Daglan for Rent: 4 Fabulous houses with extraordinary views in the heart of the Dordogne - Property 77994

Those little extras.....: Having taken holidays in the past with a well known British company that provides luxurious accommodation throughout the British Isles, we have learnt much from our time with them and have applied their diligent strategies to our own homes here in the Dordogne. We have taken it upon ourselves to provide everything that could be wished for in a self catering accommodation. Those little things that we take for granted at home but rarely find provided when we leave to holiday abroad are always provided here at La Prairie. After all it would be nice to arrive to a home that is welcoming. Where there is a bottle of wine chilling in the fridge and orange juice for the children or for breakfast. Some strawberry biscuits would be nice and also a cold bottle of spring water. It would be even nicer to find that there is toilet paper, a bag in the dustbin, kitchen roll and dishwasher tablets and some washing machine powder for that first inevitable wash that will need doing.

More little extras....: During an early spring one year we rented a house in the Pyrenees and after a long tiring journey we arrived to find that the fire had not been lit and the house was cold. The beds were unmade and there were no towels. The fridge was empty and there was not even pepper and salt. Arriving at La Prairie is the antithesis of this unfortunate situation that befell us many years ago. Arrive during the cooler months and the wood burners will be burning brightly. The beds will be freshly made and the bathroom sparkling clean with towels laid out ready for use and soft bath mats. There will undoubtedly be a fresh table cloth waiting for you to lay the oak table for supper. Candles will be ready to be lit. But best of all is the knowledge that if I have somehow overlooked the essential item to make your holiday complete, then let me know and I, within limits, will provide what is missing.

For our younger guests....: Having had a brood of children ourselves, we understand the need to provide everything to make your holiday as unstressful as possible. The very thought of flying into Bergerac or driving down with push chairs, potties, changing mats, cots, bedding, baby listening devices, toys, books, plastic dishes, high chairs, stair gates, a baby relax chair and goodness knows what else, is ridiculous. So we provide it. All of it. And once again if anything is missing, let me know.

Golf: La Prairie is very fortunately situated within a few miles of one of the most beautiful golf courses in the South West of France. That it happens to be next to the river Dordogne and home to a well known gastronomic restaurant is a wonderful piece of luck! After all, when those 18 holes are done and dusted who would dream of objecting to a cold beer on the terrace of Rochebois or perhaps a candle lit dinner?

Other Activities: Hot air ballooning, paintball, quad bike riding
