B&B Ferme de Tayac

If you’re looking for a special place to stay in the heart of the Dordogne, Ferme de Tayac is the place! Set in the town of Les Eyzies within walking distance to the National Museum of Prehistory and many fine restaurants, excellent hosts, Eleonore and Cedric, run a small boutique hotel complete with a beautiful garden and swimming pool. The rooms are comfortable—especially the bed—with modern bathrooms. You also get a delicious breakfast with lots of homemade and locally sourced breads, jams, cheeses, and yogurt. But above all you get the friendliest and most helpful hosts ever! Eleanore—fluent in French, English and German, at least—oriented us to the best sites to see and even helped to make our dinner reservations! We would definitely return given the opportunity!

Wow--what a wonderful place to stay while enjoying the surroundings in Les Eyzies. We enjoyed our stay immensely. Both the lodging and the surrounding gardens were incredibly relaxing and created the perfect place to decompress after a day out. Eleanor and Cedric were wonderful hosts. If you're headed to Les Eyzies and looking for a place to stay--stop looking--stay here.

Ferme de Tayac was a perfect base to explore the Tayac area. The setting is beautiful and calm, the pool perfect to refresh in after a day of cycling. Eleonore and Cedric are wonderful hosts and couldn't do enough for us. They were responsive to all our emails - often delivering responses well after midnight. The breakfasts were hearty and delicious and all the restaurant recommendations excellent. Our room was very comfortable and lovely with the outdoor access. They have a great relationship with Robert at Aquitaine Bike who set us up with great bikes, routes, and helpful advice. We cannot say enough about this place and would like to return. The Ferme de Tayac was highly recommended to us and we will be recommending it to our friends.

This is one of those places that seasoned travelers want to keep secret - it’s absolutely perfect in every way! The rooms and grounds are beautiful and historical, the surroundings are amazing ( right next door to a fortified church from the early Middle Ages). Also, the location is exactly where you want to be to explore the nearby prehistoric caves, lovely small villages, chateaus and castles. The owners Eleanore and Cedric will make you feel right at home and they have wonderful suggestions for restaurants and things to do! This is my third time to stay and I cannot wait to visit again!

This is the loveliest most comfortable place to stay! The owners, Eleonore and Cedric, are equally lovely. We have stayed two years in a row and plan to return this next year. What better recommendation than we can't wait to return?

Our stay at the Ferme de Tayac for 4 nights was a highlight of our trip to France and a true delight. Eleanore and Cedric were thoughtful hosts and have created a quiet, welcoming retreat that we’ll hope to come back to visit again. Among the things we most enjoyed was the location: just a few blocks from the train station and the town center of Les Eyzies, and yet still with a quiet and secluded feeling. The grounds of their property has a history dating back hundreds of years as a monastery, and the eglise that it served still stands next door, and is a quiet retreat spot itself. Eleanor had a huge amount of helpful information about the area—from hiking paths, to eateries to history museums. Cedric treated us to a concert of 78 rpm gramophone records which was a truly unique experience! The breakfasts and small amenities like tea, an swimming pool and outdoor sitting tables were really wonderful. But above all else was our experience of their warm hospitality and the tranquil a**osphere they’ve created at Ferme de Tayac.

Great location and service. Rooms are comfortable and pleasent. Awsome breakfast with large offerings. Hoghly recommended for individuals,couples and families. The location allows access to the Perigord attractions. Plenty of resturants and services near by. The owner is multilingual and speaks fluent French, English and German.

We had a superb week at the Ferme de Tayac in the Vezere Valley of France. Our hosts were delightful, helpful and knowledgeable about the region. The room was comfortable and beautifully furnished with a comfy bed and well appointed adjoining bathroom. Breakfasts were fabulous! All this in a renovated 12th century monastery!

Wow. A really unique and fantastic place. We stayed in the Charles Trenet room which was uniquely and beautifully decorated. A fantastic blend of antique decorations and modern facilities. Hard to thread that needle but I think they succeeded. Elinor is also an amazing attentive and gracious host. If your travels take you to the area you would be hard pressed for a better choice.
