Caractére Gite in Périgord 'Oven'

Good but disappointing WiFi & privacy Pro: Pool very clean, good size, well maintained and plenty of space for games, eg football. House cool despite aircon upstairs only, due to thick stone walls. Good size tables and plenty of crockery & cutlery. 2 large fridge freezers. Outside table well lit but dining room poorly lit, nearly half the chandelier bulbs not working. Con: Beds not made and insufficient linen for the number of guests/bed configuration needed. Wi-Fi only 1Mbps at best, almost unusable. Uneven paths, guest suffered an ankle injury. Uneven, dirty patio with dangerous hole in sharp broken tile, which we filled with soil. Outside oven not secured properly, when door pulled open oven came out of housing. Washing machine would not work due to insufficient water pressure. We had to use an ancient machine in an outhouse in the adjacent gite. Shared children’s swing/slide in play area was unsafe, whole structure moved. TV only French terrestrial channels, no satellite or internet connection. In any case, the WiFi was far too slow to support streaming. At the end of our 2nd week, newly arrived guests started to use the garden of our gite as a ‘short cut’ to access theirs, saying the owner had given them permission, but the owner hadn’t spoken to us. We had young children in the pool/playing area and did not appreciate strangers wandering through. The other guests were very aggressive & insisted they had the right to wander through our area. If you are looking for privacy do not book this property.

Delightful stay in Perigord The property is a perfect place for an extended family group to stay, with plenty of space for our group of six adults and four children. There is an additional outdoor kitchen to take the pressure off the the space of the kitchen indoors, and large tables for the whole family to sit down, both indoors and outdoors. The best feature of the property is the outdoor space. The pool is superb, and there is lots of ground to set up and play outdoor games such as croquet and badminton. Monsieur and Madame Moutier were always on hand, and reacted quickly on the occasion when something was broken and needed to be replaced.
