The Gite was exactly as described and all we hoped for. It was spacious, beautifully clean, quiet and very comfortable, both the large downstairs bed we used and the settee (often a failing in Gites, in our extensive experience). The kitchen equipment was high quality and comprehensive. The shower was splendid! We were so grateful that hand soap and washing up liquid were supplied, so often this is not the case and one ends up buying them, only to use a little. The air conditioning was so welcome. Being able to park in the shade next to the house was great, and a real bonus was that we could access the park and stream through a community garden next to the drive so our dog could get her "fix" of swimming and ball throwing a minute from the house! The stream seemed clean, with fish in it and plants. Thank goodness for that as it was 33 degrees all week and the tarmac was too hot for paws most of the day. The village cafe was great, coffee with a croissant from the bakery on our morning walk was ideal. The Logis Hotel did an excellent lunch but only 2 days a week, need to book. The Spar was well stocked, the organic wine shop very reasonable (& served beer on Saturday afternoon)! The Dordogne beach at Caudon was sandy and ideal for dog swimming (although probably too busy in the summer). Several people were swimming too. Thank you to Milène & Yannick for allowing us to stay and for the gift of a bottle of wine.
