Le Chabrol is the vacation you’ve been dreaming of!
Le Chabrol is exquisite. The villa is clean, perfectly appointed in the way a home would be, with every comfort and need you could imagine. The location is perfect for exploring the area with the promise of peace and quiet at the end of the day. Donald, as well as Cheri and Brian, were so kind, responsive and prompt. The house is perfect for a group of friends, some couples or a family, especially if you love cooking together. The kitchen is amazing and if you don’t take advantage of it and the many local markets, you are missing out. The bedrooms have lovely linens and all the touches that make for a comfortable stay: gorgeous views, plump pillows, plenty of lighting, ceiling fans, lots of storage and hangers, modern bathrooms, the works. The pool is lovely and cool on a warm day with sturdy wooden loungers and thick cushions poolside. Towels are provided. There’s even an herb garden! One thing to keep in mind that has nothing to do with the house: this is a rural, riverside location so bring your bug spray! Mosquitoes are abundant and will likely get indoors, so it’s something to consider and prepare for. We bought some repellent locally and took it everywhere with us for outdoor restaurant dining, sightseeing, etc. But after the first frost, I bet this is not an issue. We would love to book again in another season just to see how gorgeous the valley and river must be in fall, spring, even winter. Highly recommend!

Sue and Elliot Thank you so much for such a comprehensive review. You have covered just about everything and we are so glad you have enjoyed Le Chabrol. You are right. It is wonderful to see it in different seasons with different colours and a different atmosphere. It is also very helpful to mention the bugs in the countryside which can be prevalent at different times of the year.

An excellent property
This is the second year that we have stayed at Le Chabrol. Last year everything was excellent, this year our stay was even better. It's a first class property in a lovely location, managed by and looked after by kind and caring people who are eager to ensure that your stay is really first class. The heated pool is fantastic particularly for the youngsters. The area is very interesting and there are lots of things to keep all the family busy. There are daily markets in villages or towns within easy reach and these are always useful and exciting. We managed a number of antique markets in addition to the normal fruit and veg markets, plus an evening at the local marché gourmande. Great atmosphere and a wide variety of food available. If you go to Le Chabrol you are certain to have a wonderful time.

Fun in the Dordogne!
I am 9 years old and loved my stay at Le Chabrol with my parents. I swam everyday in the pool and sketched and did watercolors down by the river with my mother. We rode bikes to Tremolat a few times. I enjoyed the house a lot, it was very comfortable and pretty. Also, we went canoeing one day!

Best vacation house ever
We can’t say too much about Le Chabrol, it was simply perfect and helped make our Dordogne vacation one of the best of our lives. The house is situated on a gorgeous riverside property, with a lovely patio and outside dining area, as well as the pool. The interiors are tastefully and thoughtfully decorated in French country style, and so comfortable. The enormous kitchen has everything one could need (and my husband is a professional chef) so we cooked all the local foods bought at weekly markets. We have rented properties all over Europe and USA and this was hands down the best. We’re already planning on coming back. Merci beaucoup Donals and Maureen!

Best trip ever!
The story book house and setting are dreamlike. My husband and I along with our 9 year old daughter travelled from Texas to be here. We have wanted to come for awhile. And Le Chabrol lived up to everything we imagined and more. We loved swimming in the pool, canoeing on the river, biking and visiting little villages. Having dinner outside at home and in wonderful smalll restaurants.We were sad to leave.

We met up with my daughter and son-in-law for an amazing week at this gorgeous and tranquil property. The owner's love of the region and Le Chabrol is evident, and he is generous with sharing information on the area. Communication was always prompt and helpful. We appreciated the design, decor, and comfort of the house. We loved cooking in the well equipped kitchen with the added delight of fresh herbs, strawberries, and tomatoes from the garden. My daughter and I did not miss a day of swimming in the Dordogne River. Information left by previous guests enhanced our stay. It would be a dream to return to this wonderful property.

The Excellent Le Chabrol
I have rated all of the attributes of Le Chabrol as 5 star as there was no higher rating available. It was a wonderful stay in a wonderful property managed very effectively by Donald and his local team. We have stayed in properties in France, mainly the Dordogne area, for many years and Le Chabrol is the best we have stayed in. The house has everything that is needed and the surrounding area is full of interesting places to visit, restaurants, villages and local markets. Le Chabrol was a 100% success with grandparents, children and grandchildren which made for a completely successful holiday for our family. Thank you Donald and team.

Le Chabrol stay
We had a lovely time staying at Le Chabrol. The property is just beautiful. It has such a homely feel to it that you never want to leave. The communication with the owners and the property manager was excellent. Any little query I had was answered immediately. I’ve never stayed somewhere with such quick responses before! The location is great for exploring the region but would be a little boring if you didn’t have a car and were simply planning on staying in Tremolat for the duration of your stay. The summer soirée series in the local villages was fantastic. So much going on in the evenings for entertainment! Only downside for us was that we were staying during the heatwave and the property, although equipped with fans, doesn’t have any air conditioning. Overall would highly recommend and would love to return one day. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Beautiful place to stay! Very well equipped and therefore enjoyable for a relaxed night in dining at home and simply watching the sun go down. Also close to town for a good meal out. The river at the end of the garden was also an amazing addition with two teenage boys as we took our own inflatable paddle boards. One of the nicest places we have stayed in 20 years of this type of holiday.

Your perfect home base in the Perigord
We had a lovely vacation with three generations celebrating belatedly our father's 80th birthday. Le Chabrol is a perfect and tranquil home where we could relax, wake up to the singing of birds, and enjoy outdoor meals. The house is perfectly well equipped and the kitchen has everything you may need. The fresh herbs from the garden were a nice surprise and a tasty addition to all of our meals. The house is very private and is a perfectly located to be able to explore the region. We are very thankful to our great hosts and look forward to the opportunity of future visits to Le Chabrol and the Perigord.

Our stay at Le Chabrol was wonderful. The house is charming, comfortable and cosy. The big garden is really beautiful, full of flowers, strawberries, walnut trees and a clear blue swimming pool that’s always warm and perfectly sized for children and families to have fun together. It’s lovely to walk through the garden and arrive to the magnificent view of the river and the bridge. Such a special and peaceful spot to read, have a picnic or simply contemplate nature and the numerous birds flying around. Cheri and Brian, the property managers, were very welcoming, helpful and responsive. And the very thorough guide prepared by the owners is so thoughtful and full of good ideas and tips to enjoy the house and the area. All in all, a dream place, perfect to share great family moments and enjoy a perfect holiday.

Perfection!
What a wonderful property to stay in. Everything is to a very high standard. The armchairs and sofa were comfortable which is not always the case, and the superbly equipped kitchen even has sharp knives - unique in our experience! The kitchen area is large and really has everything you could want to make the most of the produce from the local markets and the garden. A bottle of good local vin blanc waiting for us in the fridge was a nice welcome. Most of the bounty from the garden has gone by October, when we stayed, but we were delighted by the herb beds! Bedrooms, bathrooms... super comfortable. This property is probably at it's best in the summer, making the most of the thick walls and open doors and windows to provide a cool base for the amazing pool, field and river; which we didn't really use. However the underfloor heating, efficient radiators and cosy furnishings also made the couple of chilly days we had very comfortable. If you are staying here you will want to explore and enjoy the area with it's town markets and tourist sights; and this is a very well located base from which to do so. Cherie and Brian were always available if needed and promptly answered the occasional question. They really have local knowledge and suggested places to visit. They and the owners put every care and effort into welcoming you to a five star property for your holiday.

A dream come true!!!!
We had the most wonderful 3 weeks at “Le Chabrol”. I could have stayed forever. This does not seem like a rental home but simply your own amazing home on the Dordogne. We rented bikes, hosted family and friends, swam and read and slept and poked around the whole area. Markets were amazing and were followed by candle lit dinners around a big communal table. The hosts and property managers were very responsive and a delight. Couldn’t recommend this property more highly!

Absolutely nothing beats Le Chabrol
Le Chabrol is truly one of our favourite places. The villa is simply divine and surrounded by beautiful gardens. With the pool and the river at the back door step, it’s an amazing place to relax, swim and enjoy the picturesque views. The villa has big open and spacious rooms, was impeccably clean with a country style feel. It is equipped with complete cooking facilities, as well as a big open fire place. It is an absolute stand out! We loved visiting the surrounding towns, eating at incredibly delicious restaurants, canoeing down la dorgogne and visiting local markets, all of which was a short drive away. It is definitely a place we would like to go back to and spend much more time exploring the countryside.

Stunning house
Le Chabrol more than lived up to expectations. The hours spent trawling the net were certainly worth it. Donald and Maureen have created a truly magical home and we feel so lucky to have had the chance to stay. The house is beautifully furnished and absolutely spotless. We love cooking and the kitchen certainly didn’t disappoint with everything you could need. The garden is simply stunning- we never tired of the view. Our boys had hours of fun swimming in the pool. The view out over the river at the bottom of the garden was also magical. The guide to the house and area that Donald and Maureen have put together proved invaluable. We visited plenty of the nearby towns and villages. Visiting in August we did find the larger food markets overwhelmingly busy but everywhere else felt very relaxed. We loved that we were so close to Tremolat. It’s a lovely village and great to have places to eat out without getting into the car every time. Brian’s and Cheri were on hand and really helpful whenever we needed them. We will certainly be back!

Une semaine bien appreciée par tout le monde
On a passé une semaine au Chabrol avec nos 3 enfants (10, 13 et 15 ans). Avec la rivière accessible du jardin, la piscine, l'infrastructure riche pour cuisiner et des distances limités pour visiter les plus beaux villages du Dordogne, c'était la combinaison parfait pour notre famille. Nager avec les poissons, explorer la rivière en stand-up peddle et canoe (qu'on a louer pour la semaine) et regarder une famille de geais des chênes qui s'amusaient chaque jour just à quelques mètres de nous sont les mémoires qu'on va caresser.

Wonderful!!
This is an amazing rental property which I can only say positive things about! My family and I stayed at Le Chabrol for a week during July 2019 and simply loved our experience. On arrival the check in process was super easy, which really helped us as we were travelling with two young children (7 and 2) and therefore weren’t sure what time we’d arrive. The owner had left us a comprehensive brochure about the property which after a 10 minute read told us everything we needed to know about how everything worked - super clear and helpful, with great tips on restaurants, places to visit, things to do. The house itself is wonderful. Large open plan downstairs with huge kitchen, large dining space and really cosy lounge area with Tv and all the entertainment needed! The kitchen was superb, all the equipment you could need, coffee machines x3!, large fridge/freezer and really well equipped with everything you’d need to cook and prepare food for a feast! Upstairs there are three beautifully presented double bedrooms with an en suite to one and good sized bathroom also. For the four of us there was ample space! And I can imagine plenty of space for 6 also. Outside the gardens and pool area are fantastic. Gorgeous pool with easy to use cover. Loads of space for lounging by the pool on lazy warm days (it was 42 degrees Celsius for three days during our stay so was very well used!!). A huge bonus is that the Dordogne river is directly at he end of the garden with private steps into the river. We loved our swims in the river and look forward to hiring Kayaks to explore the river direct from the property when our kids are a bit older. This doesn’t feel like a rental property at all, it truly feels like you have everything you need at the house as if it were yours. A particular highlight of mine was using the owners bikes to cycle to Trémolat ( a 5 minute ride) to the boulangerie each morning for fresh pain and croissants. Cycling over the dordogne bridge each morning - a delight. Couldn’t have been happier with our stay, and we’ve rented a number of properties in the dordogne over the last 5 years. This one was the best we’ve had so far! We’ll definitely be back.

Wonderful House and Location Not to be Missed
Le Chabrol provides everything you need in this beautiful, old building without losing character. Three good sized bedrooms with extremely comfortable beds, a well equipped and very functional kitchen, plenty of space inside and out. However, where Le Chabrol excels is outside. The pool is wonderful. Perfect temperature and size. The trees by the pool now give welcome shade if you need it. Eating outside is a delight, though you do have to decide; big table, small table or by the river. Such tough decisions! The location by this most beautiful part of the Dordogne is incredible and it really is only a 15 minute walk across the Dordogne to a very good bistro, a pizzeria or the more upmarket La Vielle Logis. Cycling to the bakery for the croissants and baguette was great fun too. There are some good shortish and very peaceful walks along the river or up to the "Cingle" viewpoint. The Tourist Information was really helpful and friendly. It really is a wonderful spot and a rare opportunity to find somewhere that is walkable to a village but still feels very rural. Unfortunately, there was no longer a shop in the village but the bakery did stock one or two very basic products. That said, there is a superb Intermarche only 15 minutes drive away in Le Bugue. Nothing holds me back from giving Le Chabrol a five star rating. It really deserves it. The wifi was excellent, the facilities were all good quality and worked perfectly but if you do have a problem, Brian and Cheri were there to help. We enjoyed the privacy of the pool and swam everyday but also appreciated being on the bank of the river. It is a very special place. Donald had left loads of information about things to do and places to eat but experiences not to be missed are canoeing down the Dordogne under the castles, going to at least one night market and (if finances allow) taking a balloon trip over Castelnaud and Beynac. Unforgettable. If I were to hunt for a negative, perhaps I ought to mention that the road behind Le Chabrol was busier than I had expected. My expectation was probably unrealistic!! Perhaps one tractor a day - but the reality is that it is a well used road. Not busy and certainly not an A road and it in no way distracts from the beautiful setting.

Idyllic country escape
We had an amazing time in Le Chabrol. The house itself is lovely with a great lounge room and kitchen and plenty of space to relax, cook and catch up with friends. It is tastefully decorated and has a comfortable and luxurious feeling - exactly what you want for an escape to the country. The location is excellent and it is an easy drive from Bergerac and also to surrounding towns including an excellent French wine shop and restaurant. Highlights are the lovely pool and the river and many hours were spent relaxing by the pool and enjoying the beautiful garden and views of the river with a glass of wine. I especially enjoyed the garden which is beautifully kept and had so many different types of flowers and fruit trees. The Dordogne river is literally in the house's backyard and we started every day with a swim from the property's entrance to the river which was just magical. The property was spotless and had everything you could need for a holiday including books, games, etc. The house really feels like a home away from home and my only regret is not staying longer. I can't wait to come back! I would highly recommend this property to anyone.

The grounds are extensive and beautifully kept, and the house comfortably furnished and well-equipped (the best selection of sharp kitchen knives we have ever found ). Perhaps the easiest description is that this is not a rental property but a second home, it is equipped and furnished as such with lovely linens, selections of books, and a very good kitchen, with everything needed to fully self-cater. The roads were quiet in May and the driving no problem. There are a number of local restaurants for those not wanting to cook. The care taken by the owners is outstanding, the house has details of everything, from how to work appliances to lists of local amenities. We especially appreciated the list of local food markets and enjoyed trying local produce. We had one issue which arose shortly before departure and the owners did everything they could to resolve this, going to a lot of trouble to ensure we had the best holiday. The local contacts were brilliant, friendly and could not have been more helpful. There are many attractions within an easy drive, but the house is so lovely that we could happily have stayed there all the time.

We feel so privileged to have guests like you, Martha and David. You chose Le Chabrol for a four month stint in 2016 and returned for a month this year! Thank you for enjoying the place as much as we do. Donald

Two Weeks at Le Chabrol August 2018
We had a lovely two weeks stay at Le Chabrol. The property and outside facilities are of a very high quality and the maintenence and care is excellent. The house feels like a home rather than just a rental. It is very well equipped and the furnishings are of a very good standard. As well as the heated swimming pool, the garden leads to the Dordogne river and has its own landing and a ladder down to the water to enable swimming in the river as well. Tremolat is a great location from which to explore the Dordogne Valley. The owner (Donald) and the property managers (Brian & Cheri) have been extremely helpful and welcoming. For anyone who is considering a holiday in this location we would have no hesitation in recommending this property for your stay. Steve, Sarah and family.

Quintessential French country house of the highest quality.
The house, pool and furnishings are superb and better than the excellent pictures and descriptions provided on the website. The property is beautifully maintained with loads of flowers, fruit and nut trees, a small her and strawberry garden, and expansive lawn. The location is great, with most caves, prehistoric sites, some well-preserved bastide villages being within a 30 minute drive. Some of the most picturesque villages are also a short drive. Communications with the owner were excellent, and support provided by Cheri, Brian and Corinne who live in the next village over, was perfect. Highly recommended.

Absolutely stunning property and fantastic location.
This property is exceptional. It is beautifully decorated and luxurious and has all that you need for your visit to the Dordogne. Tremolat is a beautiful village just across the bridge. Our morning bike ride for our breakfast baguette was a real treat for our teenage daughters.

Magnifiques vacances en famille dans une maison de charme en Périgord
Nous avons immédiatement adopté Le Chabrol, une maison magnifiquement aménagée dans laquelle on se sent "at home"! Quel plaisir de profiter des tomates, fraises, herbes aromatiques et noix locales, et de cuisiner dans une magnifique et conviviale cuisine. Des vélos pour aller chercher son pain le matin, des conseils de promenades pour profiter de cette belle région, des descentes de la Dordogne en canoë/kayack avec baignades et piques niques... tous les ingrédients étaient là pour une belle semaine de vacances!

Beautiful
This house is probably the most beautiful place we have ever stayed in. The thought and love that has gone into the décor is amazing - everything we needed was there (and more). We left with the best memories. Eating lunch under the cherry tree, swimming in the crystal clear waters of the pool, picking herbs, grapes and tomatoes from the vine. Evenings spent by the river, enjoying a glass of wine accompanied by freshly picked pears and the best French cheese. The 10 minute pretty walk into Tremolat to buy fresh bread, eat pizza and just chill. I only wish we could have stayed for more than a week. This place is an absolute gem and we would have no hesitation in staying again and again and again. Thank you for sharing your home with us Donald - fantastic!!!

Fabulous stay in the heart of the French countryside
We've rented many great holiday homes across France and Italy in the last 15 years but this was by far and away our best experience yet. When we got our first friendly email from Donald straight after we made our booking, we knew we were on to a winner. The location was perfect, the house luxurious with an impressively well-equipped kitchen and the garden and river incredibly tranquil. Cheri and Brian were on hand to provide useful advice and we felt very well looked after. We would happily return in the summer but (not surprisingly) this house is fully booked, so will look for dates for 2018.

Wonderful family holiday
The home is as good as the reviews say with everything you could want but this did make the week go too fast! We hired canoes which we moored at the end of the garden and we were fortunate in having great weather. The area is perfect for enjoying the dordogne region and we visited the three restaurants Donald recommended, all an experience. The gite is looked after my the wonderful Brian and Cherie which we did not know until we booked. Why was this a surprise? Well they have a guest house overlooking the Dordogne in Lalinde, Maison Porte del Marty which we stayed at last year. So if your flights don't quite match up then you can stay a night or two here before or after Tremolat. It was quality time with our children and their partners and none of us would say no to returning, in fact we would all jump at the chance. Time to check the diaries......

Thank you Malcolm. We are so glad you had a great family holiday and I am also glad we were able to accommodate you with a last-minute booking which came through while I was walking the Camino in Spain. I am pleased to hear that canoes can still be rented just across the river, then moored at our little jetty - what a way to spend a day! We would love to have you back and wish you luck in finding the home you are looking for in this wonderful part of the world. Donald
