Romantic Cottage near Dordogne Sarlat with Heated Pool, Hot Tub, Sauna, Gym,WiFi

We stayed at the Butterfly Cottage for a wonderfully memorable week . When we arrived we were greeted by our hosts Linda and George who were extremely welcoming and showed us around the cottage. We were overwhelmed by the quality of the cottage, a lovely enclosed courtyard centered by a beautiful Mulberry tree greeted us on our way into the very clean, and fully equipped kitchen. Through to the lounge and dining area with extremely comfortable furniture (which was very welcoming after days of hiking the Dordogne). Huge TV and freesat + DVD, stereo etc..... Upstairs a beautifully decorated bedroom with a "massive" king size bed ( so comfortable you don't want to get out of it in the morning). The cottage was also extremely clean, and spotless.

Our days were filled with hiking the most beautiful villages of the Dordogne, such a Beynac, La Roque Gageac, Domme, and our favorite St.Leon sur Vezere, then returning in the afternoon to soak up the sun and relax in the heated pool or soothing Jacuzzi. George and Linda do a marvelous job of keeping up the garden, where we sat in the evenings enjoying a relaxing glass or two of wine. Truly a place we recommend for its quality, comfort, and relaxation - can't wait to return.

This is a most delightful place to be in the Dordogne - and the Butterfly Cottage is the perfect place for 2 people. It has a lovely courtyard to sit and relax, gardens and views across open countryside. The whole property is so well appointed with everything you need - and if you're short of something then Linda and George will supply it for you. The furnishings and decor are very tasteful and restful and it feels like a home away from home as soon as you step inside. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could need to prepare your meals. The bedroom has the most comfortable king size bed you will probably find in all of France. The swimming pool area is great and the extent of the property is such that there is a wonderful sense of space.

HIghly recommended for a peaceful and relaxing stay - and there are plenty of places to visit in the area. The location of the Butterfly Cottage gave us the opportunity to explore a wide area and we were able to discover many beautiful places that suited our taste. We had great weather and having a base to come home to was ideal. We certainly would recommend anyone to stay here its absolutely delightful.

Thank you Linda and George for an absolutely delightful stay! We are already looking at our calendar for 2018 to make a return visit to your beautiful piece of paradise!! Susan & Greg - Manchester, U.K.

My husband and I stayed for a week this past October and it was a most memorable and delightful experience. The Butterfly cottage is amazing and made even better with such great hosts George and Linda. As noted in the other reviews, the cottage is very spacious for a couple, spotlessly clean, and very well furnished, with a fully equipped kitchen, a spacious and comfortable sitting/dining area, a very spacious bathroom with a great shower, and a large bedroom with a very comfortable king bed and lots of closet/storage space. Everything about the cottage was very comfortable and thoughtfully arranged. The grounds are large and private, with lovely gardens throughout, a great heated chlorine free pool, a hot tub we used every night, and beautiful chickens that provide fresh eggs. Although the area is very quiet and peaceful it is not too remote, there are nearby markets and dozens of interesting sights nearby.

What made our stay truly exceptional was the thoughtfulness and graciousness of our hosts. Linda and George are both very committed to make sure you have a wonderful time, both at the cottage and on your travels around the area. Linda took the time to give great and easy directions, sparing us from ever getting lost. We ended up having a much more relaxing time and being able to enjoy more sights very close to the cottage, while still making it home in time to enjoy cooking dinner with ingredients from the local markets. One night we had a wonderful dinner prepared by Chef Dimitri, who I would highly recommend as part of your stay. Both before and during our stay Linda and George were immediately accessible and responsive but not at all intrusive.

We have been to France many times but had never been to the Dordogne before, and really enjoyed both the sights and its natural beauty. I cannot recommend the Butterfly Cottage highly enough as a base from which to explore the Dordogne (or to just relax). As you can see from their reviews, Linda and George haven’t disappointed anyone yet, and they made our stay an absolute delight.

Two years ago we stayed at Les Hirondelles and enjoyed it so much that we knew we had to return which we did this September. The Butterfly Cottage is simply magical and has everything you could possibly want or need. Before entering the cottage there is a beautiful stone courtyard and in its center a magnificent mulberry tree that welcomes butterflies, swallows and doves. It also welcomed us with comfortable lounges and chairs. Many an afternoon, after sightseeing, we spent a relaxing time with a glass of wine and a good book.

The cottage itself is equally astounding. Entering the cottage there is a wonderful sunny kitchen equipped with anything you might possibly need for a two week stay. The table beside the window was our favourite place for breakfast and lunches. The living room and dining room had two sets of large French doors that opened onto the patio. Upstairs is a lovely bedroom with loads of storage space and a very comfortable king-size bed.

The Butterfly Cottage was absolutely wonderful, but made even more so by Linda and George who were so helpful in providing anything we might need and advising on the best, and there are many, sights to see - villages, markets, gardens, castles and chateaux. They really made us feel at home. They also organized the fabulous Dimitri to cook for us at the cottage while we watched him prepare and then serve us another unforgettable meal. Everyone should treat themselves tp at least one of Dimitri's incomparable dinners.

Thank you Linda and George for another amazing stay! You two are the best!

From the moment we arrived we knew this place was special. Linda and George were there to greet us and show us the most beautiful Butterfly Cottage. It has everything you could want and more, Linda has made sure there is nothing you could want for or need to have the perfect vacation. The bedroom is absolutely heavenly, with a giant king size bed, beautiful sheets, blankets, towels and bathrobes. The living room and dining area have all the amenities you could want, TV, dvd player, stereo, Wi-Fi, comfortable and new furniture, decorated with taste and love. The kitchen is equipped with all the gidgets and gadgets you need, to prepare wonderful French meals. Speaking of meals, Dimitri the French chef was one of the best highlights of any of our vacations. What a delicious meal and truly amazing experience. The property & garden, the pool & the Jacuzzi, and of course Linda and George with their wealth of information on the area, we could go on and on about how much we loved this place. The Dordogne is truly a beautiful and very special place to visit, made so much better by staying at the Butterfly Cottage.
