About this property

BUTTERFLY Cottage - Cosy Romantic Cottage in a calm hamlet, heated pool, gym

Butterfly Cottage is centrally located in the most desirable part of the Dordogne - the Perigord Noir. Located in a hamlet on a no-through-road (no passing traffic) the location is very peaceful and enjoys beautiful views across the village and the surrounding countryside. The Cottage is just minutes from fairytale settings of Chateau de Commarque and Les Jardins de Marqueyssac, historical sites of Font de Gaume, Lascaux Caves, Chateau Castlenaud and medieval villages of Beynac, Les Eyzies and Sarlat-la-Caneda.

The cottage looks out onto a large courtyard with a beautiful Mulberry tree that sits in the centre. The courtyard is your own private area to relax in and enjoy watching the swallows fly in and out of the barn door. Also, your personal 3 burner Weber gas grill is in the courtyard so you can cook up a barbeque. Inside the cottage there are beautiful wooden floors and all the modern conveniences of home. There is a fully equipped kitchen with a breakfast table and bar stools. The living and dining room area is one great room. The living room has 2 comfortable reclining leather chairs and a lovely sofa to relax on. The custom made sofa is a sleeper bed for the possibility of having a third guest. The dining area has a wonderful large bar top table that seats up to 4 persons. The bathroom is down stairs and is fully updated with a new walk-in rain shower. The spacious master bedroom is upstairs with a beautiful wood beam ceiling, wood floors, and a heavenly King size bed (180*200).

This is a charming property full of character, and beautifully furnished. You have the feel of the 17th century, but all the upgrades and comfort of home. There is a gorgeous garden to relax in and read a book. So whether you are a couple on your honeymoon, friends on vacation, or a family wanting some quality time together, there is something for everyone to enjoy at The Butterfly Cottage.

Butterfly Cottage is your sanctuary for relaxation but as it is located in the heart of the famous Golden Triangle of the Perigord Noir we are just 6kms from Les Eyzies, 6kms from the lovely village of St. Cyprien (and all required services) and 20 mins to the historic town of Sarlat-la-Caneda. Our local centre at Meyrals is just 3km away and provides a bakery, a bar and 2 restaurants.

A relaxing time
Fantastic surroundings, wonderful pool and gorgeous gardens. A warm welcome awaits at Les Hirondelles and you couldn’t stay in a more picturesque and relaxing place. We had absolutely everything we needed within Butterfly Cottage. So well equipped, comfortable and charming. Thank you Uliana and Andrew for your warm welcome, we hope to see you again next year.

Beautiful Carmensac
We had another wonderful holiday at Les Hirondelles (our third), this time for 3 weeks. We both wished it had been 4 weeks. The location is so central to all of incredible sites contained in the Dordogne. The cottage was perfect and contained everything we might need. The new owners, Andy and Uliana, could not have been better hosts. They are very personable and were always there to respond to any questions or needs that we had. They were the perfect hosts for a perfect holiday location.

A piece of paradise!
For three weeks in October, 2018, my husband and I enjoyed Butterfly Cottage and called it 'home' while we explored the area. The cottage is charming and very comfortable with everything you need to enjoy your stay. A bonus was that we had our own patio to enjoy listening to the doves, drinking wine or coffee and planning each days adventures. Our host and hostess were there for us when we needed advice or help of any kind, but never intruded on our personal space if/when we were wanting to be on our own. In addition to being spacious and comfortable, the cottage is located very close to many of the interesting chateaux, grottos, gardens and delightful villages that dot the countryside. We can hardly wait to return!

Our most relaxing and idylic holiday accomodation ever.
We have stayed in this beautiful cottage now for three years running and every time we stay it is harder to leave it all behind. The cottage itself is spotlessly clean, the bed is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in, which means you actually go on holiday and sleep better than you do at home! The cottage is beautifully decorated and has a lovely warm feeling to it, outside the patio area is amazing, totally private and plenty of comfortable seating areas plus a large gas barbeque for those lovely hot evenings relaxing with a local bottle of wine or two. George and Linda are the most wonderful hosts, nothing is ever too much for them and Linda is on hand to advise you about all the places you can visit within a very short car drive. There is so much to visit that you will never get bored but also lovely walks from the cottage if you don't want to be bothered to use the car. There is the chance of having a chef come and cook a meal for you which again Linda organises if you want to try it. Take it from us you will not regret Dimitri cooking for you it is the best food we have ever tasted. I really can't express how beautiful and relaxing the stay is at the butterfly cottage and our only regret is that we can't stay longer and more often.

We have a corporate career behind us but have now decided to embark on a new adventure. We purchased Les Hirondelles in November 2018. The property has consistently earned 5 star ratings and rave reviews over the last 10 years. In our first season we were able to maintain the high standard of accommodation and hospitality, earning our own 5 star ratings.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location!!! All our guests agree we are in the center of paradise. Privacy, peace, and quiet!! Away from it all, but with everything close by. You have a gorgeous villa to relax and enjoy, but within 5 to 20 minutes you can see so many fascinating and historical sites in the Perigord Noir. There is so much to see and do in our area, that you could stay for a month and not see it all. There are beautiful village's and chateaux's to explore; the Dordogne and Vezere rivers offering fishing and canoeing; as well as superb restaurants and shops. There are numerous vineyards of Bergerac for wine enthusiasts and there is a different local market situated in a nearby village or town for every day of the week. This is a wonderful home to enjoy and relax in, has all the amenities you could want, and close to everything. We hope to see you soon!!
