Bread-Oven Cottage - Cottage Holiday Rental in Meyronne, Dordogne, France

Fantastic, quiet, rural location but within easy reach of beautiful local towns - Martel being the highlight. Great accommodation with a brilliant swimming pool and terrace. The setting is just as picturesque as the photos suggest, set in a wide valley with corn fields in all directions. The River Dordogne is less than 10 minutes walk and is simply stunning.

There is a real sense of being in a genuine French community rather than it being dominated by holiday makers, the local people don't speak a lot of English which for us was a bonus and stopped us being lazy with our language. It probably goes without saying, but the local food and wine is some of the best you will find.

Sean and Cecile were incredibly welcoming and helpful with advice on places to visit / eat. The whole atmosphere was completely relaxed and friendly. We were genuinely sad to be leaving.

The Bread oven was immaculately presented with all the facilities you need for a self catering stay, the gardens and swimming pool were lovely areas to spend time with fantastic views of the surrounding limestone cliffs. Located in a great part of the Dordogne for reaching the river and numerous other tourist attractions. We had a great holiday here and we would highly recommended it.

We stayed in the Bread Oven this summer having previously stayed in the Barn several years before and had a fantastic holiday! The accommodation is top notch and the owners Sean and Cecile have put a great deal of thought and effort into providing a high quality and really comfortable environment. The grounds are well kept and match the quality of the accommodation. We had great weather and spent most afternoons in the outdoor pool. We would recommend taking a walk up to the adjacent local woodlands. Despite a steep climb the viewpoint offers a fantastic view of the Dordogne river and surrounding countryside.

Would recommend a meal at La Terrasse situated in the village - fantastic views of the river and if weather allows try to get a table on the terrace!

We will definitely be back and my parents(fussy travellers!!) are due to stay next summer on our recommendation.

We had a wonderful stay at Laborie. The 'Bread Oven' cottage was lovely, clean, nicely decorated and well equipped. The location was beautiful and very peaceful but very convenient to get to lots of the lovely places of interest around the Dordogne and the Lot. The owners were so welcoming and friendly and helpful with recommendations for restaurants and places to visit.

We have just arrived home from the most wonderful weeks holiday staying in the Bread Oven at Laborie. what a fantastic location, lovely accommodation and a great warm welcome  from the owners Sean and Cecile

The location is perfect for touring the local area, with all the picturesque towns and cliff side villages within easy reach. Sean and Ceciles local knowledge was excellent, and they pointed us in the direction of some fantastic sites. once back at the Bread Oven our son was happy in the pool while my wife and I sipped local red wine (very cheap as well) in our own private garden over looking the pool. All in all a fantastic holiday, we shall be recommending Laborie to all our friends. Perfect, we shall be returning next year.

We had a wonderful week in the bread oven cottage. Sean and Cecile made us feel really welcome with lots of little touches like the bottle of wine on arrival and especially the NZ tea towel in the kitchen! The boys loved finding a playmate in 4 year old Eva!!! The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed. Sean and Cecile provided us with invaluable information as to local attractions. Our highlights would have been the canoe trip down the Dordogne and the walk from Bouzies to St Cirq Lapopie. There was so much to do we could have easily filled in another week or two. Our week finished with a great family night out with Sean, Cecile and Eva sampling some of the local delicacies.

We would not hesitate to recommend Laborie to friends or family, particularly those with children, as a fantastic place to stay.

This has to be one of the best places for a quiet, relaxing, place to stay. Surrounded by beauty and in a location close to so many of the must see's. Just lovely.

The bread-oven was perfect for us (incl 2 kids - 5yrs & nearly 2yrs). All 3 properties lovely, well furnished, very clean and a great base for the holiday. The pool was an excellent respite for all, post our daily travels. Salt water pool too - no chlorine - brill!!!

Sean and Cecile were the best for hospitality, friendliness, any information and always making sure all was well. With Eva who was a lovely friend for our kids and the whole family, not something you'll get on most holidays. We regret not being able to have booked for longer, so will definitely be returning, there's just so much to see and do and the weather to do it in.

We've been blown away by our Dordogne experience. We can only recommend Labrie Meyronne and Sean, Cecile & Eva's welcome and hospitality highly.

Having recently returned from a two week holiday at Laborie staying in the Bread-Oven Cottage we would like to share our experience of a great holiday and also take this opportunity to thank our superb hosts... Sean & Cecile.

Laborie is set in beautiful countryside and we can definitely say that the phrase "getting away from it all" applies here. Days spent lazing around the pool and evening walks along the country lanes were a welcome tonic and yet it's also a well-placed location to go off for a day's sightseeing. There are some truly beautiful villages and towns to explore, Domme, Carennac, Rocamadour, La Roque-Gageac to name but a few. Plus, if you enjoy gardens then there is some fantastic topiary to see at the gardens of Marqueyssac and Eyrignac which are all within an hour’s drive. Other adventures to be had were canoeing on the river Dordogne which can be easily arranged close by in Meyronne.

There are a variety of eateries ranging from the very family friendly La Capricorne in St. Sozy less than 5 mins drive away (excellent Pizza's eat in or takeaway) to the fine dining at La Terrasse restaurant which is within 10 mins walking distance. On a practical note, the accommodation had our every need covered. We would strongly recommend Laborie and this location to all for a wonderful holiday.
