We stayed for one week at this beautiful house. Spacious and very well equipped. We particularly loved the pool and bbq area. The table tennis was also a pleasant surprise. Great library of novels and DVDs available in the lounge. We had everything we needed for a lovely relaxing holiday. The area is stunning and we loved having breakfast and dinner on the terrace looking across the stunning views. Paussac st vivien is so pretty, as is the nearby Brantome. On the recommendation in the welcome pack we attended the Brantome market on the Friday morning. We also went to one of the recommended lakes and recommended restaurants, and loved both. We look forward to returning!Guest rating:
We had an enjoyable week long family holiday at Les Cerises. The gite is spacious and very well equipped; it easily accommodates two families. There were three outside eating areas, with one by the pool. The second kitchen downstairs leads to the pool and was very convenient for preparing food and drinks for round the pool. The lounge is very large and there is comfortable seating for all. An excellent range of dvds are available, if you want them, and there is a good number of games too. The grounds are large and the views over the countryside are lovely. The pool itself is well maintained and there is a selection of pool toys and floats. The house is situated in a small village which is served by a small shop that sells basic needs, including the daily baguette (or pain). It also serves food and drinks. The villagers we spoke to were all very friendly and welcoming. Allison, the owner, is very helpful and my queries were answered promptly. There is also local help to hand, if required. We visited Brantome two or three times. The lovely small river beach with life-guard manned swimming is popular, but was never crowded. There is plenty to see and do in the region. Happy to recommend the house and the region.Guest rating:
We had a fantastic stay at this lovely holiday house. We had everything we needed facilities wise with plenty of space and peace and quiet. The house is gated and private and the village is walkable with a small shop selling bread and other essentials.
The pool is fantastic and we enjoyed cooling off in the unexpected hot weather!
There is plenty to see and we enjoyed visits to Brantome, Perigeux and Saint-Jean-de-Cole. The kayaking in Bourdeilles was super fun as well!
We would recommend Les Cerises to other families looking for a relaxing and fun place to stay in the Dordogne.Guest rating:
We spent a wonderful week at Les Cerises and enjoyed every minute of our fantastic family holiday. The house is well located with the picturesque town of Brantome about 15 minutes away; two supermarkets in close proximity and lake beaches nearby. The setting is beautiful; the village of Paussac et St Vivien is surrounded by sunflower fields stretching as far as the eye can see. There are plenty of opportunities for walking and cycling, but we didn’t leave the house much as we had everything we needed there. We've stayed in a lot of French villas and houses and this has been one of my favourites. It is perfect for a family holiday with three bedrooms downstairs and a kitchen/utility area that leads to the garden and pool. Upstairs is a living room, another bedroom and a main kitchen with a terrasse outside with a table and seating for six people. Eating our dinner outside and watching the sun go down with a glass of wine was one of the highlights of the holiday, that I will remember for years to come. I even saw a shooting star! The pool is by far the best we’ve ever had. The owner, Allison, was very kind and could not have been more helpful or accommodating. All in all Les Cerises is highly recommended.

We stayed at this lovely house for 11 glorious days. The facilities above and beyond our expectations, washing machine etc. Excellent outside pool and barbeque facilities. Private gated property in a lovely stone village setting. Great local walks, not far from Brantôme en Périgord and many other places of interest. Very quiet roads, Five stars location.

We had a fantastic time in this wonderful house, the pool was amazing with a fantastic array of pool toys for my daughter to enjoy. We stayed when the UK put us in the isolation period so going out and about we limited, but the area and local amenities meant we didn't have to go far. The house is very well equipped, the lounge was very comfortable and the DVD collection is fantastic. The area is stunning and lovely Brantome is very close. Eating on the terrace and watching the sunset every evening was divine and the hosts and Giselle were very welcoming. I wouldn't hesitate to book again.
Guest rating:
Idyllic location with beautiful views and surroundings within a National Park region. The village was picturesque and house was near to local amenities.
House was superb with 4 bedrooms and adequate, spacious facilities for two families. First floor patio area overlooked the Gardens and swimming pool with excellent views of a forest in the valley. Excellent parking for 4 vehicles.
Home had a French feel to it with a well maintained kitchen on the first floor. There was also a kitchen area on the ground floor with easy access to garden and pool.
There were two bathrooms with two separate individual toilets.
Very clean and tidy and excellent WiFi facilities.
We will definitely book every year at this exquisite residence.
Booking and communications with the owner was first class and nothing was too much troubleGuest rating:
This house is spacious, comfortable and tastefully decorated, it has a very well equipped kitchen and everything else will you need during your stay. One of the most important things for us is that the beds are comfy and the house is clean and tidy. It has a very large garden with beautiful views over the surrounding countryside and a private pool with a large patio area. There are plenty of sun loungers and reclining chairs for taking in the sun and lots of pool toys and table tennis to keep the kids happy. The house is situated in a lovely sleepy hamlet, with a shop 2 minutes walk away, where you can pick up some of the essentials but there are several larger villages and towns within a short drive where you can find supermarkets for a bigger shop and restaurants and cafes if you fancy a bite out. 15 minutes away, Bourdilles has a castle and a chateau and some lovely restaurants, Brantome has a great market on a Friday and some great places to eat next to the river. I could go on and on about places that you can visit within easy reach of the house but there are too many to list. The owners happy to give assistance and the house was ready for us on arrival, nothing to do but put your bags down and head for the pool. We have stayed at the house every summer for the last 3 years and we love it. We will definitely be going again and would recommend it to anyone.

If you love sunning by the pool, wine, food, and a quiet beautiful setting then this is for you. The pool is amazing and a must in the hot weather. The house is spacious and homely and the owners accommodating and helpful. The location is great, being around the corner from picturesque villages, swimming lakes and restaurants. We love it and would go back without hesitation. You will not be disappointed.

Our family of 2 adults and 3 children stayed here for 2 weeks in August 2018 and had a truly fantastic holiday. The house is big and spacious, arranged over 2 levels with a large living room in the upstairs, with french doors out to a sunny balcony for dining. There was a well-equipped country-style kitchen just off the balcony which was very convenient. The downstairs had 2 further bedrooms, living space and an extra kitchen which was great for storage and servicing the charcoal BBQ just outside. The large pool in the garden was well maintained, clean and surrounded by plenty of space for sunbathing and lounging around. There was also lots of space in the garden for playing games and for the children to run around. Two bikes with helmets were available for our use and also a table-tennis table. There is lots to do in the surrounding area: Brantome and its market, canoeing on the Dronne river, the Lascaux caves, Grotte de Villars and Bourdeilles chateau are all close by. Thoroughly recommended.
Guest rating:
Les Cerises is a great place to relax. Whilst in the middle of a small village the only sound is silence (and a few pigeons).
A very well equipped and comfortable property where you can do as much or as little as you wish. The pool area and garden are excellent with ample space for children to enjoy themselves in total safety.
The surrounding area awaits you to find those unexpected views and treasures which abound all through France.
Discover the best pizzeria at 'Le Cabanon', Creyssac, a wonderful evening meal at 'Le Pont Moulin', Lisle and a super lunch at 'Rouge' a bistro in the centre of Tocane-St-Apre.Guest rating:
If you want quiet unspoilt this is the place. Sleep hamlet with one shop/bar yards from the house Ideal location for cycling/walkers not hilly The house is large and modernised with all facilities. The terrace for Barbie's is wonderful. We were unlucky sunshine wise in September (unseasonal !) so did n't make much use of the pool.It was dry and warm enough to eat out every night. The pool area is wonderful and there is a large garden for football etc ,there are loads of play toys for pool use plus Badminton and table tennis equipment A car is essential for going out and about but Brantome is only 15minutes away at most with several nice restaurants.Here you will find a Carrefour and Aldi plus cheap fuel at Carrefour and there are good eateries withinGuest rating:
Very comfortable house, well equipped and tastefully decorated. Lovely, large garden and excellent pool with plenty of seating and little extras, like inflatables, table tennis etc, which kept our 2 children amused. Enjoyed sitting and eating out on terrace in a beautiful and peaceful setting. Great house to get together with friends and family - plenty of room.
Quiet village, with small shop/cafe. Lots of supermarkets a short drive away and local markets with tasty French produce. Bourdeilles, very close by, has a fantastic open air food fair on Wednesday evenings in the square, during summer and a chateau in the pretty village.
Loads to see and do - kayaking, swimming, walking, horse riding, historical sites and beautiful chateaus. Brantome is gorgeous and close by, a little further afield, Aubettere has a great beach area on the river, our children loved it. Good base for exploring medieval villages and castles. We visited Hautefort Chateau and Jumillac castle - well worth a visit.Guest rating:
This house is great in a small village with bar and shop. The sun sets where fantastic as was the lightning storm on one evening. The rooms where big with plenty of space so as not to get on top of each other. Outside was a large law and at the bottom of the garden you can lay on the grass and see the wonders of the universe and all its stars. The owners could not do enough for us and the bedrooms were all ready for when we arrived. The heating in one room was a large wood burner that was great to sit around drinking a nice glass of win as was the upstairs terrors. We will definitely come again.Guest rating:
