Virginia - Australia

My husband and I and two friends spent two wonderful weeks in May at La Banne.

We received the warmest of welcomes from Neil and David on our arrival. Everything was immaculate and spotlessly clean. I think the nicest touch were the beautiful vases of fresh flowers in the Gite which were just superb. The accommodation was superb, modern, with all the conveniences you could ask for with an abundance of crockery, cutlery, dishes, saucepans etc enabling me to make and cook meals whilst we were there.  The bedrooms and bathrooms were again, modern and very well appointed, with lovely linens and towels.  There was also wine in the ‘wine rack’ on an honour system, which was very handy if you were after something to drink and had not had the chance to buy anything.

The outdoor summer kitchen and BBQ were great as was the pool. The gite is located in the nicest of settings and the grounds are amazing, such beautiful gardens and flower beds everywhere, picture postcard.  You can tell that Neil and David love their property and take the best care of it.

The nearby town of Belves was gorgeous, with many options to dine, and a weekly market which was great. 

Nothing was too much trouble for Neil and David who also recommended places of interest which were not on our list.

Cannot speak highly enough about La Banne, Neil and David and the Dordogne which is breathtaking.

We would all love to return one day.
