We loved this house, stayed for 12 days and relaxed and ate and drank in the early French summer.
We nearly didn’t book mainly because of the lack of reviews and the somewhat, what seemed to be clumsy correspondence back and forth to the owner that at time made no sense.
The house is situated on a large block, stunning driveway on the outskirts of Saint Crepin et Carculet. The house has almost everything, gourmet kitchen with plentiful of everything and quality too, luxury bathrooms and more. On the negative side the TV is old, the door locking will drive you mad to the point where you leave the place unlocked and there is no music system or way to play such.
Luckily we traveled with our apple tv and Google home. Even in early summer the house became quite warm in the afternoons, there are a couple of small fans that just don’t cut it. Needs many more.
The garden is large but the surface is riddled with weeds, what grass there is almost dead and only the brave would venture without shoes in fear of needles in the foot. The rear concrete area is filthy dirty and in need of a good clean.
The village of Saint Crepin et Carculet has no facilities at all, very very quiet but the next village of Salignac ( 4 kilometres away ) has everything you would need food wise, don’t get ripped off at the Sarlet markets, visit the producers market store in Salignat for everything. We had a great holiday, the owner needs to understand communication, Its important to understand that this property really doesn’t have a manager.
The compendium is almost non existent, a couple of scribbles here and there, when the gas bottle emptied there was a note to call Fred the gardener, when we contacted Fred he said he hadn’t worked for the owner in years! Emails to the owner ( lives in USA ) regarding GPS co-ords for arrival location were not responded to as were others during our stay. 1 week after departure and we still don't have our security bond back.
BUT loved this house, would love to come again.
