    Owner Location Comment
    Tabary is in a sunny country setting 500m from Excideuil. Lovely walks straight from our doorstep into really beautiful countryside of rolling hills and valleys with fabulous views.
    The Perigord is famous for its beautiful countryside, walking, cycling and horse riding, pretty villages, hundreds of châteaux, prehistoric caves and good food. In easy reach of Tabary are many historic towns like Sarlat, Domme, Brantome, Perigueux, and some of the prettiest villages in France. Pompadour with its horse races and national stables are also nearby, so there is always lots to see! Golf five minutes drive. Adventure park and quad bikes are new additions to the list, and the local fetes are always value entertainment.
    Excideuil itself is a quaint market town with winding lanes, many historic buildings and a popular weekly market. Tourism is low key but well provided for with a multitude of local activities, events and sights. The department capital Perigueux is a fascinating cathedral city with large pedestrianised area in mediaeval streets, offering music (free jazz concerts in summer), mime, gastronomic book fair and many other events and entertainments. The whole area is becoming known as the unspoilt part of Dordogne, appreciated by people from many nations for its good food, lovely countryside and welcoming inhabitants.

    great base moss ireland Review Submitted: September 11, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
    lovely quiet location on large site but only 650 meters from supermarket and loads to do within 30 min drive. clean property with good layout and facilities, lovely walking and cycling routes immediately adjacent. We were a family of 2 adults and 3 older children and really enjoyed our stay here. The swimming pool is very large and the diving board was a great hit. There are also ping-pong tables and bikes available for use. Richard and Luisa helpfull with hints and tips. would recommend caves at Tourtoirac (15 mins drive), lake at Rouffiac (20 mins) for kneeboarding, wakeboarding etc, Perigueux (30 mins) for beautiful old town, Gallo-Roman museum and shopping, Carnac (10 mins) for canoeing on the Isle and velorail. Had a great break here and lots of thanks to Richard and Luisa.

    Brill hols! Phil Lancaster, UK Review Submitted: September 25, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
    We had a lovely holiday and are returning in 2011. The house was superb, the huge pool a real treat with a 7 year old, and our dog loved it as well. The grounds are spacious with lovely views. Richard and Luisa were excellent hosts, around and friendly but never 'in the way' of our family holiday. We're already looking forward to another three weeks here next summer!

    Owners Profile
    Richard and Luisa Friendly hosts on site since 1992

    Hi! We came here in 1992 with all the family and have been running our two holiday houses ever since. We love meeting our guests and making sure you all have as good a time as is possible - which is easy in this glorious part of France. Our children are now all adult but they all come back here for holidays.
    We live here permanently and are always available for help or advice or translations and we can even help you find a house to buy as we both work with our local estate agent. However we are never "in your hair" and guarantee you a private holiday in our wonderful Domaine.
