Having waiting 4 years to visit (due to covid) the Castanet did not disappoint. It was spacious, clean, very comfortable and had everything you needed to make it a home from home experience. It was as it was described/pictures, but in our opinion it went above and beyond what we were expecting. The bedrooms had plenty of storage and were well maintained. Beds were comfortable as well. Bathrooms were fine as well, both bathrooms having baths, which was great. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need as well, inc dishwasher and washing machine. The outside was pretty, well maintained and relaxed. Plenty of sun loungers and seating areas. The pool was fabulous and very welcomed in the heat we had. Vicky (English contact for the property) was fabulous. She greeted us on arrival, and showed us around the property and was on hand if we needed anything. Vicky came to check the pool throughout our stay to ensure it was clean. She also provided fresh towels/bed linen half way through our stay as well as recommending local markets/places to visit. We had a very relaxed holiday, the surroundings were just fabulous and we loved every moment of it. We are a family of 3 and we would highly recommended this place and the owners who have been most helpful throughout.
We returned to Castanet for the 4th time in early June and had a wonderfully relaxing couple of weeks. The addition of the abri since our last visit was a welcome retreat in the heat as was the pool … floating around and simply relaxing. We have always enjoyed our stays and have booked a three week holiday for 2025! It’s so very peaceful and not far from many interesting places. This time we visited Bordeaux (took the train from Marmande) and went back to Bergerac as well as venturing further afield with an overnight stay in Oradour sur Glane and visit to Limoges. The other addition was Merlot the cat … friendliest cat I have ever met and we missed him after we had left! Looking forward to seeing him again in 2025.
Dear Christine, I just wanted to say that Stuart and I had a wonderful relaxing week at Castanet. Though the weather was cool and a wet for the first few days it did not detract from our enjoyment………we just relaxed! However the last few days were beautiful – we did a bit of exploring and also managed to fit in a swim on our last day. Lovely! The whole trip was a total surprise to me, and a brilliant one at that. Thank you so much for the bottle of champagne, which we thoroughly enjoyed!! Best wishes, Anne
The amount of space at Castanet is amazing. We have 2 young energetic boys who had the best holiday. There were plenty of things to keep us all busy from table tennis, rounders, boules and badminton. The pool it's a great size and a nice temperature in the hot weather. The house was well equipped and spacious. The beams and character throughout are lovely and the high ceilings meant rooms didn't get too hot. The house is a good location being close to Bergerac airport and we had a number of nice trips out to Issigeac market, Marmande, Duras and a bike ride (hiring for us all) along the canal from Pont des Sables which was beautiful. Christine was helpful through the booking process and Vicky was really helpful and responded quickly while we were there. Our recommendations for staying is to take plenty of bug spray, and to make the most of local restaurants for lunch which were delicious and great value (approx €15 for 3 courses)
