Thoughtfully prepared

Included in
your time away.

The essentials for settling into your own Dordogne home.

A home exclusively yours

The whole house, guest gardens and outdoor dining spaces, with a private seasonal pool.

Linen, towels & a fresh start

Bed linen, bath and pool towels, and normal end-of-stay cleaning are included.

Everyday comforts

Kitchen and laundry facilities, Wi-Fi, and electricity and water under the rental’s fair-use terms.

Comfort through the summer

Air conditioning in the lounge, fans in the bedrooms, and places to sit in the sun or shade.

Outdoors & exploring

Private parking and complimentary bicycles with helmets, lights and security chains. Ask which sizes suit your group.

A little help for families

A cot and high chair are available free of charge by arrangement. Please request them at least 7 days before arrival.

Please leave the house reasonably tidy. Exceptional cleaning, staining, damage or misuse beyond normal holiday use may lead to a documented charge under the rental terms.

From first plans to a confirmed stay

Four simple
steps.

The booking system handles your request; Tony and Niki remain your direct contact.

  1. Choose your dates

    Select an available stay of up to 14 nights and enter your whole party. For a longer stay, message Tony and Niki; an enquiry for more than two weeks does not block the calendar.

  2. Read the full quote

    Review the rental price, extra guests, tourist tax, any optional charges and the applicable terms. The full calculated total is shown before you send your request.

  3. Send your request

    Send your request. The dates are held while Tony and Niki review it; they reply within 24 hours. Sending a request is not acceptance.

  4. Receive confirmation

    After acceptance, both signatures must be completed within 24 hours. You then have 24 hours for the required payment to reach the owners. These three stages can hold the dates for up to 72 hours from submission. A completed agreement and cleared payment confirm the booking; a missed deadline releases the dates.

Your booking messages show the exact signing and payment deadlines. Bank-transfer instructions follow completion of both signatures. A request alone is not a confirmed booking.

Clear before you commit

Payment &
booking terms.

Our published standard terms are summarised below. Read the quote and rental conditions for your specific stay before sending a request; contact us if any detail differs or needs explaining.

When booking more than 30 days before arrival

  1. 35%

    On confirmation

    Due within 24 hours after both signatures are complete. Your booking messages give the exact deadline.

  2. 65%

    30 days before arrival

    The remaining balance becomes due.

Booking within 30 days of arrival? The full amount is due on confirmation. Check the exact due dates on your quote.

Cancellation & date changes

  • At least 21 days before arrival: 50% of paid prepayments is refundable.
  • Later cancellation: no refund under the standard cancellation policy.
  • Requests to change confirmed dates are considered individually, subject to availability, pricing and circumstances.

The refund percentage applies to prepayments already paid. Please consider suitable travel insurance.

Payment methods & deposit

Direct booking payments are made by bank transfer after Tony and Niki accept the request. Reservations made through an external booking platform use the payment methods shown by that platform.

No security deposit is currently required. The rental terms still apply to any damage or exceptional cleaning.

Ask about the terms

Before you arrive

Feel prepared.
Settle in privately.

We share directions and access instructions before your stay, so you can arrive and enjoy your own space. Let us know about family requirements, access needs or a likely late arrival.

Plan your journey

Your arrival day

The published stay pattern is 7-night Saturday-to-Saturday stays. Check-in is from 16:00; check-out is by 10:00. These times allow careful preparation between guests.

Pool & outdoor time

The private pool is seasonal and has a safety cover. Use depends on weather, maintenance and water conditions. Ask about your dates; please supervise children and keep glass outside the pool area.

A comfortable stay for your group

Tell us what would make your stay comfortable. Tony and Niki are happy to talk through the layout and your mobility needs before you book.

The house has entrance steps and three floors connected by stairs, so it is not wheelchair accessible.

We can also help with questions about bicycles or cot arrangements.

A peaceful place for everyone

Quiet hours are 22:00–07:00. The house welcomes respectful families, couples and friends. Pets, indoor smoking and disruptive parties are not permitted. Please discuss any celebration with us before booking.
