When we walked through the entrance of Les Grange Hautes in the Dordogne region of France I had the feeling of entering Shangri La. Granted, that whole area is stunning, but this b&b blended perfectly with its setting. The grounds are made up of an immaculate lawn, beautiful gardens, with plenty of seating, and a surprisingly big and tranquil pool. The rooms are part of the old, rustic stone house, yet like little cottages that are wonderfully restored and decorated- each with a unique style and theme. If there weren't so much good exploring to do throughout the region, we would have been just as content to make a vacation out of soaking in the environment of this lovely B&B. The owners, Beatrice and Jean-Yves couldn't be nicer, genuinely happy to welcome and provide for guests and answer questions.

Also, if you stay here, we highly recommend you take Beatrice's advice and eat at Cafe de la Place, in the village just a few minutes away- amazing menu, chef (Stephanie) and co-owner and host (Theirry).

Our stay at this wonderful bed and breakfast fulfilled all of our dreams of staying in an historic building in the french countryside.
Our hosts Jean-Yves and Beatrice Fauste were faultless in their
care of us (from New Zealand), even though we were three hours late in arriving, dinner was set and served under the trees in a beautiful setting. We were lucky to have the "Tuscany" room and en suite. Our walks across the countryside, visits to the market town of Sarlat for picnic ingredients to enjoy in the grounds of Les Granges Hautes. We feel privileged to have met and had our needs cared for by this lovely family. We would repeat this experience tomorrow if we could!!

We had a wonderful vacation at this hotel. We went there in June 2008 with my husband and 2 children (7 and 10). We stayed in the suite “Les Oiseaux”. We loved everything. The site is exceptional: a beautiful renovated farm in a manicured property with a superb pool. The rooms are beautifully decorated and the level of comfort is excellent. The service was impeccable in every aspect. The breakfast was excellent and we also had an exceptional dinner experience at the hotel. Beatrice and Jean-Yves are wonderful hosts who did everything to make our vacation a success. They had numerous and excellent recommendations about our visits during the day or where to have dinner at night. The location of the hotel (in the delightful village of Le Poujol) is extremely central to all the wonderful attractions of the region. Overall, our stay was just perfect. We highly recommend it and we can't wait to go back.

Les Granges Hautes is a very nice country inn in a convenient and beautiful location in the Perigord region of Acquitaine. The inn is a an old stone house that sits on several acres of lawn and gardens at the edge of a small village. Our adjoining rooms were tastefully decorated and were perfect for 2 adults and 2 children. There is a salt-water pool (no eye-stinging chlorine) that the kids loved.
Breakfast included fruit, several breads and pastries, homemade jams, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Several nights a week dinner is available at the inn, and the night we ate there it was excellent: warm foie gras with walnut oil and ginger, duck breast, and a fine panna cotta with a strawberry reduction sauce for dessert. There are also several very good restaurants within 10 km, and the location is convenient to activities such as visiting caves and castles and canoeing the Dordogne River. As we were there in August, most of the other guests were French, so we got to interact with "local" travelers instead of just other Americans, Brits, Germans, etc.
The owners, Beatrice and Jean-Yves, were very friendly and helpful, making dinner reservations and helping us get lined up for canoeing. In the off-season they are world travelers, so they are attuned to their guests' needs and were superb hosts.
