Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Perfect host- charming gites
Malcolm really was the perfect host- nothing was too much to ask for. The gites itself was charming and had all you’d need. The garden was large with a trampoline, slide, swings, football. The children just played there as long as they could. You need a car to be able to explore the area. There’s an Aldi, intermarche and Lidl not too far. The fridge freezer is a large LG one which was perfect for our large family. Thank you Malcolm for a perfect stay!

Perfect!
This place was perfect for us. We were going to a wedding down the road so the location was great. Malcom was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed for the week. Unexpectedly this place was great for our 1 year old. He had toys for him to play with and therr was a stair gate. Great outside space for eating breakfast. Malcolm was a great host and very friendly.so friendly that he joined us for a glass of wine. I highly recommend this lovely gite!

Had everything we needed and more...
A great place to stay and an ideal base to visit all the surrounding pretty villages. The garden is HUGE and the pool was a favourite for the kids. Lots of toys and inflatables for children, as well as trampoline, swing etc in the garden. The house was lovely. Again, bigger than expected, with a really nice eating area outside. It is in a very quiet, rural location. Perfect if you want to get away from it all :)

Ideal base for a look round the Dordogne
We came out for a wedding and decided on La Porcherie - great decision! We loved the cosy layout and found the amenities inside the gite to be excellent. Everything was very clean and we found it to be ideal for our needs. decent size kitchen, with everything you need, cosy wee lounge and the dining room is nice and airy. There is a lovely pool area and other activities. We particularly loved the boules pit and played several nights! We loved the .................. silence and often commented on how peaceful it was. Malcolm and Jaqui are a very friendly and helpful couple who are keen to help you to enjoy your stay. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending La Porcherie to family and friends and also for us to stay again.

A lovely place to stay
A large house set in a small hamlet. The pool was great for the kids to burn off some energy. Ask Malcolm for some bikes and explore the local villages & cafes. Nearby towns had plenty of shops for supplies. A short drive took us to river beaches, lakes, churches built into caverns, crazy golf, kayaking. Alternatively, with a TV, Wi-Fi and a great kitchen there was plenty of facilities if you wanted to stay in the shade.

Very well equipped, comfortable and stylish holiday let in beautiful surroundings
We had a fantastic holiday here with our two children (age 6 and 9) - the house was really comfortable and stylish with a great big garden for the kids to run around in. We had beautiful sunny weather so the swimming pool was wonderful (with lockable gate) and a great way to cool down after a day out. Jaqui and Malcolm are on hand for any queries and have detailed knowledge of the surrounding area and local amenities. There is lots to do in the surrounding area including a river beach very near by and opportunities for kayaking and swimming. IThere are villages near by for evenings and lunches out. I would highly recommend this holiday.

Map
About the neighbourhood
Chauffour is located approximately 3kms in the villages of St. Severin and Allemans where you can find bakeries, bars, post office, supermarket and lots more. You can walk or cycle from the doorstep on peaceful roads or follow the Circuit of Roman Churches from Allemans and beyond. If you enjoy walking then the river is about 1km away where there is a weir and a lovely place to have a picnic or you can hire a canoe from Riberac or Aubeterre and meander your way along the River Dronne. Aubeterre is officially one of the prettiest villages in France and hosts lots of lovely restaurants and cafes to soak up the French ambiance. Aubeterre has a river beach where you can set up your chair next to the river and enjoy a good book. There are also beaches at St. Aulaye where there is also tree walking and waterslides. The beautiful Lake Jemaye also has a lovely beach and watersports and is a haven for wildlife. Enjoy a walk through the shady woods or just relax at one of the lakeside cafes. The old water mill at Poltrot has tree walking for all ages and a free course for toddlers. There is a lovely café and Poltrot also holds local evening produce markets a couple of times during the summer where you can buy and cook your own food and enjoy the lovely atmosphere. There is normally an open-air cinema on these evenings too. Many of the local villages also hold similar markets and evening art markets and weekly Sunday antique and 'empty your loft' markets which are great to browse around. There is normally fresh bread and local produce on sale too.
Getting around
Car required or hire some bikes that can be delivered and collected from Chauffour.
Access

How to get there
Driving is very easy and even in high season isn't anything like driving in England. The ferry ports of Calais is about 8 hours away and Caen and St. Malo about 6/7 hours. The closest airports are 1/2 hours away with Bergerac being the closest followed by Limoges, Bordeaux, La Rochelle and Brive. If you would like to arrive by train or plane for a short break - we are happy to offer a pickup service from the airports or train station - please ask for tariffs. We do recommend a car so you can explore this lovely region
