Family with grandparents
The accommodation is all on 1 level. 2 large double beds with 1 large modern interconnecting bathroom with large walk in shower. There is another bathroom with old roll top bath and a seperate shower. A large bedroom with 2 single beds and a sink. Being a family of 4 with 2 teenagers and my elderly parents the property catered for all of us easily. We all had enough toilets & showers. The south facing pool was cleaned and mainted daily and was a perfect 28 degrees with nice steps and a seat u could sit on in the water to cool down when weather was too hot. Outside was a bbq and nice sized table and chairs. Its a quite location and is wonderful for star gazing. Nearby town and Montpazier are worth a visit. Owners are thoughtful, polite and leave u to it. U feel like the place is ur own. Lots to see and do.

Fantastic gite
Very enjoyable week in a lovely secluded setting. Jim and Jo were very welcoming and had lots of good tips for trips and walks. The pool was superb and there were lots of toys and floats to use, and a great shady area beneath a fig tree. The beds were comfortable and mosquito nets are installed on the bedroom windows. Highly recommend.

The Pudneys stay at Gite Gardes
Such a lovely Gite in a beautifully idyllic location. Peace and quiet Nice clean heated pool Great BBQ Bedroom views of Monflaquin Only a few minutes away from the supermarket and boulangerie, and a few more minutes, and you're in the town. Monflanquin is charming with a good choice of restaurants, and shops, the market on a Thursday was great fun. One of our days out was canoeing on the Dordonge, which was AMAZING!! Highly recommended. Thank you Jim and Jo, we really enjoyed our (far too short) stay, we will be retuning. Steve, Rachel, Elizabeth, Katherine, Thomas and Bella

Lovely relaxing break!
We have thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks at Gite Garde. The relaxed atmosphere, friendly welcome and spotless gite make it easy to unwind. The pool is the perfect place to soak up the sun. Thank you to Jo and Jim for being great hosts - available when needed but never invasive and great company to share some wine with on a beautiful evening.

What a find
My family and I stayed for 1 week at the end of May 2022. On arrival we were welcomed by Jo & Jim ( cats & hen) they made us so welcome. They were on hand for recommendations like eating out and places to visit which we appreciated. Location was perfect for supermarkets, restaurants and pretty places to visit. We have such a relaxing week as the weather was better than expected for the time of year and really made use of the super swimming pool. We wouldn’t hesitate to return in the future.

Great Gite lovely Location
A deer ran across the track the first morning we went out exploring and that set the tone for a fabulous two weeks! We loved the gite and we loved the area. We were very lucky to have 2 weeks of sunshine in Oct, which enabled us to experience the many activities to do in the srea and enjoy the numerous beautiful villages. Thoroughly recommend thus gite and the lovely owners.

Beautiful, relaxing location.
Jim and Jo were perfect hosts and nothing was too much trouble. The property is a beautifully restored old stone barn with a contemporary and comfortable interior. The kitchen is well equipped for self catering. The outside areas are great: a north facing courtyard with views over the valley and Monflanquin, and a south facing patio with a lovely fig tree to sit in the shade of, and a good-sized pool to cool off in and play with the kids. There are also extensive grounds that we were free to explore. A car is essential and there’s not really much within easy walking distance (if you have small children as we do!) We would not hesitate to return.

Great Location, Great Gite, Great Pool
We stayed here with our two teenagers. It is the perfect location, the gite is tucked away down a long drive, has fantastic views of the nearby village on the hill, is surrounded by farmland and woodland. We loved sitting in the garden and just listening to the birds and wildlife. The pool is amazing, we spent hours in it, loads of toys and inflatables from the games room on hand to borrow. The games room also has a table football. Jim the owner comes over every morning to clean the pool so it is kept immaculate. The gite is perfect, you walk into a big open living/dining area with tiled floors, comfy sofas and TV/DVD player which opens into a lovely fully equipped kitchen with loads of storage. This opens to an outside dining area/garden with stunning views. There are three bedrooms, beautifully decorated and furnished and three bath/shower rooms. Everything is immaculate. Jim and Jo are so welcoming and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We hired bikes while we there and were able to cycle to the local village, although it was too much for a couple of us as it was really hot. We had a hire car and enjoyed visiting lots of pretty local villages and chateaus nearby. We also did canoeing down the River Dordogne which was an amazing experience although 14 km was definitely a bit too long for us! So overall a perfect holiday and we would definitely recommend it, and will definitely be going back

A wonderful haven of peace and tranquility
We booked a week with Jim and Jo at the last minute and from our first email conversations to the end of our stay we felt so welcome and at home. This wonderful home from home was perfect in every way - large spacious rooms, beautiful cool tiles if you wanted respite from the sun, comfortable beds, fabulous showers, magnificent views from the different outside sitting places and a wonderful pool to cool off in. Most of all we enjoyed the peace and tranquillity in this beautiful part of France - yet just a few minutes up the road is beautiful Monflanquin and all the amenities you need. Jim and Jo are the perfect hosts - warm, welcoming, friendly, on hand if you need them but discreet and respectful of your privacy too. We will definitely be returning very soon!

Il y a tout ce qu’il faut pour passer des vacances au calme et entouré d’une belle végétation. La piscine est parfaite et est nettoyée tous les matins par les propriétaires qui sont très gentils et discrets.

Toujours un plaisir de revenir au gîte Gardes
Nous sommes retournés cette année chez Jim et Joan, toujours aussi accueillants avec leurs hôtes. Ils savent se rendre disponibles lorsqu'on a besoin d'eux, et être discrets le reste du temps. Comme l'année dernière, on s'est regalé avec les oeufs frais de leur poule. Le gîte est fonctionnel et la piscine chauffée à 26° appréciable lorsque la météo est maussade. Nous nous sommes bien reposés et nos enfants s'y sont bien amusés. Un grand merci à Jim et Joan pour cet excellent séjour. Pierre, Nathalie, Elise et Manon

Perfect stay!
The location is great--in the country but very close to Monflanquin. Jim and Jo were helpful, responsive, and kind. Everything was clean and tidy upon arrival, and everyone was very careful respecting COVID-19 guidelines. Having the pool for the kids was perfect during the hot days, and being close to several interesting sites was great the rest of the time. Would definitely stay here again.

Un merveilleux séjour
Nous avons passé de trés bonnes vacances avec les enfants qui se sont beaucoup amusés dans la piscine. Elle est bien adaptée aux enfants de tous les âges (4 et 12 ans) et le fait qu'elle soit chauffée à 30°C a permis de se baigner tous les jours. Les photos sont fidèles à la réalité, le gite et les extérieurs sont propres et bien entretenus, tout est fonctionnel. Enfin, Jim and Jo (les propriétaires) sont trés gentils et discrets. Ils ont eté aux petits soins avec nous et nous nous sommes régalés avec les oeufs de leurs poules. Tout a éte parfait durant notre séjour.
