A wonderful stay in an excellent gite – great facilities, immaculately presented & stunning views. Beautiful weather and such tranquility. Julie & Jeff are excellent hosts and ably assisted by chief welcomer… Ruben. Highly recommended!
What a welcome sight after a long motorbike journey! Only out classed by the welcome from Jeff & Julie and not forgetting Ruben. The gites are outstanding as is the location, with perfect views over the surrounding countryside. Really enjoyed chilling out beside the pool in fantastic weather. Many thanks for the great kindness shown to us by Jeff & Julie especially the trips to the supermarket and Perigueux. Being bikers themselves they are only too aware of the practicalities of carrying home the shopping. We will of course spread the word about La Treille and its fabulous owners.
Only here for a few days break but wish we cold stay longer. Lovely location with views hard to beat. The gite has everything you need and more. Jeff & Julie (and of course Ruben) have made this a special place to holiday. Thank you! x
The most beautiful and tranquil location I could ever have wished for. Gite absolutely perfect and a warm welcome.
Second year here!!! Just as beautiful. Hospitality and gite no change from last year… perfect! Thank you and see you again in the future.
Very spacious and comfortable gites, perfect for a relaxing holiday. We really enjoyed the games, especially the table tennis that I played for the first time. Hannah
I really enjoyed the games and the swimming pool. Rory
We all enjoyed canoeing, cycling and walking. Thank you for lending us the bikes. Thank you Jeff & Julie for being excellent hosts and Ruben for entertaining the kids with your amazing ability to fetch sticks no matter where they land.
I would like to thank Julie & Jeff and Rubens for making this a lovely holiday. The gites were very nice and had everthing I wanted. Thank you – Alexander (12).
Had a wonderful relaxing stay in beautiful peaceful surroundings and a lovely, clean & comfortable superb gite. Many thanks to Jeff & Julie for being so friendly and welcoming. Jeff even supplied polish to return the motorbike to its shining self!
This is a lovely place to stay with lots to see and do if you want to or to totally chill out. We are going home very relaxed. We will definately recommend La Treille to friends, family and other members of vrccuk bike club.
Last mention goes to Ruben – shame he won’t fit in our panniers!
Thanks a lot xxx
We have enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing holiday at La Treille. This really is a little piece of heaven, so peaceful and picturesque. The gite was just perfect for us – light and airy and very well equipped. A real ‘home from home’.
We have enjoyed discovering this corner of France. We especially enjoyed Brantome. Equally we have loved just relaxing by the pool and playing table tennis.
We really did appreciate the food you welcomed us with. I don’t know what we would have done on a Sunday evening when we arived without your thoughtful picnic!
Thanks also for letting us use your beach towels!
We return to England totally de-stressed after our lovely relaxing holiday.
Many many thanks Julie & Jeff and best wishes!
We have ‘Gited’ in many parts of France over the years. La Treille is by far and beyond the best. You name it, be it the hosts Julie & Jeff, the gite itself or the views and area all superb. Not forgetting our playmate Ruben. We have had an excellent 2 weeks, we came to chill out and relax and this we have done. Thanks for everything Julie & Jeff for your welcome. Hope to see you again with more of our family. Sincere thanks!

Thank you for a wonderful 2 weeks. We have really enjoyed our time at La Treille. We have also appreciated all the little extras you have provided such as taking us shopping and down to Tocane for a meal. Being able to borrow the bikes has been a real advantage. Thanks a lot!
A wonderful location and the perfect place to relax!
This was our first ‘proper’ holiday in 29 years with no children accompanying us and we couldn’t have chosen a better place to enjoy each other’s company and everything that the region has to offer. We go home totally chilled! Special thanks to Julie & Jeff for being such thoughtful hosts. Thanks for a great holiday – we’ll definitely be back!
Thank you Jeff & Julie for a wonderful, relaxing break. We have such busy lives at home and we really enjoy living life at a slower pace, with time to appreciate each others compaby. Despite the beautiful countryside, we haven’t travelled too far during our stay, preferring to enjoy the pool and pool table and the other more local attractions. Thanks for all your help over the last two weeks. We’d love to come back sometime.
We have had a fantastic couple of weeks (mainly relaxing) and really appreciate the location, lovely gite and Jeff & Julie’s hospitality, help and ideas. Would love to come again both to unwind and to start to explore this wonderful region. Best wishes.
Fantastic setting, truly idylic – an amazing place to escape from city life and relax. Jeff & Julie are extremely welcoming and helpful; they made us feel instantly at home. We would recommend Le Griffons Restaurant in Bourdeilles – top quality. Also canoeing in Renamon was excellent although make sure you book ahead to avoid disappointment!
We had a fabulous time and we’ll be back!!
Thank you Jeff, Julie & Rubens for a great week. Weather has been perfect as has our gite and surroundings. Difficult to imagine how it could be better. A real ‘home from home’ in this beautiful corner of the world. Canoeing is great fun and reasonably priced! Food has been great whenever we’ve eaten out and having Jeff & Julie on hand to point us in the right direction, make restaurant reservations and generally be great hosts has ensured a perfect, relaxing week. Which is exactly what we’d hoped to find. Thank you. xx
Oh and if you don’t enjoy walking you can get all the exercise right here… just ask Rubens!
We have just returned home after our second visit to La Treille (20th sept 09) . As last time it was worth the drive to this beautifull gite and surrounding area in the Dordoyne. Jeff and Julie as always made us very welcome and we took friends with us this time who were amazed at there efforts, Truly a first class 5* welcome and stay. If you have any idea,s about staying in this area La Treille is the place to be. Stunning area and so much to do you will not want it to end. Thanks again to you both and we will definaitly be coming back.
We liked the fantastic gite! The view from the terrace is great. We enjoyed the numerous walks we made. Thanks for the friendly welcome. We will certainly recommend your gites to our friends and family! We can’t mention anything negative (only maybe a rainy day:-)

After along first day in France where our preperation for a jaunt in a new country was ‘laissez-faire’ at best, only luck got us to the village of Montagier at 9pm where a young Vincent walked us down to the ‘La Treille restaurant’… Jeff & Julie came and rescued us! Then over the following days they ‘Brantomed & Angoulemed’ us and – and… Would like to think we could make it back some day. Thank you both – John
Many thanks Jeff & Julie for being so friendly and welcoming. We couldn’t have found a better place if we tried. We absolutely loved being here and spending time with you – you are special people. Who knows one day we might get back. The accommodation is fantastic. Many thanks for everything you did. Till we meet again – Gail.
Thank you very much, we had a really wonderful stay. The gite is very comfortable, just what we were looking for and we had a great time exploring the area. Will definately recommend it! Sarah & Conor
What more can we say. We agree with the sentiments of your previous guests. The harvesting of the corn into the dead of night was magic!!!
Many thanks Jeff & Julie and Ruben. Have a well deserved holiday & keep on blogging.
