This is the perfect place to relax and enjoy everything that the Dordogne has to offer. As I arrived, I was greeted warmly by Richard and Philippe and a wonderful roaring fire together with a delicious plate of hors d'oeuvres which preceded Richard's equally delicious meal of confit of duck, a selection of cheeses and a baileys tiramisu. Any thoughts... More

Our first trip to La Belle Demeure was such a success that we visited again 2 months later. This time the sun shone and we made the most of tea on the terrace watching the sun go down. Nothing is too much trouble for the fabulous owners, Richard & Philippe, not forgetting Casper the golden retriever. The accommodation is clean,... More

Just come back from our second fabulous stay at La Belle Demeure. Great location in a quiet village but within easy reach of the many sights of the Dordogne, warm personal welcome from Richard and Phillipe (and Casper, the golden retriever who won't retrieve anything) and absolutely wonderful cooking and selection of wines. It's spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Excellent... More

Our hosts could not have been more helpful, friendly and kind and made us all feel very much "at home". The meals were original, scrumptious and beautifully presented. Even when my sat-nav went "rogue" Richard helped sort it out and gave me written driving instructions "just in case". Had he not done so I would never have reached Limoges airport!... More

Our family have had 2 great weekend visits, September and October 2011 with different combinations of children (youngest 5) and grandparents. Both times, our hosts were exceptionally welcoming and helpful, and we would heartily recommend a stay. The accommodation is clean and comfortable, the rooms are very attractively furnished, and the evening 'table d'hote' meals really excellent. La Belle Demeure... More

September is an ideal time to visit the Dordogne and La Belle Demeure is an unbeatable choice. We spent our first week (ever) in France there and Phillipe and Richard were amazingly helpful. All the other reviewers speak the truth. St. Cybranet is so quiet we heard the owls at night and then church bells in the morning. Our bed... More

A wonderful welcoming 'house-party' atmosphere for guests (be they from France, UK or elsewhere) is provided by Richard and Philippe, ably supported by their lovely golden retriever Casper. There is so much to do, both locally and further afield, and the hosts are brilliant at providing information, leaflets and maps, also contacting the proposed tourist attraction to check opening times,...

We have stayed at La Belle Demeure five times. Our last visit was just two weeks ago. Richard & Philippe make you so welcome. The food is excellent and their attention to detail in everything they do for you makes for a perfect holiday. St Cybranet is in a lovely valley with many interests catered for including walking, cycling and... More

I stayed at La Belle Demeure for the best part of a week on a recent business trip to the area. I was bowled over by how fantastic the place is! There is an unmistakable aura of quality and professionalism and yet it still remains very homely and welcoming. This is to the sole credit of the hosts, Richard and... More
