My wife and I enjoyed five delightful days on this grand estate, Les Charmes de Carlucet. The ambiance, both inside and out, dripped with Dordogne-style luxury while our hosts, the Edgars, created the easiness of a home-away-from-home atmosphere. This expansive, walled property is replete with all the amenities necessary for a country vacation (family or lonesome traveler) and is situated... More

Wonderful B&B, wonderful hosts, great breakfast. We stayed in the Lavande room - - just perfect for a family of 4. We did not get to try the pool (this was in May and still quite chilly) but the next time we go we will definitely take a dip! the hotel is close to Sarlat town which must not be... More

The buildings and grounds are beautiful and peaceful but handy to all the fabulous attractions of the Perigord region. Charming french host and english hostess. Eric has excellent knowledge of the area and his comprehensive advice on itineraries and destinations should be heeded to make the most of your stay. More

We spent a week here on the recommendation of a friend and were not disappointed. The rural setting is lovely. Eric and Helen are wonderful hosts who provided excellent advice on exploring the Dordogne. They also provided great advice on places to dine, place one would be unlikely to find on one's own, all charming and very French. The breakfast... More

Having stayed in a few chambres d'hotes on our trip to France at the end of September, we came across Les Charmes by chance (with a little help from Tripadvisor...). We were delighted to find that the B&B lived up to the rave reviews we had already read. Great location (you need Sat Nav to find it), super house, pool... More

An update to a previous review; we have returned (again!) to Les Charmes, but this time with friends, and to stay in the big gîte – Beaux Rêves. It is a superb place - immaculately maintained, big and spacious, yet really private. We really enjoyed spending time around the private pool. I am a keen cook and the big kitchen... More

Such a wonderful spot to be based whilst exploring the heart of the Dordogne and surrounding areas. Beautiful house, grounds and pool. Quiet and tranquil location yet near to all the best parts of the Dordogne. Eric was tirelessly helpful and very patient and friendly, which really made the holiday for us. All the recommendations he gave us were great... More

Eric and Helen were great hosts. They recommended and made bookings at local restaurants, which turned out to be excellent, and frequented by French people - always a good sign! An hour after arriving at Les Charmes, we were off to a local evening market, also a recommendation, where you choose and buy your food and drink from various stalls... More
