A perfect place to launch a tour of the Dordogne region. A unique B & B, delightfully decorated by Suzanne who with her husband Mike has made their home your home for however long you want to stay. Ferme de Tayac is close to all the major attractions and yet is set in a beautiful country environment.

Stayed here 5 nights while touring France with my wife. I must say it is the most quiet place I/ve ever stayed. I never heard a sound for 5 nights, and there were other guests. The most restful sleep ever...I must build a house with 2 foot thick walls. The Ferme de Tayac is perfectly positioned for touring the Dordogne, with most of the major attractions no more than 30 minutes away. We attended a village market day, went canoeing, enjoyed a long hike through forests and fields, and toured some beautiful villages and ancient sites. We also loved our English speaking hosts Mike and Suzanne...they looked after us very well. For the Dordogne region, this is the place to stay!!!!

Beautifully restored B & B with super swimming area, lovely garden and charming rooms. Breakfasts weren't very imaginative, somewhat lacking in choice. But nevertheless, a great stay.

Although it's not in a picturesque position (beside a railway line) this B & B has a lovely atmosphere, beautiful gardens and rooms. The house is full of antiques and vintage clothing which add to the whole experience. The pool was lovely and clean and there were many places to sit under trees or lie in the sun.

Unfortunately the service did not live up to the building. There was no kettle or cups in the room ( a small kettle was available in the garden which took ages to boil) nor a fridge. A shelf in a fridge was available in an out building. This made it really difficult to self cater at lunchtime and evenings which the owners encouraged us to do. All we had with us was a Swiss penknife to help us out and as there was a notice informing us that Ferme de Tayac was not a hotel we felt a request for crockery or cutlery would not be welcome.

Another major disappointment was breakfast. This simply consisted of a choice of cereals, one glass of orange juice and a cold supermarket bought croissant each with some slices of rustic bread along with a hard boiled egg which cooled over the hour. With three patisseries in the village the whole experience would have been greatly improved by a daily delivery of freshly baked croissants and pain au chocolat.

On one day the landlady was away for the day and it seemed to be beyond her partner's capabilities to even boil the egg or attempt to clean the room.

Having said that we did feel it was a special place to stay. Although we doubt we will return for a second stay, however if they upped the service we would reconsider that decision.

If you are thinking of going and are travelling by car rather than air, make sure you take a kettle and picnic set and you'll have a lovely time.
