This is a good place if you want a base for exploring the area and have a car which you need to park. If you are planning just to visit Sarlat for a day or two try to find somewhere in town. The climb back is hard work and you would not really want to that after an evening out. It is quite difficult to find taxis for short trips. So it is not a very convenient place when they are not doing an evening meal - which is most of the time after mid September - and you don't want to drive to a restaurant.
We found the owners far from charming. They appeared to resent any inability to converse with them in French. That was despite the fact that they answered e-mails with lengthy ones in English. Might be better for them to indicate at that stage that they don't care to have to communicate in English. I know this is France and they speak French there but if hoteliers in Hungary and Croatia etc took that stance they wouldn't be too successful. If they want the business why not make some effort to communicate in the language that many of their guests will understand?
The grass round the pool on which many seats are placed is uncut and unkempt. Why? Too much effort? They lay the tables for breakfast by plonking down the plates and expecting you to sort them out yourselves. Would it be too much trouble to set them properly?
The room was nice, bed comfortable and place peaceful but we would rather have been somewhere else.
