Château de La Guerinchie

My extended family and I had a wonderful week staying at this property. It was very spacious but also really homely for our party of 10 and the grounds were perfect for our small children to run around in with lots of different areas to explore. Richard was a fantastic host, giving us lots of great recommendations for what to do in the local area and at the property itself (including a chef and some wine tasting at the property).

We had a very enjoyable time. The whole extended family of 11 aged from 74 to 18 months had a lovely week. The house suited us all, particularly the garden and pool. Excellent breakfast baguettes from just down the road and the food and wine that the Dordogne can provide.

12 of us stayed for a week, with 2 young children, we had a beautiful week that went far too quickly. The bedrooms are huge, the kitchen very well equipped for a French rental, views are fabulous from an elevated position, and seclusion and privacy are guaranteed. An excellent Lidl is less than 5 mins drive away, and the 2 fridges and dishwashers a real bonus. When working out the costings per head for 12 people, it is a good deal, to experience authentic French Chateau living, and an excellent vase for exploring the Dordogne.

Loved the house. We had 14 of us staying and plenty of room, all bedrooms ensuite. Great pool and kids had fun in the forest. Beautifully decorated and nicely equipped (felt like a proper home vs a rental, but no clutter). Went to Thiviers a few times for restaurants (10-15min walk to burn off the food!). St jean de Cole and Périgueux are nearby beautiful towns. Owners really helpful - thank you. Used their cook who was great. Found it via Sawday’s - always been nice places, as guess properly selected. Would love to go again.

La Château de la Guerinche is a beautiful, 17th Century French manor set in 15 acres of its own wooded grounds. It is wonderfully remote and tranquil, yet a ten minute walk to the bustling, traditional French town of Thiviers. You will love the large, luxurious French-style rooms; cosy fires; family-friendly kitchen; the airy spaciousness and many French windows leading into the gardens.

We had a wonderful stay. Thank you so much. The house is beautifully decorated and full of character. We stayed put of season but many of the days were warm, place less crowded and lots to do around the area (recommend the caves, st Jean de coles (restaurants), Brantome and Perigueux). Makes it so much easier that you can walk to Thiviers for supermarkets, croissants and if you don’t want to drive for dinner. Would love to come back.

The chateau was beautiful, the place was spotless and very well looked after, the outdoor views was amazing, local town, thiviers, was just 5 minutes away, would definitely book this chateau again,
