"The property is lovely, very clean and well equipped. The pool and garden area are great and were enjoyed by the whole family. The house worked really well for our family (and was very family friendly). The air con upstairs was very useful, and there were plenty of bathrooms. We wish we could have stayed longer!" August 2023
"Absolutely fantastic stay. Les Arbres is just wonderful. Helen and Colin have thought of everything. My family and I loved our visit. The house was perfect, the area is delightful and the pool has been great for cooling off!! We will certainly be coming again." July 2023
"A beautiful home in a fabulous location with a great pool. What more could one want? Thank you so much - we had a superb holiday!" July 2023
"5* A lovely relaxing week. The property is lovely, very clean and well equipped. The pool and garden area are great and were enjoyed by the whole family. The house worked really well for our family (and was very family friendly). The air con upstairs was very useful, and there were plenty of bathrooms. We wish we could have stayed longer!" July 2023
"This is a beautiful house in a beautiful location, on a big plot of land and good (saltwater) swimming pool. You are in quite an isolated hamlet, and there are no amenties here (apart from a bistro which was closed during our trip), so for fresh bread, shopping, eating out, etc, it's a 10 minute drive to the beautiful town of Eymet.
Kitchen was well stocked with some lovely welcome gifts and groceries (thanks so much for them, it made the first night so much easier!). If you are cooking, you've got everything you need ... literally, everything! Plenty of nice wine glasses, mugs, coffee machine, etc. Beds were good and comfortable with good linen. Bathrooms were walk-in showers (the best) and a bathtub, outdoor area for eating is large and the canopies a lifesaver from the sun! Washing machine a big help. Overall, just a lovely modernised house, with everything you'd need as a base, or as an escape for a while." July 2023
"We booked Helen's Gite for a group holiday and Helen could not have been more helpful, with recommendations locally, a late addition to our group and even a late check out. She really went the extra mile for us. The Gite itself blew us away and to to be honest the pictures just don't do it justice!
We would also really recommend anyone staying to visit the Naked Vineyard for a tour as recommended by Helen as we had a great time." June 2023
"We were lucky enough to stay at Les Arbes for a long weekend visit in October 2022. The venue itself is set in stunning surroundings and the house/accommodation is incredible. The beds are comfy, the house is well set up to be both intimate and communal (so you can spend time together or get some privacy) so a perfect choice for a get away with friends or family. Helen is also a fantastic host, replying quickly to any questions/requests and offering useful advice where needed." October 2022
"Great place for visiting area. Beautiful place clean and loads of room . Definitely would stay again." September 2022
"Perfect House, Perfect Holiday. We had a fantastic 2 weeks in this wonderful property. It is perfect for a big group (we were 2 families plus a grandparent) and has more than enough space. The house was spotless when we arrived and is generously equipped with everything you may need. The kitchen and bathrooms are all modern and well kept. The beds are really comfortable and the decor is tasteful and sensitive to the property. The garden is great, easy to find shady spots or bask in the sun. The pool is heated and was a very welcome relief from the heat. The lights in the garden at night are particularly lovely. Communication with the owners is swift and seamless, all queries were dealt with straight away. We very much hope to return." August 2022
"Beautiful property in a great location. We had a wonderful time at Les Arbres. The property is even more beautiful than the pictures on the website - the house is huge! All the bedrooms were lovely, with very modern bathrooms. The master particularly was stunning. Everything you could need was there, with lots of nice attention to detail. The pool and the gardens were stunning. I was worried about a salt water pool beforehand as had only ever swum in a chlorinated one - but wow - so much better!!! The kids loved it! (and I'm pleased to say that they didn't even spot the xbox!!) . The host Helen was fantastic throughout - even helping with suggestions of a mechanic when we had car trouble! Location was great - with a lovely bistro across the road and only a few mins drive to Eymet where there are loads of great restaurants. It's also an area where there is lots to do for kids within a 30 min drive, and of course, the odd bit of wine tasting for the grown ups ;) I would definitely recommend Les Arbres - I couldn't fault anything about it, just beautiful." August 2022
"I will start with saying that our party consisted of our daughter, her husband and their 1year old son, our son, his partner and their 9 month old daughter, my wife and I who are both retired. This was our first airbnb stay and our first summer vacation in France, but our son and daughter and their respective partners have stayed in airbnb's in many different countries. We all thought that the property and the facilities provided were excellent and our son and daughter both rated it as the best they have visited by a long way. The property has been renovated to a very high standard throughout and is a large farmhouse type building with a huge kitchen diner and a very large lounge. The dining table can easily seat ten people as can the table on the patio. The two upstairs bedrooms have been renovated and both have en suite facilities finished to a very high standard with quality materials. We were there during a period when daytime temperatures were in the high 30's/ low 40's so the air conditioning in these rooms was very welcome, there is photograph album on the sideboard in the lounge which records the renovation works carried out to date, which are described as "a work in progress", I think air conditioning in the downstairs rooms would be a most welcome addition for guests staying during the summer months. We made daily use of the large salt water swimming pool and sun terrace each day, making use of the large parasols to provide shade during the hottest part of the days and the pool building with its rattan suite and tables also gave some welcome respite from the very hot and sunny conditions, whilst still allowing us to be out in the open air. Once again the facilities provided outside are excellent, the garden is huge and has four large cantilever parasols, at least twelve sun loungers, a four burner barbeque, firepit, table tennis table, volley ball and badminton net and equipment, hammock, hammock swing, child's swing, seesaw and slide, the list is endless. I cannot rate this property highly enough, the hosts have in my opinion thought of everything that a family or families could want. Due to its rural location I would say that a car is essential if only to get supplies from the local supermarket in nearby Eymet. However just across the road from Les Arbres is Le Petite Bistrot which we did sample and the food was excellent, unfortunately their opening times didn't align well with our grandchildren's nap / bed times which was a real shame (maybe next time). I am sure this will not be our last visit to Les Arbres which is a property I would recommend to anyone looking for a quality property in which to relax and enjoy the good weather. I wish to end with my sincere thanks to the hosts Helen and Colin, who in addition to providing an excellent property were also very helpful and accommodating with some requests that I made relative to having the two young children with us (an additional cot, a child gate and an early check in), communication with them was quick and positive on each occasion." July 2022
"Helen’s villa is the perfect stay. Very spacious, clean and well stocked. The garden area is really impressive and the pool is great! Helen was a very helpful host who was very easy to get in touch with during our stay. I would highly recommend!" July 2022
"Wow - what a stunning home. Beautifully decorated, high spec and perfectly laid out for groups or families. Good sized, immaculate and very nice bedrooms and bathrooms and large entertaining spaces. The garden and pool are wonderful and so enjoyable to relax in - we didn’t want to leave the property during our stay as we loved it so much. The house is very well stocked and supplied. Helen has thought of everything you’d need, including for cooking and entertainment and there are lots of lovely personal and thoughtful touches. Helen is absolutely delightful - so communicative and really went above and beyond to make our stay special. A perfect host. Would also recommend the lovely little town of Eymet. 10/10 - a perfect stay. Highest recommendation." June 2022
"A beautiful, spacious property in stunning grounds. All the rooms were of a really good size and the facilities are all very modern and kitted out to a high standard.

Thank you for all of your hospitality and support." August 2021
"A wonderful stay in this very clean and very well maintained house. The cleaning work is meticulous and the house smells of freshness and you feel good there, a rarity in this type of rental. The house is very well equipped and comfortable with quality bedding. Magnificent large garden with multiple games, the Xbox for family fun, heated swimming pool treated with salt (so no inconvenience with chlorine) ... The house is located in a small, very quiet village. Helen and Colin are very welcoming hosts. Helen responds to messages with great responsiveness and is always available to help. To recommend without reservation." August 2021

A big thank you to the owners, who did everything to make our stay a pleasant one. To advise without hesitation !!! August 2020
"Beautiful property. Our stay at Les Arbres was very pleasant for our family of 10 people.

In addition, Helen and Colin are very welcoming and helpful hosts." August 2020
"Beautiful villa, great holiday. Fully equipped villa in a beautiful setting. Everything was there for a top holiday: beautiful swimming pool, table tennis, outdoor toys, beautiful rooms, bath towels, ... Communication with Helen went super smooth. You can contact her with the slightest problem or question! We stayed in the villa with 4 families. Because the villa is spacious and complete, every family could enjoy our family vacation. Highly recommended!" July 2020
"Nice house with great pool for children We enjoyed the beautiful house, with all the trimmings, the nice garden with many trees and therefore shady spots and the great swimming pool in which the youngest (1 and 3 years) enjoyed it so much. Impressive how everything was organized and how quickly communication took place. Recommended!" July 2020
"Fabulous holiday home in a peaceful location: We spent a glorious fortnight holidaying here enjoying this luxury home and pool. The location is both peaceful and private and there is a lot of space to relax in. The owners were forever helpful with any queries raised and very quick to respond. Even the children were complimentary re the speed of the broadband so we had no choice but to chill and relax. A perfect holiday and we look forward to returning soon." August 2019
"This house has everything. It is beautiful, luxurious and in a lovely location. A gorgeous house, well equipped and in a lovely location. The garden is also beautiful, so peaceful too. Thanks to Helen and Colin for making this a lovely holiday experience! We will definitely be back." August 2019
"Such a wonderful holiday: Les Arbres is the nicest property we have stayed in by far. We were a group of 7 ranging from age 7 to 81 and there was plenty of space for everyone to do there own thing. The children loved the pool and playing on the rope swing and we all enjoyed exploring the nearby towns of Eymet and Issigeac. The house has been beautifully renovated and the owners have thought of everything, fabulous kitchen with a wonderful welcome pack, plenty of games, books and DVD’s and they even have even provided lots of plug adaptors. We had such a relaxing two weeks and will certainly be back!" July 2019
"Rarely have we experienced such high standards in the holiday rental. Superbly equipped - perfect! This property was perfect for our extended family needs. With three generations sharing the accommodation there was something for everyone. Well- stocked toy cupboard, table tennis, darts and a wonderful heated pool. Contemporary bathrooms offered a plentiful supply of body lotion etc and lovely open living spaces for the family to spread out. Superb!" July 2019
"Excellent choice: Well equipped house on edge of hamlet. Very peaceful and bucolic. Nice pool, enjoyed the croquet." July 2019
"Take me back to that pool! As the photos suggest this property is extremely stylish and well equipped. We were a group of two families with three children under three and the amount of space here was great. The rooms are all big and there are loads of bathrooms. The garden is especially nice with lots of trees/umbrellas for shade, kids slide and swing, plus as the photos suggest, an amazing pool (the shallow step at one end of the pool was an especially big hit for the kids to splash around on). There was also a big chest full of garden games and some great pool toys. Owners Helen and Colin were extremely helpful and quick to reply to our questions. Their housekeeper Jean also cooked us a lovely meal on one evening - definitely recommended. The village where the house is located is very quaint, but also very small. If you want to walk out of your holiday home in to a bustling town, then this isn't the location for you, but for peace and tranquility it is lovely. The Petit Cafe in the village is practically opposite the house - David the owner will pick you up a bespoke bread order in the morning on his way to open up, plus his cakes are amazing. I have knocked a star off the locations rating because the only disadvantage of this house is that it's not very close to the Dordogne. If you want the classic wild-swimming / canoeing experience in the river then you will need to drive for 45-60mins to get there. Other than that it is hard to fault this property. We had a great time." June 2019
"Who would have believed that hiding behind blue shutters and house sitting right on the street would be a fabulous house. Wonderfully equipped with large garden pool and everything else required for a family holiday. We were 3 single women who luxuriated in a bedroom and bathroom each. The village is small and quiet however Eymet a medieval bastide town is 5 minutes drive with boulangerie and supermarket cafes restaurants and Thursday markets. The owners made the place welcoming with lots of information provided. We stayed 2 weeks with a house clean provided mid stay. Fabulous to stay at home easy to visit all the wonderful attractions of the area." May 2019
"A house with all the comforts to spend a fantastic holiday. The pool and games, especially the ping pong table, are perfect. A beautiful area to visit and thankfully the pool was there to refresh us! The owners are great and always ready to answer our requests. We had a wonderful holiday in this house. An address to remember!" August 2018
"The house is nicely renovated, well equipped (even for little ones: high chair/cot). Nice garden with a big swimming pool, BBQ and table tennis. Beautiful castles to visit in the area (Monbazillac, Bridoire etc). In short, we had an excellent stay (2 families with children)." August 2018
"Our stay has been wonderful. You really make your guests feel welcome with the many small details. Truly a 5* house." July 2018
"Beautiful, cosy and super pool. Tastefully decorated. Best home in many years. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Kitchen very complete. Very spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Top!" July 2018
