The Robinson Family
Thank you for our visit and everything you have done, we have been very pleased with everything. We have had a spectacular time watching the hot air balloons at sunrise and dawn. We loved playing in the pool it has been a really enjoyable summer here, so a very big thank you and we can't wait to come here with our grandparents again. We can't wait to come here next year.

Another wonderful week at Bellevue, this time we had all our family with us, the grandchildren were in their element, swimming, paddling in the Dordogne, and watching the hot air balloons. They saw 11 on our last evening! Thank you for your hospitality, it is always a pleasure to be in this beautiful part of the Dordogne.

Aiger Family
We have fallen in love all over again with the unique Tranquility and the beauty of Bellevue! Thank you for all your generous touches

Every day has felt magical. Thank you so much for allowing your home to be our base during an incredible 3 week holiday The children clearly loved the pool but also fully embraced the opportunity to explore this incredible region. From watching the balloons rise, to the crops being harvested, to the rolling hills change colours in the heat – Every day has felt magical.
Your personal hospitality and the warmth and love embedded within these walls – set the tone for our stay. We will certainly leave feeling rested and inspired by an amazing trip. Everyone has already asked to come back so we look forward to returning to Belvidere someday soon!

Wonderful house in an amazing location.
What a fantastic trip, based in a wonderful house in an amazing location. An opportunity to discover and explore parts of the Dordogne which we hadn't seen before. Helped by the in
house guides who, fortunately, selected Daglan, for dinner at La Petit Paris. What a charming village!
We leave refreshed by a relaxing stay in the wonderful weather and lovely company.

David
Another wonderful visit to Bellevue the perfect place for some much-needed R&R.
A week filled with sunshine, swimming and hot air balloons overhead!
Even an incredible storm didn't spoil the pleasure of being here.
Roll on August for return visit with all the family.

A truly magical week.
Thank you so much for a truly magical week incorporating a family holiday as well as the second leg of a Honeymoon!
Ballooning with Paul from Mongolfieres de Perigord was but one of the many highlights.
The view from the terrace was the best ...

B.
We never tire of the beautiful views from the terrace. A scorching hot week and the pool was much appreciated - especially by the grandchildren!
Thank you for the generous welcome pack, this house feels like home!

The G. Family
Great holiday.
Without a doubt the most comfortable and well equipped holiday rental we have ever stayed in, this place has everything!
Thank you for the ‘Welcome Pack’ and well stocked fridge, much appreciated.
Fabulous terrace, a highlight was watching the balloons rise out of the morning mist.

The K. Family
Stunning home
We came here to celebrate our Mum’s 60th Birthday, and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful location and accommodation.
Thank you so much for making this such a welcoming and stunning home base for our travels from South Australia.
The view from the balcony is unforgettable, and the house was so charming and comfortable with everything we needed for the 3 generations staying.

Jill W.B.
We loved Belle Vue. It is a beautiful, well kept home with a spectacular location. We were a group of five: grandmother, parents and two teenage children, and we all felt at home. The pool definitely added to the experience.

Sophie
Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday! We know the Dordogne but have not been back in years. This beautiful house exuded our expectations: beautiful interior, beautiful views and beautiful pool to cool off in after sightseeing. Thank you for the generous provisions. I left a can of walnut oil as a thank you gift. We managed to fit castles, canoes and dinner at L’Esplanade in Domme into this visit. On behalf of Sophie, who was born in France… Merci Beaucoup!

Family de Boer
A beautifully appointed villa with wonderful views in all directions. On a practical level, we enjoyed the generous provisions left for us, the fact that everything worked and close at hand, the fabulous pool! We can see why so many people would want to come back here, especially as there is so much to see and do locally. Our balloon adventure worked out splendidly for the three generations that took flight. A Bientot perhaps!

Stephanie
The views are phenomenal
We have had the most wonderful week here and are very sad to be leaving!
The views are phenomenal, it’s such a special place. The mist in the morning with the hot air balloons popping through is magic! We really appreciated all the was provided – the food and wine to make us feel so welcome. We hope to return!

Jill
Beautiful house, pool, view! We are really enjoying our visit here.

Wim
Beautifully appointed villa.

The Gates
Just stunning!
We waited 3 long years to visit this beautiful home due to Covid and, wow! Was it worth the wait! I walked onto the terrace and my eyes welled! Just stunning! That view is priceless! The hosts have thought of everything and it is truly a very amazing home from home.
The pool was unreal, the view was to die for. We loved it! Can’t wait to come back!

Shelley
Can’t wait for next time.
Thank you so much for allowing us the opportunity to have this time together. Covid delayed our plans but boy it was worth the wait! The proximity to everything has been fab, however the terrace and the pool area is where my fondest memories were made with my family. After a very difficult few years, this holiday has restored and rejuvenated me more than I ever expected. Can’t wait for next time.

Kevin and Pam
Many thanks for a truly memorable family holiday. Whether it was charting the unexplored reaches of the Dordogne by canoe, the delights of Sarlat by night or the history of Castelnaud we had a fantastic time.
The family time around the pool and on the terrace have given us many memorable moments for an all too rare family holiday!

Bill
A truly wonderful visit. Thank you so much.

David and Diana
Spectacular Views!
Even better than when we were here last – 18 years ago!
What a place for rest and relaxation and with spectacular views to soak in as well. A scorching hot week of constant 38-40C so the swimming pool was very much appreciated.
Needless to say we ate and drank very well.
Many, many thanks to the owner.

Richard and Lesley Lockwood
Highly Enjoyable Stay!
We were here 18 years ago and enjoyed it even more this time.
It got to 40C during the day, so the new air conditioning unit was particularly appreciated at night-time.
Very many thanks.

Sally Bell
A Beautiful Setting and a Fantastic Home!
Here for my 50th Birthday with 7 fantastic friends!
A beautiful setting and a fantastic home – I couldn’t have wished for more.
Highlights have been kayaking on the Dordogne and taking a gastronomic tour of the local area in a 2CV.
Everyone wants to come back, thanks to the hosts for their generosity in securing a happy start to my 50th.

The Scarrott Family
Wanted a wow place, and it certainly was!
Here for a delayed 60th birthday celebration with family. Wanted a wow place, and it certainly was! Beautiful house and pool in an amazing setting. Could enjoy the view all day.
So nice that there was a lovely welcome pack for us, and things like salt/pepper/oil which makes things so much easier.
Hot air balloon ride was a highlight – a surprise present from the younger members of the group! The pilot even managed to bring the balloon right past the house! Brilliant!
We all had an amazing time – even the 19month old grandchild!

Jane and Andy Wilson
What a fabulous place to stay.
The pool was a godsend in the heatwave the first week and sitting outside on the balcony late evenings was glorious.
Well equipped, well located and unbelievable views.
Thank you for a wonderful holiday – even if it did take 3 years to get here (thanks Covid!) it was worth the wait!

Jane and Andy Wilson

Belle Vue is Wonderful!
Impressive and yet cosy, comfortable house that enjoys the most spectacular views of the Dordogne Valley. We have stayed at Belle Vue a number of times and still long to return to soak up its magical, unique atmosphere. I have been to Belle Vue with my parents and in laws, in their 70’s, who still can’t get enough of the place! They adore the local cuisine, markets, activities and are totally at home within the house, be it during a hot summer or a chilly September visit. Belle Vue’s air conditioning is as efficient as its heating! Both excellent and ensure you are able to relax.
Last October half term I returned there with my two boys aged 4 and 7. They had never experienced anything as awesome as the local medieval castles, all of which are extremely educational, exciting and both adult and child friendly. We enjoyed a jam packed week with at least two excursions a day from castle tours to canoeing. We were all extremely grateful to arrive back to beautiful property each afternoon for a dip in the fantastic pool whilst we got our BBQ underway on the gargantuan terrace suspended above the valley and sometimes above the magical mist. The local shops (5 minutes drive) allowed us gastronomic breakfast pastry feasts from the boulangerie and the butcher bent over backwards to accommodate our needs. Essentially for us, Belle Vue is private, not overlooked and it is fully equipped with everything we needed, and more! We all particularly enjoyed the fantastic sound system when watching movies on the big screen in the living area and the bedroom window shutters that keep the rooms dark enough to induce the deepest sleep I have ever experienced. Heavenly!

What a fantastic stay!
This beautiful house certainly lives up to its name. The views are outstandingly breathtaking, stunning scenery, with a gorgeous terrace stretching the whole length of the house. We have had the most wonderful holiday with every comfort thought of. The pool was much enjoyed by all, followed in the evenings by delicious French wines, watching the hot air balloons cresting the mountains and enjoying the views of the valleys beneath.
Great fun was had at the markets, trying delicious foods and coming home laden with supper. We all had fun cooking our wares on the BBQ, followed by evening strolls along the pretty country lanes. We have had a wonderful holiday and would certainly recommend this fantastic House to our friends and family.

The Revd Jamie Taylor, Rector of Sonning-on-Thames
Belle Vue is quite simply a wonderful place for a holiday. The house is stunning, set at the top of a valley, with views of the Dordogne River and medieval châteaux’s in the distance. I understand from the owner that the house was once his family home and this permeates the atmosphere of the place.
It is a very relaxing and comfortable place to be. Equipped with everything you would expect in a holiday letting but it goes much further than that. It feels like a home, and a very tastefully furnished one at that. Between the owner, gardener and the housekeeper everything has been thought of and they all go out of their way to make the holiday special.
The bedrooms are very comfortable with a luxurious en-suite in the main bedroom. All in all it is just a brilliant place to spend a holiday and in the terms of the Sarlat area we have just been captivated and cannot recommend it highly enough.

Mr G Johnson
Our third time at Belle Vue.
We have now been fortunate enough the stay at Belle Vue on three occasions and each time it has proved the ideal base for both friends and family get together. The main attraction is of course the views that are beyond compare and weather permitting we always dined outdoors, enjoying leisurely breakfasts on the terrace, sunny barbeques at lunch around the pool and extended formal dining in the evening watching the hot air balloons drift past and enjoying the local vino by candlelight well in to the evening. Even if the weather turned uncooperative we were still left with elegant dining area to fall back on, and evenings seated in the sociable lounge which has a country house feel complete with traditional board games providing a nostalgic form of entertainment. The bedrooms are well appointed and provide ample space for 8 ‘party’ adults one occasion and family accommodation for the three generations of our family with sumptuous pool keeping the grand-children entertained for hours at a time.
A perfect location for lively parties or slow sleepy family gee aways. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

Mrs Billington
Belle Vue is a beautiful house in a fantastic location and offers everything that a holiday in the Dordogne requires. We have been there in the Winter, Spring and Summer it was perfect each time, close to the action but away from the Summer crowds. Great pool and sun terrace, perfect for watching the hot air balloons drift past in the evening. The views are unbelievable - cannot wait to go back.
