Leave ReviewBeautiful property
By Hilary Tasker on 28-Jul-2025We had a really lovely week - Judah is a beautiful property with extensive grounds and a lake! The weather wasn’t the best but despite that we were able to travel around to markets, chateaux and marchés gourmonds. The pool is fantastic and easily the best we’ve had in many visits to the Dordogne - the children spent all the available time in the water.
Stunning location
By Liz Shropshire on 28-Jun-2025Judah is an absolutely beautiful house in the most stunning location. We have just had a wonderful week relaxing by the gorgeous pool, listening to the birdsong, spotting butterflies and other wildlife and exploring the local area. The bedrooms were all lovely with very comfortable beds and beautiful bed linen, and the kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed. Jessica was incredibly helpful and kind and did everything she could to make sure we had a lovely holiday. I miss my daily swim with the scent of lavender wafting by, what a special place this is.
Beautiful house
By Alice on 05-Jul-2025I really loved staying at Judah, it’s a beautiful house and it was such a relaxing time. The pool was lush, and sitting outside in the evenings was definitely a highlight…plus, there were no mosquitoes, which was great! Also the beds were very comfortable and it was such a peaceful setting. Very grateful!
Wonderful relaxing week
By Tim Sydney on 21-Jun-2025We spent a wonderful relaxing week at Judah. The cottage is well situated within a private country setting but still close to picturesque villages nearby. The property itself is lovely, lots of room but cosy, an outdoor terrace for leisurely meals overlooking a pond, and an absolutely stunning pool. Highly recommended for an idyllic relaxing escape!
Fabulous week
By Rachel on 31-Oct-2024We had a fabulous week at the stylish and well equipped Judah. Plenty of room for two families with lots of lovely extras such as a fire pit, bikes and sun loungers. We loved the pool, sun terrace and location - rural but still close to picturesque villages and all that the Dordogne has to offer. Thanks for a great week!
Wonderful stay in October
By Claire Thomas on 12-Oct-2024What a place to relax!! Views from the house are so peaceful and quiet - pool is a real asset to the property. The farmhouse is full of character and plenty of space for all to relax - both inside and outside. We were two families - 10 in total and felt there was plenty of space. The beds were particularly comfortable!! Enjoyed discovering the local towns and vineyards - with day trips to castle and gardens - the Via Ferrata at Jardin du Marqueyssac is very much recommended. Thank you Judah for a wonderful week.
