Guest Reviews

  • We were a family of 4 with plenty to enjoy in and around Sergeac. Our son was in love with the pool and the gardens, he especially loved the little bird figures and spotting lizards. The easy access to the river was lovely and we spent a few afternoons spotting fish and kingfishers. Bruce and Claire-Louise were so hospitable and full of great tips on places to visit and good walks. Their recommendation of Le Petit Leon was absolutely wonderful, it was one of the best restaurants we've been to. We went for dinner and lunch, they were exceptional with our 5 year old son. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

  • We had a fantastic two week stay in this beautiful part of France. Claire-Louise and Bruce are very friendly, knowledgeable hosts who made sure we were well looked after. The gîte is very well-appointed and comfortable. It's the perfect location for exploring the Vézère and the Dordogne. Highlights were canoeing down the Vézère, past Lou Mitan and finishing with an ice-cream at St-Léon, trying out life as a Cro-Magnon family at Castel Merle just up the road in Sergeac, the treasure hunt at Château De Losse, market day at Montignac and then a little further afield the caves at Padirac. Thank you Claire-Louise and Bruce, especially for the extra fans when the temperature got a little higher than usual! Matt, Nicola and family. August 2023.

  • Claire-Louise and Bruce were so friendly and welcoming. The guidebook that was in the house was really useful, with some great tips. The house was really beautiful and just a short drive from St. Leon and Montignac. The swimming pool made the holiday even more special…so warm and beautifully clean. They were superb hosts and left us some lovely gifts to welcome us. I am sure we will be back in the future. Many thanks 😊

  • We chose to return to L'enclos for the second year running for many reasons. Although not as scorching hot as last year, we were able to use our private pool almost every day. We were also able to further explore this beautiful part of France. We were helped in this, as well as choosing markets and restaurants by our wonderful hosts Bruce and Claire-Louise. We are looking forward to our next trip already

  • We had a wonderful week in Sergeac, there is so much to do without leaving even the property - swimming, tennis, table tennis, boules etc and the gardens are gorgeous. When we did drag ourselves away, the surrounding towns and villages are beautiful as well! Canoeing was a lot of fun and Montignac was a highlight. Claire-Louise and Bruce were friendly and helpful and welcomed us with homemade jam, wine and plums from the garden. Thank you! There is another gîte next door but privacy wasn’t an issue. We loved our stay here!

  • We had the most wonderful holiday at L'Enclos. Claire- Louise and Bruce were the perfect hosts offering compete privacy, but were accessible and responsive if needed. The flowers, bottle of wine and jar of home made apricot jam ready for our first morning croissants were a kind touch! They went above and beyond when they organised an outside cinema evening as a surprise for the children, complete with ice cream and wine for mum and dad. A wonderful memory for us to take home. The gite was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The beds were comfy and there are fans for the warmer nights. We were very comfortable. The gite has a private garden and is wonderfully situated up above the Vezere. The pool is generous, warm and private. It was wonderful to hear people canoeing below - the laughter was often infectious! There are some beautiful wooded trails for walking/running. The village is peaceful and walking distance to Saint Leon sur Vezere where there are restaurants, craft and art shops and some lovely ice cream! There are night markets every evening of the week in local villages - worth taking knives and forks with you ... and cash rather than card. We loved St Amand de Coly in particular. Thank you both for the most relaxing holiday we have had in a long time. We hope to see you again!

  • We had a truly wonderful stay at L’Enclos and honestly can’t recommend it highly enough! The gite and gardens were beautiful and spacious, and we loved our daily swim in the pristine saltwater pool. The surroundings were stunning, and it was the perfect location to explore the Dordogne. Bruce and Claire-Louise were so friendly and welcoming, and greeted us warmly with treats from the local area. Their recommendations for what to do and where to go were spot on. We would love to return soon!

  • I would highly recommend to anyone. Claire and Bruce are fantastic hosts. The property is amazing, spotlessly clean, spacious with an amazing pool. There is lots to do in the area and Claire and Bruce gave us some great recommendations. All in all a great experience. Thank you both so much for a holiday we will remember fondly.

    Mischa June 2023 Lou Mitan Booked Via Airbnb

  • What a beautiful place. So much to see and do, all within a few km. SO peaceful. Superb restaurants , beautiful villages and towns...we loved our time here. Claire and Bruce were superb hosts. Let us check in early, gave lots of suggestions and there was a really informative booklet to refer to, with lots of recommendations...we tried many of them and were not disappointed. Gite was clean, attractive and well resourced. Nice having British TV. Lovely touch with the bottle of wine, walnuts and jam, thank you. We would DEF stay again if we were in the area. Thank you for a lovely time.

    Julie June 2023 Lou Mitan Booked Via Airbnb

  • Wonderful apartment in a paradisiacal, quiet and historic area with nice terrace, garden and pool, good information about the area and particularly welcoming, helpful hosts Bruce and Claire-Louise. We have enjoyed it!

    Dre May 2023 Lo Gorro Booked Via Airbnb

  • FORMIDABLE ! Nous avons adoré séjourner chez Claire Louise et Bruce. La maison est magnifique, avec un grand extérieur privé et une piscine immense également privée. Il y a tout le confort nécessaire et la maison est très spacieuse nous étions 5. La région est magnifique et les restaurants sont vraiment extras, avec un coup de coeur pour l"auberge de la poste à St Léon. Un petit détail pensez à amener du sel, de l'huile.... et des produits de toilette (je pense que c'est dans les habitudes des gîtes et moins fréquent sur airbnb). A part ce détail il n'y a que du positif. Nous recommandons chaleureusement.

    Lorenzo May 2023 Lo Gorro Booked Via Airbnb

  • Very nice place to stay in a beautiful location. Spacious living room.

    Benoit April 2023 Lo Gorro Booked Via Airbnb

  • Excellent séjour dans ce lieu. Claire-Louise et Bruce sont des hôtes adorables. La maison est fonctionnelle, bien décorée et avec une literie impeccable. Le lieu est magique, très calme dans un petit village typique de la Dordogne, à deux pas de la Vézère. Bref, un super séjour !!!

    Yvon May 2023 Lou Mitan Booked Via Airbnb

  • Claire-Louise et Bruce ont été très disponibles, leur gîte est idéalement situé au cœur d'un joli village de caractère !

    Claire April 2023 Lou Mitan Booked Via Airbnb

  • Relaxation Personified - Lou Mitan was absolutely ideal in every way for a totally relaxing break from everyday life back home. Perfectly isolated in a beautifully historic village perched on the Vezere, with all amenities we required within easy reach. In addition we were superbly greeted treated by our marvellous hosts Claire-Louise and Bruce. Highly recommended .

    Alan M August 2022 Lou Mitan Booked Via VRBO

  • Propriété magnifique Le lieu et la propriété sont exceptionnellement beaux, Bruce et Claire-Louise accueillants et réactifs pour toutes questions. Le gîte est bien équipé mais il y a, quand même, besoin d’un peu de travail et modernisation.

    Matthew K June 2022 Lou Mitan Booked Via VRBO

  • Super séjour Des hôtes très sympathiques, discrets et toujours à l'écoute! Propreté du gîte irréprochable, tout est bien pensé, la piscine au top! Nous reviendrons !!!

    Veronique F May 2022 Lou Mitan Booked Via VRBO

  • Excellent accueil pour un logement agréable dans un coin très sympathique

    Natasha May 2022 Lo Gorro Booked Via Airbnb

  • Really nice location. Quiet and beautiful garden. Really close to the river. Privacy although a different gite is existing in the same property. The pool was perfect to relax. Big kitchen to cook with everything you need. We all slept really well. The hosts were available and helped us when needed. I recommend.

    Georges May 2022 Lo Gorro Booked Via Airbnb

  • Claire-Louise and Bruces’ place is excellent. It is well maintained, clean and spacious. The private pool in July was a favourite. The nearby restaurants (the petit leon was amazing) and activities (horse back riding, canoe trip and the caves) were all easily accessible and enjoyable. We had a wonderful stay, and would 100 percent stay again!

    Harneil July 2022 Lou Mitan Booked Via Airbnb

  • Merci à Bruce et à Claire-Louise pour avoir mis ce douillet cottage à notre disposition. Nous étions avec un bébé et la maison était vraiment bien équipée pour nous accueillir.

    Audrey-Lena November 2021 Lou Mitan Booked Via Airbnb

  • We had a lovely week hosted by charming hosts: discreet but present if needed , always smiling and kindness on your face. The cottage is impeccable, spacious and well supplied with dishes and cooking utensils. Very nice terrace and garden, private pool for the cottage. Impeccable bedding. Free access to village tennis. Ideal location for hundreds of walks and for all visits to the "Man's Valley" (Lascaux ...) Ravis!

    Marie-Pierre November 2021 Lou Mitan Booked Via Airbnb

  • Fantastically located accommodation on the edge of the Vezére, very nice and extremely friendly landlord. An idyll to relax and unwind. We will be happy to come back.

    Andrea October 2021 Lou Mitan Booked Via Airbnb

  • Beautiful gite, large kitchen and livingroom with everything you need. A bottle of rose wine and home made jam made us feel very welcome!Unfortunately the weather was to bad to use the pool. The garden and outside are perfect to relax in the sun. Bruce and Claire-Louise were really nice and gave us useful info about what to do in the area with 2 small children. I would recommend everyone to stay in this beautiful spot!

    Jasmien November 2021 Lo Gorro Booked Via Airbnb

  • I booked the whole place for a 3 night birthday weekend in October and we all stayed a further night on the Sunday as we were having such a good time! Bruce and Claire-Louise made the whole weekend so very special and so memorable. The gites are so comfortable, and sit proudly in lovely gardens overlooking the river. There's such a variety of things to do even in the autumn months. We swam, canoe'd, cave'd, castle'd, shopped, sat, drank, walked, chatted, tennis'd, slept, cooked and relaxed. We were very sad to leave. Merci xx

  • Magnifique! L'emplacement du gîte, l'accueil, la maison est très chaleureuse, le jardin et les jeux pour les enfants, bref c'était idéal pour nous. Je reviendrai sans hésiter et je recommande fortement ! Très belle propriété, très calme, dans une région magnifique.Merci à vous

    Valerie & Elizabeth October 2021 Lou Mitan Booked Via Airbnb

  • A truly amazing place, fantastic for families, or friends or a birthday event or simply as a couple, set in a beautiful garden with 2 pools and superbly appointed. Run by a lovely couple full of wonderful recommendations of things to do and places to go. We were blown away by the gite which is an old old house and beautifully restored. As well as blown away by the area. Will definitely go there again, lots more to see!

    Evelyn & Charles October 2021 L’Enclos Booked Direct

  • My family and I had a very pleasant 10-day stay at Claire-Louise and Bruce's place in September and highly recommend it. The gite is perfectly located to fully enjoy everything the Perigord Noir has to offer and is rarely more than a 45min drive for a daily outing. Sarlat and Lascaux caves are a mere 20/30min drive and there is plently to see within a 20min radius (Rouffignac caves and La Roque St Cristophe for ex.). The gite itself is part of a beautiful estate in a tiny village with old buildings made of thick stone walls and offers a large swimming pool surrounded by a garden in a quiet place. It is fully equipped with everything you need to cook and has all necessary baby gear if needed which was a big advantage for us. Marie-Claire and her husband went above and beyond for us, making sure we got a dinner reservation for a special event at a very sought after place (don't miss Le Petit Leon, truly delicious) and even found us a great babysitter so we could go out several times at night. It was the small plus that made all the difference for us. Je souhaite à tous un aussi bon séjour que le nôtre en Dordogne!

    Sarah September 2021 Lou Mitan Booked Via Airbnb

  • Absolutely fabulous. We rented the whole house (not the gites) and were wowed by the whole place. There are five 5* ensuite bedrooms, a fantastic and huge living room and a spacious modern kitchen / dining room, which opens out to a magnificent terrace for outside dining and river views. The estate has two gorgeous pools, one for the house and one for the two gites. The owners went out of their way to ensure that our stay was amazing, and were especially helpful with Covid documentation for both France and our return to the UK. They are exceptionally knowledgeable about the area, restaurants, wines, food, etc. We could find no criticism. Thoroughly recommended!

    Peter & Barbara September 2021 L’Enclos Booked Direct

  • Thank you for your message and repeat that we were delighted by our stay both at the level of the cottage and the region that we appreciate very much. We would also be delighted to be able to come back next year, I will contact you soon to be able to book 2 weeks next August.

    Paul August 2021 Lou Mitan Booked Direct

  • Super lieux pour decouvrir la region! Parfait pour des familles avec enfants, la maison est toute équipée. Super sejour merci encore

    Guillaume August 2021 Lou Mitan Booked Via Airbnb

  • We recently spent a week staying with friends in l’Enclos and would highly recommend it to anyone! In fact, we are already looking at when we can make our next booking. The Gîtes are beautiful inside and out and feel very homely for a trip away, furnished and equipped with everything you’ll need. Bruce and Claire-Louise are fantastic welcoming hosts and have plenty of recommendations for the area. There is no shortage of activities either with Badminton, Table Tennis, Boules and a private outdoor swimming pool on site for relaxing on those sunny days, as well as the village tennis and basketball courts 100m away. Outside of Sergeac, we experienced Canoeing down the Vézère, exploring the caves, horse trekking along the river, day markets and night markets in the local villages, and an outstanding dinner at Le Petit Léon.

  • Thanks again for the stay you made us feel very welcome - perfect for our family and very relaxing.

    Andrew August 2021 Lo Gorro Booked Direct

  • Une très belle maison idéalement située au cœur de la Dordogne. Entourée d’un magnifique terrain avec une grande piscine chauffée, au bord de la Vézère. Maison confortable et très bien équipée. Les propriétaires sont très accueillants, attentionnés et discrets. Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour en famille.

    Sophie August 2021 Lo Gorro Booked Via Homeaway

  • Nous avons aussi beaucoup apprécié notre séjour nous reviendrons surement un jour 😀

    Olivier July 2021 Lo Gorro Booked Direct

  • We had such a wonderful, relaxing stay at Lou Mitan. The house is spacious and very well-equipped- even nicer than in the photos. The whole place is gorgeous - the pool is a dream! And the gardens are wonderful, so much space, with beautiful flowers and herbs around every corner. The kids enjoyed the swings and we all had fun with le pingpong. It's only a few minutes walk to the river where you can paddle or take a longer, shady walk past the old caves to the nearby village of St Leon which is beautiful. There you can swim in the river and eat in cafés.It's a short drive to Montignac, a very picturesque town with a well-equipped supermarket. Mostly we just stayed at L'Enclos because it's so fabulous you won't want to leave. Claire-Louise and Bruce are perfect hosts, welcoming and quick to respond to questions, but not intrusive. An absolutely dreamy holiday!

    Caroline August 2020 Lou Mitan Booked Direct

  • Charming vacation house with beautiful garden. We loved staying at this charming house. The house was fully equipped and even had some ventilators that came in very handy during the hot days. It's located in a small village a few 100 metres from the river Vezere. It is very close (often walking distance if you like a bit of a hike through the forests) to some famous tourist attractions. The owners were very friendly and easy-going. The house and the garden were kept well and there was a large pool that was cleaned daily. We can definitely recommend this place.

    Loretta D August 2020 Lou Mitan Booked Via Homeaway

  • We’ve spent two very special summers at L’Enclos, being drawn back by the beautiful grounds, fantastic swimming pool, open home, and friendly hosts dealing with our large family. Overlooking the river, at the entrance of a small village, you feel secluded, but there’s plenty to do a short drive, or even walk away. I really can’t recommend this lovely destination highly enough, and particular shout out the owner’s going out of their way to help us with some car trouble, in fact my only concern being that by being too honest here they might not have any space for us in the future.

    Josh & Monique August 2020 Booked Direct

  • Le logement de Claire Louise et Bruce est idéalement placée au coeur de la Dordogne, dans un petit village très riche en histoire et au pied de la Vézère, nous étions à moins de 20 kms de sites magnifiques : Sarlat, Lascaux, Padirac et plein de petits villages typiques. La maison est très propre, fonctionnel et décoré avec soin. Une grande piscine très agréable et un grand terrain. Bruce et Claire Louise nous ont accueilli à la perfection et se rendaient très disponibles en cas de besoin. Nous recommandons fortement.

    Olivier & Stephanie August 2020 Lou Mitan Booked Via Airbnb

  • Si vous cherchez le calme dans une maison de caractère avec piscine, tennis, rivière, visites, ... posez vos valises chez Bruce et Claire-Louise

  • Claire-Louise en Bruce, Bedankt om bij te dragen aan een prachtige beleving van de Dordogne. We hebben genoten van ons verblijf, de tuin, het zwembad, de omgeving en ook van jullie gastvrijheid en leuke babbels. Veel succes met de verdreven renovatie en hopelijk tot nog eens! Veel liefs, Karel en Annelies Edward, Annabelle en Rosalie

    Annelies & Karel August 2020 Lou Mitan Booked Via Aibnb

  • We spent 2 wonderful weeks with our 3 kids at Lou Mitan. Claire-Louise and Bruce gave us a very warm welcome. It’s an amazingly beautiful and truly peaceful place to stay, ideally located in a small ancient Templar village at the river Vézère in close proximity to a number of sights. The combination of the beautiful landscape with the old honey-yellow stone houses, the clear sky, the clean air is unique. The property is very well maintained, very tastefully laid out and offers a lot of opportunities for families, such as swimming in a wonderful pool, table tennis, badminton, tennis… Our sons loved the fishing opportunities in the Vézère. We all would love to come back… Thank you Claire-Louise and Bruce!

    Carola & Stephan July 2020 Lou Mitan Booked Direct

  • If you want a relaxing and peaceful holiday set in beautiful grounds, this is the place for you. The gite was spotless, well maintained and equipped and beautifully decorated. The pool area was a lovely place to relax and the pool itself was the perfect size. Claire Louise and Bruce were fantastic hosts, providing some lovely touches like home made jam and a treasure hunt in the garden for the children. All in all, a perfect holiday!

    Camilla & Giles August 2020 Lou Mitan Booked Via Airbnb

  • We stayed as a family at the Gite for one week, and it was a wonderful experience. The description of the apartment and site is very accurate, and the surroundings (the village, the river etc) are beautiful. Claire-Louise and Bruce are wonderful hosts and made us feel at home from the first day.

    Joachim & Priska July 2020 Lou Mitan Booked Via Airbnb

  • Magnifique propriété et hôtes très gentils, présents et accueillants. Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour. La balade jusqu'au village de Saint-Leon-de Vezere est très jolie. Piscine magnifique et propreté de la maison impeccable.

    Rachel & Nicolas July 2020 Lo Gorro Booked Via Airbnb

  • Un grand merci à nos hôtes, qui sont charmants et très attentionnés. L'emplacement est parfait, proche de beaucoup de sites touristiques. La proximité immédiate de la Vézère est vraiment très agréable. La maison est très bien agencée avec tout le nécessaire, l'endroit est très reposant. La piscine sécurisée nous a également permis de passer de magnifiques vacances.

    Marina & Loc July 2020 Lo Gorro Booked Via Airbnb

  • We are quite regular out-of-season visitors to the Vézère valley, enjoying ‘working’ holidays in the area for over ten years now. The gîtes at L’Enclos de Sergeac are for us quite simply the best places to stay that we have found in this beautiful region; an idyllic location right on the bank of the river, excellently situated for exploring, walking, prehistory-imbibing, restaurant-visiting; a brilliant and unobtrusive welcome from Claire-Louise and Bruce, with sensitive attention to detail the hallmark of their approach to hospitality; and above all a spectacularly warm and comfortable, and well-equipped, home from home in the house itself.

    Simon & Helen February 2020 Lo Gorro Booked Direct

  • Un bel endroit, une maison typique bien aménagée, la proximité avec des sites magnifiques... un endroit où l'on a envie de se poserplusieurs jours ...

  • Beautiful place on a stunning location

    Julien October 2019 Lou Mitan Booked Via Airbnb

  • Claire-Louise and Bruce were very responsive and friendly hosts, and their Gite in a wonderful rural setting is just brilliant! Plenty of space, great amenities including a fully equipped large kitchen, good beds, a nice veranda and a sparkling heated pool to top it all off. Good restaurants, shopping, and all the sights of the fascinating Dordogne area are within easy reach (a car is necessary though). My wife and I greatly enjoyed our stay and would love to return one day.

    Wolfgang September 2019 Lo Gorro Booked Via Airbnb

  • Claire-Louise and Bruce and daughter Verity were gracious and friendly hosts. The property is perfect for those who want a quiet place ideally located in the Dordogne. Clean. Lots of lovely outdoor and indoor spaces to relax in. Beautiful pool. Rooftop deck on which to grab some rays or just stargaze Will definitely book again. Five stars all the way for us.

    James September 2019 Lo Gorro Booked Via Homeway

  • Our family fell in love with Claire Louise and Bruce’s property the moment we arrived. Such a beautiful part of France and their home is a little paradise. We have moved on to another part of France this week, the house is lovely , the pool great but we all miss Sergeac a little bit. Thank you both for a special time in our life.

    Monique & Josh August 2019 Lo Gorro Booked Via Airbnb

  • Nous avons passé un très bon moment dans ce gite qui est très conforme au descriptif. L endroit est merveilleux, le jardin très beau et la piscine appréciable pour se rafraichir. Les enfants ont adoré tous les jeux mis à leur disposition (table de ping pong, babyfoot, balancoire , salle de jeux avec livres et BD ...) Un petit coin de paradis. Merci Claire Louise et Bruce pour votre accueil , votre gentillesse et vos marques d'attention. Nous avons passé une très belle semaine. Bonne continuation et au plaisir de vous revoir une autre année.

  • Équipements idéaux pour un sejour avec des enfants de tous âges qui apprécieront aussi les sites des alentours comme Lascaux, Sarlat,les châteaux etc... Claire Louise et Bruce sont des hôtes discrets mais toujours disponibles, tout aussi accueuillants qu 'attentionnés.

    Yves August 2019 Lou Mitan Booked Via Homeaway

  • Nous avons passé une excellente semaine au gîte de l’enclos, magnifique propriété au bord de la Vézère, rivière tranquille qui passe à quelques mètres du gîte. La région du Périgord est splendide, beaucoup de sites pré-historiques à visiter, des merveilles géologiques tels que le gouffre de Proumeyssac à 30 minutes où les grottes de Lascaux à 15 minutes. Il y a aussi à proximité (5 min) la possibilité de faire de belles balades à cheval et en canoë. Claire Louise et Bruce sont très attentifs au bien être de leurs hôtes. Nous avons passé de merveilleuses vacances.

    Anne August 2019 Lou Mitan Booked Via Airbnb
