About this property

Family friendly, very comfortable house with private pool. Dordogne

Le Cheval Blanc is a large, but intimate and homely self-catering property in the Dordogne providing luxurious accommodation and an exclusive swimming pool at non-luxury prices. We can sleep at least 14 people in 7 big ensuite bedrooms. It may be possible to bring your dog, but you must check with us first.

Your destination is a rambling 19th Century farmhouse in the heart of the Dordogne countryside. It is situated in the tiny secluded hamlet of Joubertias just 5 minutes drive from the charming market town of Riberac where you will find supermarkets, shops, restaurants and banks. Venture just a little further and you will find the mediaeval town of Brantome (the Venice of the Dordogne) and, of course, all the attractions that the wine regions have to offer. Experience has taught us that happy children make happy parents, so we pride ourselves on being baby, child and family friendly. Please contact us to hear more about our facilities for those travelling with babies and young children to make your family holiday as stress free as possible.

We also offer a FREE Welcome Basket for all bookings, and a reasonably priced Welcome Meal for you to reheat at your convenience if you would like.

Fabulous House
We stayed here for the second time and had forgotten quite how good it is. It has the most equipped kitchen with every utensil you wish for. There are several fridges so for a large group it is easy to cook and have space for drinks. We loved our stay and are grateful for the thought and care that has gone to furnishing this house. Thank you!

Perfect for a family get away
we had been waiting two years due to covid restrictions to celebrate my wife's 80th and so th expectations were high. There were ten of us there couples and four young adults so the ability to have a bedroom AND en=suite each was a major bonus. The property is a rambling farm house in shaded surroundings with everything you would need for a relaxing holiday. We had set standards in choosing the Cheval Blanc - plenty of shade, good inside space, quality kitchen and a swimming pool all of which we found and the fact that every bedroom had a substantial fan meant we were kept as cool as possibly in 35 degree plus heat. The area is very country and has good walks but the big name places such as Sarlat are over an hour away which in the heat was not an option we did however discover Aubeterre, a neat little village with a fantastic underground church, Perigueux,,Brantome and Bourdeilles all great towns to visit. Bill and Jill are charming and very helpful and excellent hosts. Would highly recommend.

stay in Celles for 10 days with 10 adults and 2 kids
- the communication with and information from the owners was perfect and very efficient. They prepared everything very well! - the house is certainly big enough. all required kitchen tools are available. - the water upstairs was often a problem: when different people taking water, there was no water or no warm water, almost no pressure on the shower. - the house is a bit older but nevertheless comfortable and everything what you need is provided - very quiet surroundings and possibility to make beautiful walks

Family holiday
There were 14 of us as an extended family and we all agreed how well equipped the house was, including a very well fitted kitchen and entertainment room for the younger members. The bar was an added bonus. Plenty of outside seating for meals and the pool area was well looked after, including a small paddling pool for tiny ones. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend this property.

A wonderful find, superbly equipped and ideal as a cyclists base for a week
From the moment we arrived for our annual week away as a group for 6 days of road riding, it was obvious that Jill and Bill had out their heart and soul in to making the place an excellent choice, not just for cycling but as a charming and brilliantly appointed holiday home The attention to detail is first class, water in every bedroom, loo rolls, well equipped kitchen and a beautiful swimming pool Highly recommended by the Redhill Cycling Club tour gang

Fantastic Place!!
As a party of 9 adults and 3 children Le Cheval Blanc offered everything we needed and more. On arrival we were greeted by Bill and Jill who are lovely, very helpful and generous. The house is beautifully positioned and equipped with things to keep adults and children alike entertained, thankfully we had amazing weather so made the most of the gorgeous pool together with getting out and about to explore the local area. On occasion the Movie room was used which great. We couldn't recommend Le Cheval Blanc highly enough. Thank you Bill, Jill and Lynne

We love it so much we have booked again
Our family of 9 adults and 5 children enjoyed our 5th visit to this lovely house . We have already booked for next year. I think this says it all. The house is very well equiped as is the pool area. Jill and Bill make every effort to make your stay enjoyable . We all made good use of the pool and the children enjoyed cooling off watching a DVD in the tv room

Annual France Group Holiday
As a group ranging from 8 to15 persons, we have had an annual France holiday for the last 15 years. This property is the best equipped that we have stayed in so far. The quality of the bedding in all the bedrooms was good as was the kitchen equipment. The house is full of character and spacious. I was also a nice touch having a pool fridge to save walking back into the house to grab a cold drink. The host were very helpful & always on hand without being intrusive. The only very minor negative was that the layout of the kitchen resulted limited work surfaces if multiple people were preparing food at the same time.

Perfect house and location for Our group of friends to catch up
Right from the time of our booking to when we reluctantly left Lynne, Jill & Bill were very responsive to our constant questions and ensured that we were very comfortable even before our arrival We were a group of eleven friends, mostly from the UK but a couple from Australia. The house was equipped with everything you could think of in your own house. There are three eating areas, one by the pool, all seating fourteen. We toured the local area a few days - which is fabulous - but just loved sitting by the pool, or a quiet spot if you just wanted to read, catching with old and recent "gossip" We flew into Bergerac which is just an hour's drive. Great week

Family friendly with every amenity
This was our third consecutive year at Le Cheval Blanc and the best yet - the owners are always available to assist with any question or query; the house is spacious and family friendly with everything provided to ensure a happy and contented stay. The fact that our three families aged from 2 to late 60s had a wonderful time and have made this our preferred destination for the third year running says it all. We can't recommend it highly enough.

Un excellent séjour
Grâce à Lynne, Bill et Jill nous avons passé une semaine magnifique au Cheval Blanc. La maison, les chambres, le jardin, la piscine nous attendaient , propres, arrangés avec goût, avec un petit plus pour le panier d'accueil et le peignoir préparé sur chaque lit des quatorze locataires. Quatorze à dormir, mais aussi une table de 14 dans le séjour comme dehors devant la maison ou à la piscine: Bref on était bien partout! Et une mention particulière pour Bill pour sa réactivité lorsque nous l'avons sollicité. Voilà une habitation à recommander pour ceux qui veulent découvrir ou redécouvrir cette belle région!

Maison super équipée dans un environnement très calme
Nous avons passé une excellente semaine de vacances en famille dans cette maison spacieuse et très bien équipée. Les propriétaires sont très réactifs pour régler les problèmes qui peuvent survenir au cours du séjour. Le jardin n'est pas très grand mais est agréable avec des espaces ombragés. La piscine est séparée de la maison par une petite route, ce qui est un peu ennuyeux pour les jeunes enfants. Mais très peu de passage puisqu'elle n'est empruntée que pour accéder aux maisons voisines. La piscine est un peu froide; il n'y a pas de bâche et les nuits sont fraiches. Bilan général très positif, d'autant que nous avons eu un temps magnifique.
