Reviews of Le Mas & Le Mazet

This year we made our 7th trip to Le Mas & Le Mazet. I thought it was about time to review it as each year our love for the place grows even more. The location is incredible: not only is it convenient for Bergerac airport, it’s positioned between Beaumont and Monpazier, two beautiful and historic villages/towns with all the shops and conveniences you could need. The Dordogne river with its chateaus and canoeing is also not far and neither are the caves. The view from Le Mas is also entrancing and bucolic; haybales, sunsets and chateaus all from the stunning outdoor kitchen. The property itself still really stands out, even all these years on, maintained inside and out with phenomenal attention to detail. The bedrooms are full of storage, great en-suites and dreamy beds with gorgeous bed linen and quality duvets. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could need and plenty of (matching!) cutlery, crockery and glasses so no need to be constantly washing up. The living room has huge sofas so everyone can be comfortable and large cupboards full of books and games for cooler or cloudy days. During your stay the owners Rupert & Franck are on hand if you need them but practically invisible if not. They have organised several experiences for us; this year we particularly enjoyed the fabulous massages from Marielle under the trees in the shade, and an exceptional dinner by Didier. Rupert & Franck have been an absolute pleasure to get to know and each visit it feels more and more like home from home. We countdown to our next visit from the moment we leave!

Rupert & Franck have created holiday heaven! Their property is on site but they manage the balance of being available (they are a mine of local info!) & allowing privacy for total relaxation. Weather wasn’t great for us, although thunderstorms watched from the fabulous outdoor kitchen have their own appeal! The accommodation is perfect for a group of adults as only one room is more suitable for children and there is plenty of space for everyone to do their own thing. We loved visiting Millie to pick organic veg (some of which was included in our welcome goodies) and we enjoyed long lunches & dinners outside everyday. The local area is beautiful with lots to do but you will want to get back to this special place as soon as you can to squeeze every drop out of your time there! We very much hope to return…..

Having stayed for the first time in 2022, we had no hesitation in booking again for 2023. This time we took 10 people so had both properties and, just like last time, everything was perfect. Franck and Rupert are excellent hosts, and nothing is too much trouble. A wonderful week was spent lying by the pool during the day followed by eating and drinking in the outdoor kitchen in the evenings. The kids loved the pool and all the toys and games, whilst the adults appreciated the variety of places and spaces to find some much needed peace and quiet. Both properties have everything you could possibly need to make it a true home-from-home. I have no doubt we will be back again, as long as we can find some availability,

This marked our second visit to Le Mas, having celebrated my 40th birthday there with friends five years ago. On this occasion the party was a little different as we brought three little girls with us, who loved the house and grounds as much as we do! They were overjoyed with the pool and were in there every day for most of the day! It was wonderful to see Rupert, Franck and Plum again. Rupert is a source of brilliant local knowledge (restaurants, places to visit etc), and we also enjoyed an historical tour of the house and grounds. Such a special place that I want to keep it a secret as it is hard enough to book as it is! If you get the chance to go and stay, grab it with both hands. You won't be disappointed.

Had the most fabulous holiday at Le Mas & Le Mazet. Beautiful, comfortable and spacious accommodation, and the most accommodating hosts who are always happy to help with recommendations and arrangements. Highly recommended.

Wij zijn hier in mei geweest het was fantastisch! Super fijn en rijk uitgerust huis. Er stond een welkomstpakket klaar met lokale wijnen en zelf gemaakte jam en Gin! Hoe leuk! Het huis is op een prachtige manier verbouwd. Wij hebben twee weken als god geleefd in Frankrijk!

We love staying at Le Mas - it's great for families, with the beautifully-kept surroundings, house, and pool. The owners are terrific, very responsive to any queries ,and always ready with suggestions of where to go and what to do. We look forward to our time there each year!

We have just returned from our week staying in Le Mazet and WOW what a fantastic gem it is, The location and the views were just perfect, not only did the Gites have everything you could possibly need the attention to detail was superb, Rupert and Frank are just the nicest hosts anyone could ask for we will definitely be returning in the future

A once in a lifetime (or hopefully not) vacation rental! Our stay was even better than the pictures and writeup promised - truly a one of a kind opportunity you have to experience for yourself. The hosts have thought of everything, creating an inviting, beautiful, and welcoming stay for you and your guests. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect fall getaway - book now!
