Hello there!
Last week, I travelled to Sarlat-la-Caneda in the Dordogne in France with CBC and his family. I have been looking forward to it for so long, as all of us (bar CBC's older sister and husband who couldn't come sadly) would be spending a week together and WOMOTM would be coming.
The accommodation we stayed at is here if you want to see some great pictures.
When we arrived, I was totally bowed over by how beautiful and spacious it was! I had seen pictures but to see it in real life was amazing.
I should point out that the jar of macaroons was much appreciated!
This was the Maison Principale- the main house in which CBC,myself and WKWTTG stayed.
You can see the building behind it is the Piggery which is a beautiful apartment with a Mezzanine for a couple- it has a beautiful bathroom, kitchen and living room with a mezzanine for the bed. MonkeyGirl and her husband stayed in there.
There was a lovely outdoor area (with Weber barbecue) where we ate breakfast every day. The building behind here had a gym in it and a laundry room.
The main living room in our house housed an entrance to Narnia!
This lounge and dining room was so spacious and comfortable
The part I was most excited about was the Swimming pool area. This was above the house.
It was great to cool off in the afternoons on a few days.
This building was the second Gite and it had two bedrooms in it- a twin, a double, massive bathroom and a great open plan lounge, kitchen and dining room.
There was a large area of grass with a trampoline which we had a few gos on only!
After the 1st floor, there was a second staircase that left to the loft.
This floor, I guess, is aimed specifically at children.
I adored the swing chair here.
They have their own bathroom (three bathrooms in one house- super!)
The other bedroom was SO funky!!! There were two beds in here- so spacious for siblings, a Wi and a full bookcase of teenage and kids books which I was really excited about- I read 4 books from here that I wanted to read!
The main bathroom on the first floor was spacious with a curious shower that had three modes- normal shower, monsoon shower and jets from the sides!
What about our room?
Amazingly, we ended up with the master bedroom! I failed to take a picture of the bed but it was huge and comfy!
Were you wondering about the spiral staircase in the room? How fabulous that it led to our own en-suite! The shower was fab and you could see out the loft window to the pool
But what I loved best was the DRESSING ROOM!
To the right of the spiral staircase, 3steps led down to a perfect HUGE white dressing room! I WANT ONE! It was bigger than my bedroom at home!
Keeping it real here with the messy suitcase, camera case and raincoat!
It was a fabulous location to be in with the town of Sarlat some 8km away and Carsac around 4km away!
