Described as ‘a slice of paradise’ by one delighted guest, Gites de Sevenne is a pretty pair of cottages for families to unwind, just 20 minutes off the beaten track from the tourist honeypots of the Dordogne. It took owners Sandie and Mark five years to find the perfect French property to be their home and business with no compromises, but in 2011 the couple fell in love at first sight with seductive ‘Sevenne’.
Gites de Sevenne is a tranquil hideaway deep in the unspoilt Lot and Garonne region, ‘far from the madding crowds’ that flood into the Dordogne yet under half an hour’s drive from the buzzing ‘bastide’ walled towns and natural attractions. The nearest village is Saint Barthelemy d'Agenais (3km) where there is a tabac, bar, deli, boulangerie and post office. The nearest town with more shops, supermarkets, banks and restaurants is Miramont-de-Guyenne (14kms).

A fabulous 2 weeks in Drake Cottage. This was our first visit and I'm sure that it won't be our last. Sandie was a superb host and couldn't do enough for us, even babysitting one night so we could have an evening out. It was perfect for our toddler, with loads to do on site such as collecting the eggs, picking vegetables and helping Sandie water the plants. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay with a toddler.
Yes - a wonderful place to stay and get away from it all. Nothing was too much trouble for the hosts and we were made to feel very welcome the moment we arrived. The setting is perfect for children and apart from shopping there would be no need to leave the gite!
