"Wonderful accommodation and spectacular setting! The owners are very welcoming and ready to help in every way! Very well positioned for all the great places to see and the countryside! A happy place to stay! I would definitely go back again!"
"We stayed in the Bread Oven which had been beautifully renovated and was very well equipped and spotlessly clean. The location was delightful and very peaceful - just a 20 minute walk to a bar/restaurant in Meyronne on the banks of the Dordogne river or, if you want a longer walk, on to St Sozy. There is loads to see and do in the Dordogne/Lot area or just you could chill-out in the garden or by the pool at the Laborie. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this accommodation to others. Cecile and Sean were the perfect hosts - and we had a really great stay there."
We stayed at Laborie in June and had a fantastic time. The weather was perfect and we were really pleased that we had decided to base ourselves at Laborie. Sean and Cecile made us feel very welcome and were great hosts – we hardly noticed that they were there but were always available when we needed something such as a recommendation for a restaurant. We stayed in the Barn, which has been recently renovated. They did a great job – the building still retains its period features but inside it is light and airy and equipped with all you’ll need for a self-catering holiday. I have no hesitation in recommending Laborie as an ideal place for a holiday in a surprisingly under-rated part of France. I also suspect we’ll be back again next year. Phil London
We loved our two week stay at Laborie. It is exactly as advertised and even more beautiful than the photos suggest! It is a fantastic place for kids, they loved the pool and were never bored. Apart from some great castles and sightseeing, there were heaps of activites they enjoyed such as tree climbing, monkey park nearby and a spectacular eagle show at Rocamadour. Our hosts were always helpful and had great suggestions on what to see and do. A fantastic place for a family holiday.
"Laborie was set in the most peaceful surroundings & the views were lovely. We did not experience any noise other than the odd tractor. (Fantastic)The property was spotlessly clean & there was no problem accessing it. The pool was good with beds around & the garden had outdoor furniture & barbecue."
