Périgord-Limousin Park, Dordogne

A stone gîte, a private pool, and two hosts next door.

Tony and Gill converted their barn into a gîte beside their own home, so you're never far from a warm welcome or the ponies wandering the paddock.

Meet your hosts

Tony & Gill have called this corner of the Dordogne home since they swapped hospitality careers for a gîte of their own.

The gîte sits right next to their house, so if you need anything during your stay, whether it's restaurant tips or directions to the local markets, they're on hand to help. You'll almost certainly meet Barney and Gillie, their two Shetland ponies, and Petrus the dog, on your way to the pool.

Our story

La Grange Montante is owned by Tony & Gill

We want you to have a wonderful holiday. The gîte is next to our house, so if you need us, we're on hand to advise and help you get the most from your stay.

Two lives, one dream in the Dordogne

We both love France, and we love the Dordogne in particular. After working for several years in the hospitality and service industries, we moved to France to fulfil our dream, and to set up a gîte business of our own.

Every stay starts with the same hope: that you leave feeling like you've had a proper rest, in a place that's genuinely looked after. That's easier when your hosts live right next door.

We all look forward to welcoming you!

Barney One of our two Shetland ponies.
Gillie The other Shetland pony.
Petrus Our dog.
