Monsegur magic
We had a wonderful stay at la Maison Montignac. The accommodation was perfect and the hosts were more than lovely and helpful. We especially loved the fabulous swimming pool, tennis court and games room. Would definitely stay again as we really didn't want to leave.

Five star accommodation perfect for large families
The property is perfect for large family groups and families with children. Well furnished and everything you need to cater for large groups.The pool is amazing with plenty of loungers and the tennis courts and games room provide fun for adults and children alike. We hired bikes and enjoyed some lovely cycles to nearby villages. The local supermarket and bakery in the village provide everything you need.
We would highly recommend this property and wouldn't hesitate to go again.

Golden Wedding celebration family holiday
The location of this Gite was excellent and had all that the family wanted to relax and enjoy our holiday. We were able to walk into the village though some of the roadways were not so good as there were no paths until nearly into the village. The swimming pool was an immediate hit with everyone especially the children and the weather was wonderful. There was plenty of room around the pool area for everyone to have their space and we liked the security of the gate making it safe when children were playing in the garden, knowing that they couldn't get to the pool without an adult. The tennis court was well used and the games room was great, because of all this it meant that there was plenty to do without leaving the Gite. I understand that fly screens are being fitted to the windows which will be a big advantage as we did find that the flies were a nuisance at times especially when you wanted some fresh air in the bedrooms. We visited Duras on a Monday morning to see the market and buy produce and to visit the lovely Chateau and taste the local wine. We also went into Monsegur on Wednesday evening to experience the night market, and what an experience that was, it was something that we had never experienced before. Our understanding was that there were around 700 seats available at the tables set out in the centre and an abundance of food stalls to choose from, snails were also purchased and tried but not sure if they were enjoyed. We had a final meal at Le Grand Cep in the village the day before we left and we were looked after extremely well, the food was excellent and beautifully presented and so a lovely finish to our holiday. We had to contact Maureen the Housekeeper during our stay and we were looked after extremely well with a swift response to our enquiry. Also on arrival we were able to leave some of our luggage a bit earlier than the arrival time which helped us out very much and for that we thank Tracy and David for arranging this for us. And finally we thank them for making the booking procedure so helpful and easy from start to finish, it was a pleasure doing business with them and actually speaking personally to the same people throughout the arrangements.

A fantastic family holiday Gite
We had a wonderful stay in La Maison Montignac with our extended family of 8 adults and 7 grandchildren (2 to 12 years old). The property was immaculate, thanks to Maureen and her team, incredibly well equipped and had every facility you could wish for to keep the children (and adults!) amused. The location was perfect with an excellent supermarket within walking distance. The highlight of the week was the Wednesday night market in Monsegur; also Duras, St Emilion and Chateau de Monbazillac were well worth a visit. Tracy and David could not have been more helpful, making the whole rental process so easy. We would unreservedly recommend this property.

Spacious, well appointed & good for families
The house had plenty of space to accommodate our 6 adults and 5 children of varying ages, and has good facilities. We all particularly enjoyed the excellent swimming pool and sporting/games facilities. The surrounding area is pretty and quietly charming without being spectacularly so. The night markets in Monsegur and Duras were good fun and the chateau in Duras is well worth visiting. The owners provide good service. I can certainly recommend this property.

A charming farmhouse for a family holiday!
A charming farmhouse suitable for a family holiday! We were 4 families celebrating our parents 60th wedding anniversary, with an age range of 1 to 79 years and there really was something for everybody! The house was well equipped, clean and very comfortable, with lots of space for us all. The tennis court and games room provided endless hours of entertainment & fun and the pool/pool area was safe, clean, heated and very relaxing!
The house was located only a short drive from several local villages and there was a local supermarket and market nearby for our everyday needs.
We also visited Bordeaux, Bergerac and St Emilion which were only a short drive away.
We particularly enjoyed a memorable wine tasting evening at a local chateau, along with a picnic provided by the lovely Sylvie.
David and Tracey were most professional and very helpful from start to finish and we shall certainly use them again.
In all we had a wonderful time at Maison Montignac and we would thoroughly recommend it for a family holiday.

Très agréable séjour
Très bonne semaine de repos dans cette belle région.
La maison est spacieuse et très agréable, tout est fait par les propriétaires pour passer de bonnes vacances en famille.
On dispose d'espaces séparés pour plusieurs couples avec enfants.
Le parc est très joli et grand, on est au calme avec une très belle vue sur la région .
La piscine très propre, sécurisée est très bien conçue aussi bien pour les adultes que pour les enfants.
Les commerces sont très proches.
L'arrivée est très facile et la gardienne est très disponible.
De woning is lekker groot en bestaat uit diverse delen waardoor je in een grote groep ook privacy hebt als je dat wil. Het uitzicht is fantastisch vanaf het terras en de kavel is erg groot waardoor je diverse plekjes hebt om te zitten. Zwembad is mooi groot, schoon en voorzien van een brede trap. De woning is deels in een uitstekend staat (met name woongedeelte) . De slaapkamers en badkamers zijn wisselend van staat: van voldoende tot zeer goed. Spelgedeelte binnen is ook fijn om even wat activiteiten te doen als het wat minder weer is. Enige puntje van kritiek: Enkele badkamers kunnen een opknapbeurt gebruiken. Eindoordeel: heel fijn verblijf en een mooi huis!
