What Our Reviews Say About Us: Real Guest Experiences at Petit Rousset Gites

When we created Petit Rousset Gites, our dream was simple: a place where people could truly switch off, feel at home, and fall a little bit in love with this beautiful corner of the Dordogne.

Nothing makes us prouder than hearing that our guests feel exactly that. Here’s what your stay -  in your own words - says about life at Petit Rousset.

“They’ve thought of everything”

One of the things guests mention again and again is the care that’s gone into every detail.

Our one and two-bedroom gites are described as: “beautifully styled”, “spotless”, “brand new” and “incredibly comfortable.”

From well-equipped kitchens to comfy beds, storage space, natural light and those little extras that make self-catering easy - it means the world to us that guests notice the effort. We want you to arrive, unpack, and immediately feel settled.

Peace, space and that ‘holiday feeling’

A common thread in our reviews is the atmosphere here.

Guests talk about the “peaceful, serene vibes”, the beautiful green surroundings, and the feeling of coming back to a “tranquil place in the evenings.”

Days often look like this:

• A morning coffee on your terrace

• A dip in the clean, refreshing pool

• A lazy afternoon in the gardens

• And evenings with a glass of wine watching the sunsets

That slow, relaxed rhythm is exactly what Petit Rousset is all about.

The best of both worlds: countryside calm, town on your doorstep

We love that guests appreciate our location as much as we do.

We’re described as being in a “beautiful location within a stone’s throw of the historical town of Eymet.” A walk into town is often called “a must” - and we couldn’t agree more.

From here, guests enjoy:

• Wandering Eymet’s medieval streets

• Browsing vibrant local markets

• Discovering cafés and restaurants

• Wine tasting in the region

• Even the occasional French-style quiz night

Plus, with supermarkets nearby, stocking up on local produce for a relaxed dinner at the gite is easy.

Warm welcomes (and a certain furry friend)

We always aim to strike the right balance - being on hand if you need us, while giving you space to unwind.

Guests describe us as “warm and welcoming” and say they felt “right at home.” That means everything.

And of course… there’s Nellie 🐾. Our four-legged helper has earned her own fan club, with guests loving her friendly presence during their stay!

A place people want to return to

Perhaps our favourite thing to read in reviews?

“We will definitely visit again.” “We WILL be returning!” “You will not regret staying here.”

Knowing that people leave relaxed, happy, and already planning their next trip tells us we’re doing what we set out to do.

From us, with thanks

Every kind word, recommendation and returning guest means more than we can say. Petit Rousset isn’t just a place to stay -  it’s something we’ve poured our hearts into, and we’re so grateful it’s becoming part of your holidays and memories too.

We can’t wait to welcome you. 💛
