The Long Trail to Rocamadour

You will be warmly welcomed to this family-run hotel by Corinne and Patrice Bernardie. Idyllically situated beside the gently flowing River Dordogne, their charming hotel offers a high level of comfort - there are just seven rooms, decorated in gentle colours and a contemporary style, plus a cosy lounge which opens out onto the terrace overlooking the river.

The Lasfargeas family's welcoming inn overlooks the River Cère, with comfortable, simple bedrooms and a restaurant popular among locals.

This is a comfortable hotel, so named because it enjoys views to the château of Castelnau from the restaurant, terrace and outdoor pool.

Located in this pretty village set high above the river, with an interesting church and a ruined castle, the Auberge has a homely atmosphere and rustic restaurant. It is a five-minute walk from the river, and there is a garden in which to relax.

This high-quality hotel sits on the banks of the River Ouysse beneath the château of Belcastel. The cuisine, fully deserving of its Michelin star, is outstanding, and there is no shortage of space to relax, including an outdoor pool and pleasant gardens.

At this small, friendly hotel, located in the heart of the hamlet of Calès, you will be warmly welcomed by hosts, Karine and Olivier. There are thirteen beautifully decorated rooms, a restaurant specialising in the use of local produce to create modern takes on traditional dishes, a small spa and a swimming pool. Outside there is a large terrace on which you can enjoy dinner or a welcoming post-walk drink.

Set in its own grounds, the Troubadour enjoys good views over the surrounding countryside. Rooms are prettily decorated and furnished with pieces made by a local craftsman, and give direct access to the outdoor pool. We include a gastronomic dinner of local produce.

This charming medium-sized, family-run hotel with an outdoor swimming pool, is located in the medieval heart of Sarlat. The rooms are equipped with modern facilities, including satellite TV, a minibar and an en suite bathroom. Enjoy exploring the town's beautiful cobbled streets, browsing the shops or stopping for a lazy lunch in one of the many restaurants before returning to relax by the pool.
