The Dordogne is known for its rolling countryside and stunning river valley; it’s the perfect backdrop for an outdoorsy break. But it’s equally known for its produce and cuisine, vineyards, historic towns and villages, and its elegant châteaux. In other words, it is ideal for a quiet holiday staying in an owner-managed, intimate B&B. Our pick of the properties can be broadly split into two types: rural retreats, converted from old farmhouses, manors, or even châteaux; and village houses, which are closer to the Dordogne’s most interesting and beautiful centres. There are a number of excellent B&Bs in and around foodie favourite Sarlat, which is also known for hosting one of the largest Saturday markets in the Dordogne, and another collection around Domme; but you'll find interesting options right across the region — many are ideal if you’re travelling as a family and there are plenty with the all-important pool.
