The Charming Dordogne
7/May
Judy
5 stars
“One of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. The trip itself is well thought out and there's plenty to do on days off. Sarlat was a great base as it has a brilliant cinema and a train station as well as lots of shops & plenty of places to eat and drink. Some have mentioned the long journey but surely if you go on a rail holiday this is to be expected. Anyhow, it's all part of the holiday and there are some beautiful things to be seen en route (I spotted a herd of around 6 wild deer for example). Special mention to our Tour Manager Ashley and Coach Driver William who were both superb. A wonderful experience in a beautiful part of the world and I'd highly recommend

“The holiday is well planned and enjoyable. My only negative comment would be that we arrived at the hotel at about 6pm after a long day. It took ages for everyone to check in to the hotel. Surely, our room keys and check in forms could have been prepared for us in advance?

“Good value if you are not very mobile Very shocked that Steve Sutton, who bought this trip, wasn't able to be reimbursed anything when his wife was dying and died, and that despite being informed of the situation 3 weeks before the travel date.

“A good holiday overall in a very pleasant location but a bit slim on the catering with just two evening meals included (in a local restaurant) one of which tasted a bit like Heinz spaghetti from a tin. Hotel breakfasts were good. Ideal group size (24) and excursions were enjoyable.

“This would have been 5 stars but for the following. 1.Disappointment being changed from Strasbourg to Mulhouse. Mulhouse was attractive and the hotel very good but the journey was too long,we arrived too late to see anything and had to leave next morning just as the market was opening. 2. The group was 34 in number(much too big),our guide was very good but many struggled to keep up. 3. Tiefencastel, The hotel was clean,very warm and comfortable,but a bit stingy on the bathroom products(one small sachet of body wash each) and packed lunches (considering one day was Christmas Day).And all inclusive is perhaps a description that stretches a point! It”s only at tiefencastel and that is limited to while you are eating. 4. Communication is sometimes muddled by receiving some messages from Great Rail, a sister company 5,We paid for our luggage to be transported to Tiefencastel,but a week before departure were notified that the company (Sherpr) knew nothing about it .RD has reimbursed our money.Luggage on trains can be problematic. 6.Otherwise,brilliant holiday. Christmas day,snow,good company,treasured memories……..
