House in Duras, not St Pierre du Dropt
Nice house, poor location
Finding the property was difficult as it is not in St Pierre du Dropt as advertised but close to Duras. It was difficult to contact the owner to sort this out as they we away from the area during the arrival time frame and their mobile phone kept losing signal. The road on which the property is situated is on the N608 which is a major road with noisy, heavy lorries and agricultural vehicles which destroys any countryside feeling. Further, it may be in a wine growing area but you cannot see a vine from anywhere in this property.
Sitting in the garden leaves you open to being annoyed by ants and midges / gnats possibly due to the dried out but still damp pond in the garden. The back garden is small and suffers from proximity to the cesspit tank vent.
Duras is an interesting town with a decent market but not a good base to explore other heritage or countryside locations in the area.
Finally, one set of towels and bed linen for a fortnight during a period of hot weather is simply not acceptable.
