Rural gites owners with their dogs

We’re Tricia and Kresten, an Irish-Belgian couple who, together with our two dogs, Bella and Willow, call the beautiful Dordogne countryside home.

After many years working in corporate roles in Dublin, we decided to exchange the pace of city life for something a little different — a more relaxed way of living, surrounded by nature and the charm of rural France. Here in South West France, we’ve found a place that offers just that.

As the owners of Rural Gîtes, we love sharing this special corner of the Dordogne with our guests, offering a warm welcome and helping them discover the wonderful experiences the region has to offer.
