About this house rental
Charming home from home gite in the heart of the French countryside, nestled within the ‘Parc Naturel Limousin Perigord’, on the border of Haute Vienne/Dordogne. Large 3 bedroomed barn conversion set in idyllic private grounds with 5 acres of private woodland to explore. Whether you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing holiday off the beaten track, a base from which to explore the beautiful French countryside or house hunting, this comfortable gite is ideal. Sleeping up to 8 people, 2 double rooms with ensuites and 1 bedroom with twin beds and bunkbeds. Shops, supermarkets, fuel, banks etc are only 10 minutes drive away. Lovely winding country roads to explore either walking or cycling. There are lots of activities within ½ hour by car, ie caves, chateaux, horse riding, lakes, adventure parks, paintball, etc, a comprehensive publicity brochure is provided on site and we are only 10 minutes away from the famous Wednesday morning Piegut market. If you are an antique lover or just love a bargain, during the summer months there is always a vide grenier nearby and in the evenings there are weekly markets where you can choose your meal from local produce, have it barbecued and enjoy with a bottle of beer/wine, often to the sound of a live band, what more could you ask for. Failing that you can just chill at the gite, have a barbecue, enjoy a dip in the pool or a laze in the hot tub. You can do as much or as little as you wish. Owner on site in adjacent property but the gite and pool are completely separate.

What a lovely quiet yet well equipped location! The pool was a great addition due to very hot weather. The hosts are simply great and made sure we felt very welcome. If you want a base for the area you will not find better

The gite is perfect for families with plenty to do for children and adults at the property, and is located well for exploring the region. This was our second visit and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking to visit the area.Dave and Kathleen are great hosts who were quicl to communicate and help us with advice on the area and accommodating to us.

We stayed at the property in July 2024 for a week after spending a previous week in the Loire. This is such a lovely property and the hosts are friendly, kind and while their property is next door, the gite is completely private. The communication was excellent and as soon as we arrived we were greeted warmly and shown around. The gite has everything you could need and is spotless. The owners take great pride in providing a comfortable and relaxing stay. The garden is really big and we spent some days at home in the pool, making use of the badminton and football net - and of course the hot tub in the late evenings. We celebrated our wedding anniversary while we were there and the complimentary bottle of wine was very welcome! In the local area there is much to see and do, ranging from markets to the local lake which has an amazing beach with lovely soft sand, snack bar and activities such as paddleboarding. A lot of things are only a short drive away. The children really loved the treetops climbing - and zip-lining over a big lake! We also visited Limoges and other towns; it was so picturesque driving through the countryside. The owners were great in recommending places to go too/to answer any questions. All in all we had a great time here; it was really relaxing but at the same time close enough by car to a variety of places to visit. We would definitely return! Thank you Kathy and Dave for an amazing holiday! Russ, Jo, Max and Dexter.
