About this country house rental
Detached stone cottage and barn conversion which has been renovated to a high standard, whilst retainimg a wealth of original features.
The property is situated in a quiet hamlet in the Creuse, Nouvelle Aquitaine with just a few other homes, surrounded by open meadows, hills and forests which provide great walks and cycling. Friendly neighbours to practice your French with!
The ground floor consists of a large, comfortable lounge with English TV and a log burner for colder evenings (8x5m), masses of games and books provided in the storage unit, fabulous well equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine and a log burning Aga for winter (7x4m) and a further reception room (30sq m) now fully finished and French TV/DVD player that makes for a brilliant children's playroom, toys included and summer lounge.
On the first floor is the master bedroom with ensuite facilities, separate dressing area and access to a balcony, a further large double bedroom with bunk beds ideal for families with younger children, and separate house bathroom with shower and roll top bath.
On the second floor there are two further double bedrooms and a twin bedroom with a toilet and wash hand basin.
Outside is a large patio area, BBQ and grounds of over an acre with swimming pool, trampoline and hammocks to relax in in the orchard. Superb dark skies ,making it ideal for star gazing.
Activities within less than an hour are Lac Vassiviere, Etang de Courtille, both places have boats, kayaks to hire and able to swim from sandy beaches, with inflatables. Families shouldn't miss out on a day at beach at Chatelus Le Marche, for tranquility and a natural environment - with maybe a little bridge jump too!! Other attractions include Loups de Chabrieres (woof sanctury), Labrinthe Geant des Monts de Gueret, Velo Rail de la Mine at Bosmoreau-les- Mines along with a museum. Shopping and sightseeing at Benevent l'Abbaye, Gueret add in a trip to the Museum of Arts and Archaeology, the mediaeval cities of Bourganeuf and La Souterraine which is a way point on the Santiago de Compostela pilgrim route. Please also don't miss a swim and picnic at Le Celle Dunois at the departments famous river La Creuse followed by a meal at the Auberge des Pecheurs in their garden. A folder with ideas and websites is available at the property.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en famille à Mousseau ! Très jolie et grande maison, avec beaucoup d’activités à faire en famille aux environs, indiquées par Simon avant notre arrivée pour préparer notre séjour. Je recommande sans hésiter cette location.

Mousseau is the perfect place for a large family gathering. We were 12 in all, and there was something for everyone, with a large garden, trampoline, swimming pool, extremely well equipped kitchen, spacious accomodation, and lots of toys to play with! We ate almost every meal out of doors, enjoying the view over the surrounding countryside, and it was so quiet that one member of the family (a city dweller) complained that she couldn't sleep!
We made use of the "reference library" to find local walks, markets to visit, and things to do. We sampled the famous Limousin beef, and bought huge quantities of bread, wine and cheese. We particularly enjoyed a visit to St Dizier, where the local hunt was showing off their horsemanship and the skills of their hounds. Limoges is well worth a visit too, particularly its cathedral, and of course its world-famous china industry.
Despite being in the "middle of nowhere", we had no trouble following the owner's directions. The house was immaculate when we arrived, and I hope we left it in the same condition! I would recommend Mousseau to anyone wanting peace and quiet in a beautiful part of France, and I would like to thank the owners for giving us a superb holiday.
Thank you!
