This was a very clean, very well furnished and equipped property, with welcoming hosts who seemed to have thought of everything to make one's stay comfortable. The property adjoins the hosts property but is separate and private with a patio and small enclosed garden. There is a small lake to fish in, with the hosts even providing a couple of rods. I would recommend it for anyone wanting a peaceful and comfortable stay in beautiful countryside.

A perfect place for a holiday

The cottage is very nice, the owner is helpful and the location is perfect. It is excellent as a starting point for making walking trips in the surroundings. Haute-Vienne has a large number of marked walking routes. And you can also make a trip to Limoges.

Quite simply, the perfect little gîte with exceptional attention to detail from our hosts Lisa and Andy. Everything is perfect down to the subtle colour palette, and the pops of brightness in the bedlinen. Amazingly comfortable superking bed! The kitchen is very well equipped and the bathroom, though small, is very chic and functional. The pièce de résistance is however the outside space - extensive and private with comfortable outside furniture, and very well tended despite the extreme temperatures during our stay. My husband caught a few tiddlers in the lake (tench, bream). Watch out for the coypu! Our hosts respected our privacy whilst being on hand for any queries. I can't recommend too highly !

Rural Tranquillity in Haute Vienne

The property is extremely comfortable and very well equipped. The garden is totally private and the lake also is only accessed from the house. The setting is so peaceful. Surrounded by lovely scenery there are lots of opportunities to spot wildlife.

The house is as described, and Lisa and Andy were very helpful hosts. We particularly liked how well-equipped the kitchen was, the quietness of the house, and birdwatching at the lake. The lake is quite large, and we had it to ourselves. It is about 20 m from the front door of the house, reached via the car parking space.

Looked forward to staying in Lisa and Andrew's gite and were not disappointed.

This gite was clean, well appointed, comfortable nothing was lacking, it was lovely just to sit outside having a coffee and listening to the bird's Lisa and Andrew were very friendly hosts and willing to help if you had a problem. The situation of the gite was very nice, in a pretty garden with a lake over the stream.We would recommend this gite.

A Little Corner of Heaven

Didn't think it was possible to find somewhere better than the gite we had just left. Lots of thought put into equipping the cottage. Good quality comfortable beds and sofas. The private lake setting was sublime. So many bird calls to identify and even saw a coypu taking his evening swim. Totally relaxing. Away from it all but just 6 minutes drive to the village.
