Une jolie grange et une région à découvrir

Très belles vacances dans La Grange Fleurie. Nous étions proches de lacs, de villages à découvrir, de belles balades à faire…le coucher de soleil sur la terrasse était superbe. Merci Déborah pour l’acceptation de nos deux « loulous » Paloma et Théo nos deux British Shorthair qui ont eux aussi beaucoup apprécié le lieu…avec les fortes chaleurs, il manquait peut être un climatiseur ou un autre ventilateur mais nos amis en ont apporté un…nous n’avons pas testé le jacuzzi car il faisait trop chaud et nous préférions les lacs proches…peut être une prochaine fois…

Superb Barn.

We were not disappointed, the barn was superb, the photos do not do it justice. Deborah is an excellent host, very considerate and friendly and will go the extra mile to make your stay a success. Gourdon-Murat is a good location to explore the area and get a good idea of rural french life.

High end property in quiet landscape area

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this quiet but beautiful area. The property is of a very high standard, heated floors , high end bathrooms, beautiful deck. In the area we specifically enjoyed: - the beach at Lac des Bariousses; - the randonnées (maps provided) particularly the very interesting gallo-Roman ruins at “Les Mazières”; - the town of Uzerche, very pretty - Chateau de Val, on the beach of the reservoir with an interesting exhibit showing the villages before the dam was built; - dinner at L’Auberge du Sauvage , Rempnat, they always have vegetarian plat available which is excellent; Also the WiFi is fast and there is both French, British TV and Netflix available. Also Deborah is a very generous and friendly host who is very attentive to any little thing that needs to be addressed. Thanks Deborah! Gareth and Fiona, stayed 2 weeks August 2020

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Middleton

Deborah Middleton is an author of crime novels set in Bermuda. An inveterate globetrotter, she moved to Gourdon-Murat from Mallorca in 2017 having been seduced by the Limousin scenery and warmth of the people. She has spent the past 18 months working with French artisans to lovingly convert the barn into a high-end « gîte » ... while she “camped” in the farmhouse next door!
“I traded in my tennis racquet for a chainsaw and paintbrush!! But I have no regrets! I hope that you will fall in love with the area and have a wonderful stay in the barn”.

Languages spoken - some better than others: English, French, Spanish, Italian and German.
