Paradise is a beautiful 5 bedroom stone farmhouse set in a lovely location with far reaching views and has a fantastic heated swimming pool available from May to September. This region is extremely picturesque and has an abundance of rivers and hills, perfect French villages to explore and wonderful local restaurants offering the best limousin cuisine. For those wanting to relax and enjoy long days in the sun and lounging by the pool you cannot find anywhere better to unwind. If you want a more active holiday the area has lots of outdoor activities including water sports at Lake St Pardoux and lots of fishing and walking on your doorstep. It is no surprise to those of us who live here that this is where the French come for their summer holidays as this region offers everything anyone could want for a perfect holiday.

Notes on accommodation
Outside of the main summer months this is our home and therefore you will find everything you would expect and hope for in your own home. Up to now only family and friends have stayed but as we now work away so much we have decided to let discerning and careful guests enjoy our little bit of Paradise. We therefore ask you to respect it as a home and not just a business rental property.
The village neighbours are extremely welcoming and friendly and very often you will find home grown garden produce left by the door! We have had a number of families in the past with every age of children however please note the obvious dangers of both the swimming pool and garden pond by ensuring young children are never left unsupervised.
We have just purchased a brand new cot and high chair for those with very young children so please request these if you wish them to be available for your stay.

Accessibility
We are in the process of changing the downstairs washroom into a shower room which will then mean that people with reduced mobility have access to every facility. The pretty downstairs twin bedroom is ideal for any guests preferring not to have to use the stairs too often but currently the only bathing / showering facilities are on the upper floor.
Outside
Large gardens with ornamental pool and covered loggia (sheltered patio area) just off the dining area perfect for al-fresco dining. Beyond the immediate garden area is the old orchard which now has the spectacular heated swimming pool with built in steps and sitting areas around the side for lolling around without getting in the way of anyone wanting to swim!
Alongside this is the brand new pool house and terrace making this area completely self contained from the house and providing everything you need for a 'day by the seaside'. 20 meters from the pool is the boule/petanque court (boules provided) and a further adjacent field perfect for either energetic ball games or quiet contemplation whilst sipping a glass of something nice and looking over the valley and hills beyond. Top quality pool loungers and two all weather sofas complete the 5* feel of this superb recent addition to the house.
