Guest comments
"You home is lovely, Everything we needed was there.Very well thought out for an enjoyable stay"
S.Clark - "We had a brilliant week - your home is delightful and had everything to meet our needs and more! We found it really comfortable and homely - including the cat which appeared each evening staring in at the window asking to be fed - which, of course, we did!" We would very much like to go back again.
Owner profile
About the owner
We acquired our beautiful house in France a few years ago and rent it out, not for huge profits, but just to let others appreciate it and to help towards its upkeep. It has recently had a bright new finish outside. We love France and spend as much time there ourselves as time allows and plan to retire there too.
Year purchased: 2008
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We bought there because it's in 'au coeur de la France profonde'. Easily accessible but just far enough South to be exotic and warm. Yet it's green and pleasant in the varying seasons.We see the drive down as part of our Holiday,sometimes stopping off for lunch.
The city of Limoges is an easy hop if you fancy some urban culture. Otherwise its local quaint villages with their charm and interesting festivals. The coast and many interesting towns are a pleasant drive away. In Autumn and Winter its sunny days and crisp frosty mornings, long walks and cosy evenings sat in front of the roaring fire, bliss! Rochechouart with its grand chateau, restaurants and surrounding lakes is a pleasant drive away. Plenty of outdoor sports like golf, fishing and horse riding are locally available in season.
Unique benefits of the property
The large terrace is ours and our guests' favourite place. The elevated view of the surrounding quiet village and countryside is beguiling. We often sit out late into the evening sipping wine and listening to the birds and sounds of the night. The sky full of stars unseen in more urban Britain making familiar constellations quite vague amongst them. Picnics are easy, there's chairs, a rug, a cool bag, flask and some unbreakable crockery. With a village bakery and shop for supplies. There's a village green and boule pitch and a park just down the lane from which way-marked trails start and through which the river and stream babble. We often take the 2 bikes along the cycle path to the next village, either Chalus or Oradour sur Vayres and see what wildlife we encounter en route.
