Lovely property by a babbling brook
My wife and I have stayed in a fair number of VRBO's, and we must say that this one was one of the nicest. It's located in a quiet rural area, surrounded by lovely mature trees full of songbirds, which suited our tastes to a "t". Nearby towns and villages have plenty of services and there are many attractive days out to be had in the area. The house is exactly as presented in the listing - fully modern comforts, but with loads of country charm. Big plusses: the comfortable beds and the cosy woodstove. All made for very pleasant evenings by the fire. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating and while only a few steps away, were very discreet and unobtrusive. All in all, a great retreat for anyone looking for a lovely rural retreat.

It is so peaceful and relaxing, we had a fantastic time and loved exploring the local area and looking at the wildlife in and around the lake. Hugely recommend.

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.

Absolutely beautiful
Absolutely beautiful place in a gorgeous setting. Spotlessly clean and everything you could possibly need was thought of. Very well equipped, more like a home from home. Huge, comfy bed in main bedroom. Plenty of outside space and very peaceful. The area alongside the lake was the perfect spot to sit and read a book whilst enjoying the sun. Good communication and plenty of information given about the local area before our stay. Lots of folders at the house with information and leaflets about things to do. We had a fabulous week and would love to visit again sometime.

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.

Superb gite
Really Really good. Spotlessly clean and well prepared. Furniture and fittings of a standard you'd expect in a home rather than a rental. Totally equipped - including firewood - just had to walk in. The private lake is a real treat. Very well presented. Plenty of wildlife - and one of the neighbours must have a pack of hounds whose occasional howling was wonderfully atmospheric!!
