“A great place to stay” We have just returned from a lovely two week break at Rose House, the house is very quiet and comfortable, with a nice sunny garden and barbeque area setup with tables and chairs. It is situated... more

“A lovely gite in a peaceful village in a nice part of France” Lynn was great giving us information of the area before we left for our break. The information of places to visit in the cottage were first class and helped make the holiday so much better. A holiday very much enjoyed and another visit in the future looking likely

“Fabulous, didn't want to leave” We had a lovely week at Rose House. The renovation, restoration and facilities were first class and I particularly loved the original hall, stairs and landing-it is stunning! We ate lovely meals in local restaurants and enjoyed cooking locally sourced food in the fully equiped kitchen and eating our meals in the pretty, attached garden. The people in the village and the surrounding countryside were very friendly, as were the British ex-pats we met at the local tobac. Driving around was easy and the roads were like they used to be in England 50 years ago with little traffic, coutesy and no traffic jams.

“Home from home, a lovely atmosphere!” A beautifully and tastefully restored 16th/17th century farmhouse with roses round the door. As you open the stable-type front door, you see the traditional flag stone hall with the amazing original 17thC wooden staircase winding up before you. The rooms too do not disappoint. Upstairs, an enormous en-suite bedroom with walk-in dressing room/wardrobe, a large landing with chairs and extensive selection of books for all ages, a further bedroom with another bathroom. Downstairs there is another double bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen and a large comfortable lounge, with original brick range, fireplace and stone sink, all very cosy. Plenty of games and guide books too. Outside there is a walled garden with extensive views over the fields, a BBQ, and tables and chairs for relaxing. Plenty to see round about:- Oradour sur Glane ( the martyr village), Montrol Senard (nostalgia village), Bellac, lakes (fishing and bathing) and forests. Plenty of restaurants close by, including the very friendly and reasonably-priced Auberge in the village. A car is a must though really. Limoges airport is just 20mins away, and one of the smallest international airports I've seen... no queues here. Lynn and her mother were so friendly and helpful, always there if needed, but not intrusive. Can't fault the welcome and our stay there.

“First class rural accomodation” We have three small children and the property fulfilled all our requirements. It is in excellent condition and has all the facilities you would need. Its location is central to both towns and lakes and is well set if you like the outdoor life. We enjoyed our second stay in this property and were not disappointed. I would recommend it anyone with or without kids.

“Pretty cottage in village location” The cottage is spacious, clean and well maintained and the owner is friendly and helpful. It is in a lovely area of France with plenty of activities to suit everyone. The village has a boulangerie, small general store and a tabac/ bar. The garden is lovely and has fruit trees and a large grass area as well as decking with table and chairs but is across the road from the cottage so may not be suitable for young children. However, if you book Rose House the garden is enclosed and has direct entry from that property. The kitchen would benefit from having some larger cooking pots and pans for those of us that like to cook the local produce on holiday. Response: Thank you for your comment regarding the requirement for larger pans. On top of the 5 pans that were in place I have now put a further 2 larger pans there.

“Delightful house in a wonderful village providing a fantastic family holiday” We stayed in the house and it provided excellent family accommodation full of charm, character, facilities and information that provided for a very successful holiday. The house is in a charming village that includes a bakery for daily croissants, pastries and bread, and an excellent restaurant and bar. The area is great for walking and cycling and there are plenty of lakes for swimming within a very short distance. For a culture shot the historic city of Limoges is within a stones throw and provides excellent architecture and also good retail therapy! We were thrilled to see a female deer and her baby walking along the edge of the forest whilst sat in the garden having a bbq.

“Fantastic accommodation, great village and access to surrounding area...” This is the first 'review' of anything I have ever done, But I feel so strongly about the quality of this Holiday let, the location and the whole experience that I need to let everybody else know. In relation to the accommodation, it has clearly been renovated with a 'substantial' amount of care and attention to detail. It is just like walking into a very nice home. If its character you are wanting and SPACE the larger house has it all. Not least of all a fully fitted bathroom as well as a full shower-room / wc. Everything else that you could possibly need is there too - TV / radio / Games / Books .. etc... There is a long strip of private garden / patio along the side of the house, which is great for sitting out, BBQ's etc.. - It's such nice house you may not want to go out! That said, we did, it was our first time in France, we had driven to the south coast for a week and then on the way back spent a week in the house. - Now, the south of France was nice (very hot!), and worth seeing, but we will go again to this house in Brugueuil. There is plenty to see and do around about, from the lakes (really good for kids.. ours were 13 to 16 and loved it as well as being safe for young ones). This house and this location offers a really good holiday, 'special' accommodation in my opinion (a bit like going to a posh hotel if that makes sense), relaxing and plenty to see. Another thing to mention is that getting there by car is really easy once one has skipped around Paris, (we actually broke the trip back by having a few nights in a budget hotel on the outskirts of Paris (not quite what we had been used to the previous week!).. I would strongly recommend the house and cottage, the lady who owns the houses is 'very pleasant' and you will have no worries with booking / support when you are there etc as there are contacts nearby if you need any help. Enjoy! Paul Greenhough

“EXCELLENT, RELAXING FAMILY HOLIDAY” A beautiful place to stay, with lovely rustic charm. The village is quiet and sleepy with really friendly people. The nearby larger town has every convenience you could need, including a McDonalds for some! Again it is a beautiful, laid back, rustic town where you can relax while the locals play boules. There is a fantastic indoor and outdoor pool complex with water slide, sun lounges and childrens play area. There are lots of things to do and places of interest within a short drive. The lakes are gorgeous!
