About the home

Watermeadows is a beautifully restored, traditional Creusoise farmhouse on a 5 acre smallholding on the banks of La Petite Creuse River. With lakes and beaches near by it is an ideal romantic retreat or makes a perfect holiday with family or friends.

The house has been sympathetically resorted and combines its many traditional features with modern comforts and conveniences. There are 3 bedrooms, one en-suite, a large, comfortable living room with a wood-burning stove, dining room and French country kitchen.

In the cooler months, spend time in the cosy living room in front of the wood burning fire and in the summer enjoy the beautiful, private gardens or wander down to river bank. Watermeadows really is an idyllic place to be all year round.

“childrens paradise!” We stayed here with our two young children and found plenty to do. Roger and his family are friendly and professional and made us feel very welcome. Nothing was too much for them. They are very family friendly and our children were able to play together which was a real treat. The house is lovely and we would recomend a walk to their local river for a paddle. Socks the sheep is adorable and will suck your finger if you let him. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area. there is a local walk centered on Monets paintings, as the impressionist movement started in this area. Thank you to the Pick/ Habberjam family who made our stay truly memorable!
