Home description

The Linden House is located in the rolling countryside of Creuse, just 10 minutes from the historical market town of Ahun. We are also only 10km from Guéret, which has all the amenities you could need. The gîte itself nestles in a small hamlet of 7 houses, and is surrounded by fields and farmland.

With 120m² of accommodation including 2 large double bedrooms and a twin, the gîte is perfect for families or groups. There is also the possibility of a double futon in the living room and cots are available if required. The recently refurbished kitchen includes all mod cons, including a washing machine.

The gîte is located to the left side of the house, with the owners living on-site in the second property. Help is at hand should you need any advice on any of the number of things to see and do in the area.

The Limousin / Auvergne / Creuse region

Made up of still lakes, fast flowing streams, gentle rolling valleys and forested hills Limousin has only recently become popular with tourists looking for off-the-beaten track holidays where the quintessential old-fashioned image of rural France still exists. Discover its medieval villages, granite churches, magnificent countryside and mouth-watering cuisine at your leisure.

Essentially rural in character, Limousin's unspoilt landscape continually delights those seeking to trade their stressful schedules for a little bit of peace and quiet. Put your hiking boots on and walk the Millevaches plateau or the rolling hills of Monédières. Kayakers, canoeists and anglers will find what they're looking for on the Dordogne, the Vezere and the Creuse rivers. Play a round on an 18-hole golf resort. And with its many stud farms and certified horse riding centres, it's the perfect place to improve your riding skills.

Enjoy!


Gueret / Ahun area

Apart from the many activities the natural countryside provides, there are also plenty of local activities to fill the long summer days. Whether it be getting lost in the Giant Labyrinth (10km), visiting the wolf park (12km) or swimming in one of the many local lakes (some of which have beach areas with life-guards to supervise bathing), there is always something to do for all the family. Aubusson, with its world-famous tapestries is a mere 30km away and producers of Limousin's celebrated porcelain abound. For a quieter time, visit the local markets and 'brocantes' where you'll be sure to find a bargain or two.
