Pool

The Limousin / Auvergne / Correze region

The Correze could be described as the Lake District of France with it's hills, lakes and forests. It's an ideal place for walking and cycling and is still relatively undiscovered as a tourist area.

During July and August the pace of life speeds up a little, but in comparison with most tourist areas, it is still peaceful and uncrowded.

There are many places of interest to discover. See our website for further detail.

THE WEATHER

May & June: The best time to come: usually hot and sunny with the countryside bursting into life and very few tourists around to appreciate it. You can often have the beach to yourself.

July & August: Usually very hot with stormy moments. Many more tourists and activities in the villages. A good time to come if you like a little more life, but still a peaceful area when compared to most tourist areas of France.

Sep, Oct & Nov: September is often still hot and summery, but there are fewer tourists. We can still get some lovely weather right through to November and even up to Christmas, when the snow often arrives. Few tourists.

Dec-Feb: Sometimes lots of snow. Usually in the minus temperatures. Glorious views.

Mar & Apr: These spring months can be unpredictable with hail storms followed by beautiful sunshine. Bring your brolly, but it's an ideal time for walking and exploring the area before it becomes too hot.

The Treignac / Chamberet area

Chamberet is the nearest town with facilities, such as a supermarket, shops, restaurants and bars and this is approximately 6km (4miles) down the valley.

Treignac, which is approximately 10km away, is designated one of the most beautiful villages in France and here you will find the lake with beach, swimming and watersports in summer.

Through the hamlet itself, there are walking and mountain bike trails and there is an equestrian centre only 1km (less than a mile) away.

“heaven on earth” The Old Granary is so peaceful, comfortable and private that to describe it any other way is impossible. It is everything you could wish for if you wanted an "away from it all" holiday. I look forward to the time when I can go back again and enjoy the beautiful surrounding countryside. Please go and try it! I don't think you will regret it!

“Relaxing, peaceful garden and pool terrace with view.” We loved the pretty patio garden and pool terrace so much that we hardly left it in the 2 weeks we were there! We already miss the ducks and the 3 legged cat that wandered around. We enjoyed the walk through the forest which started just a few metres from the gite. A very relaxing holiday with helpful owners that lived on site, but did not intrude.

“A rustic rural retreat in a beautiful area of central France was just what we needed” While Le Joulageix cannot claim to be the most charming hamlet in the area, Kate and Dave's small gite had all the facilities that we were looking for. The nearby town of Treignac is a gem and the ' Pain aux noisettes' from the boulangerie in Chamberet is still a great memory. We did some lovely walks in the cool of the forested areas that cap the local hills, armed with a typical picnic of bread, cheese, tomatoes etc. The information supplied, including some excellent photos, meant that we were immediately at home and had no unpleasant surprises. We particularly liked the very pretty garden and the privacy but, unfortunately, could not make use of the swimming pool. Although compact, we found this to be an excellent feature in a self-catering holiday home for two people and on most evenings we were happy to cook for ourselves and watch the riots in England on the TV.

“A true experience of rural France” This is a lovely, cosy gite -ideal for two. Tucked behind the owner's house with its own terrace and access to a very nice splash pool and lovely gardens. Sitting outside with a glass of wine,... more

“Winter stay” Having spent a previous summer on a campsite in the Limousine we had decided to buy a plot of land near Chamberet and found Dave & Kate's website on the internet and decided to book up to have a look at the place in the winter. We stayed in the Granary just before Christmas and found it really comfortable and cosy. The kitchen was well equipped and we had everything we needed for our stay. Plus Dave & Kate had already warmed the place up for us when we arrived. Dave & Kate are very friendly and have lots of advice and knowledge about the local area and were a good source of information. The Limousine area is particularly picturesque and we enjoyed long walks and lunches out in nearby villages where the reception is warm and friendly even though our French is fairly minimal. Winter in the Limousine is particularly beautiful when you have really cold days with frost on the ground but bright blue skies and sunshine. There are a number of supermarkets nearby and we also took a trip to Brive where they have a live market which is quite frenetic and exciting and well worth a visit. Sadly our stay was for only for a week and we could easily have stayed longer. Now we have put in to process the purchase of the plot of land we hope that we will remain friends with Dave & Kate when we eventually come to live in France which is our plan. We would recommend the Granary if you are looking for a quiet, peaceful stay in France to enjoy a truly French experience but with the added comfort of your hosts speaking English as well as fluent French.

“A perfect break away from it all in a beautiful location” We stayed at the Old Granary in September 2010. The accommodation was self-contained so very private and we had access to a splash pool and sun loungers in the garden so it was a lovely home from home! The Old Granary has its own kitchen and bathroom. The location of the accommodation is up in the hills of the Correze so the views across the valley are stunning. The owners of the property live in the old Bakery next door and are on hand for any forgotten essentials. They have cats and ducks who are very friendly and add a lovely homely feel. A fabulous break away and we would love to visit again.

“Another Lovely Stay” This was our 2nd stay at the Old Granary . The self contained kitchen is ideal for us as we like to self cater - the supermarket located in the nearby town of Treignac had everything we needed. There are also bars and restaurants a short car ride away if as we did, you want a change from cooking. The Old Granary is situated in a peaceful garden in the beautiful French countryside. The surrounding countryside is lovely for us as we like to walk and cycle. There is also a beautiful lake a short drive away. This location is ideal for a peaceful away -from -it -all holiday.

“Idylic” The accommodation was, without a doubt, everything you need. Very clean. If you want to escape from it all for peace and tranquility then this is a definite recommendation. Surrounded by beautifull (what i would call) countryside walks and away from all the hustle and bustle of the city and concrete blocks. TV, iron, hairdryer, it has all you require so no worries about neccesities. Transport is a must to explore further affield or to access any shops but as a holdiay hideaway then you have got your own piece of seclusion. Leaflets are obtainable if you want to find out what activities are going on in or around surrounding areas. A lovely garden to sit in with barbeque and a pool to enjoy on those hot days (which i have to say, my week was wall to wall sunshine). Will definitely come back and take advantage of this property again. Very friendly owners and are available if you require any assisstance or information. Highly reccommended. Thanks again for a wonderfull holdiay.
