Rural Tranquillity in Haute Vienne
The property is extremely comfortable and very well equipped. The garden is totally private and the lake also is only accessed from the house. The setting is so peaceful. Surrounded by lovely scenery there are lots of opportunities to spot wildlife.

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.

This is the best property we have stayed at. The owners are pleasant, the house has been renovated to a high standard without changing its rustic appeal. It is very well equipped with attention to detail, which made our stay very comfortable. There is a lot of helpful information about the local area. Thank you Lisa and Andy

Our second stay here and dare we say even better. La Petite Maison is a perfectly serene vista and fits our needs in everyway possibe. Lisa and Andy are wonderful hosts with a wonderful Gite This year we vistited a few of the local town markets. Brantôme and Piégut-Pluviers are impressive and highly recommended. All in all a simply stunning place to be.

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.

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!!

Wonderful
This is a wonderful cottage, everything possible is provided. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable bed. It is always a nice surprise to find crockery etc matching Lisa & Andy have done a great job. They were not at all intrusive but willing to help if needed. It snowed and was cold whilst we were there so the plentiful supply of firewood provided was very welcome, as was arriving to the log fire burning, very thoughtful!

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.

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.

A petit maison with everything you need
We received a heartly warm welcome by Lisa and Andy on arrival. The ‘petit maison’ is next door to their house, but has all the privacy with its own driveway, shed and garden. The house is as complete as can be, Lisa has it all organized very well and managed to give the house a homely feel. Especially when you, like us, arenot so very lucky with the weather and are forced to stay inn most of the time. We haven’t been able to enjoy the lake so much, but it must be wonderful to have a picknick there. And ofcourse all the gear for a picnic is ready for use. All you want to know about the surroundings is there in folders. In all we enjoyed our stay and managed to catch up with some reading by the fire with a good glass of wine.

Looked forward to staying in Lisa and Andrew's gite and were not disappointed.
This gite was clean, well appointed, comfortable nothing was lacking, it was lovely just to sit outside having a coffee and listening to the bird's Lisa and Andrew were very friendly hosts and willing to help if you had a problem. The situation of the gite was very nice, in a pretty garden with a lake over the stream.We would recommend this gite.

A peace of heaven
Nog nooit eerder verbleven wij in zo’n compleet vakantiehuis. Van vaatwastabletten tot tapijtreiniger, van mixer tot pannenkoekenpan en van picknicktas tot paraplu’s; aan niks is een gebrek. De schuur waar je fietsen of een motor kwijt kan is een dikke plus, hier tref je ook tuinmeubelen voor bij het meer (of een barbecue, of visgerei) De privacy die naast wonende eigenaren schenken gaat alles te boven. Ze ontvangen je, geven uitleg en zijn vervolgens onzichtbaar. Het twee bij twee bed is heerlijk, de boerenkeuken van alle gemakken voorzien en het ontbijten en dineren aan het privé meer is een ervaring om nooit te vergeten. Hooguit de drie keer dat we een slang zagen heeft ons wat laten schrikken en tegelijk doen beseffen dat we echt midden in de natuur mochten logeren. Wij hebben drie overnachtingen gedaan, en hebben twee dagen rondgefietst in de prachtige omgeving. Echt een aanrader! Het is dat we een hond krijgen en deze niet welkom is anders zouden we zeker nog eens terugkeren!
