Description from owner

Description

La Grue is a charming 19th century farmhouse with original beams and exposed stone work, beautifully renovated into a 3-bedroomed luxury self-contained Gîte.

The Gite is available for holiday rentals thought the year (minimum 2 night stay at off peak time ).

Gite offers UK TV package, free WiFi and a free welcome pack, owners are on site for any questions / problems. Well behaved dogs welcome local vet available for return journey.

The gite is set up to cater for up to six adults and two children sharing with their parents, one double bedroom with en-suit and two bedrooms with a double and single bed. We can provide a cot for baby if required. A private entrance with parking leads to the large lounge and kitchen/ dinner, bathroom upstairs and large garden to rear.

Behind the gite there is a large secluded garden and BBQ area, overlooking a wooded valley and in the distance Rochechouart. The views over the surrounding countryside from the rear of the gite are fabulous all seasons of the year, with the rolling hills, fields, and woodland.

We are located in the heart of 'Le Parc Naturel Régional Périgord-Limousin', and are ideally situated to explore the varied and beautiful attractions of the Haute-Vienne, Dordogne and Charente departments. If you enjoy outdoor pursuits then you can fish, swim, cycle or meander around the beautiful lakes in the area. Golf is also available at 3 Golf courses nearby and there are many more attractions situated locally.

We are only 6 km from the pretty market town of St Mathieu, which provides full amenities including a petrol station, banks and a supermarket and the market town of Rochechouart is also close by which has a beautiful château and several bars, restaurants and shops.

We are situated at the Charente/ Dordogne/ Haute Vienne borders and normally receive around 2000 hours of sunshine a year on average.

Further details

Security and refundable breakage deposit required when booking gite of 200 GBP which will be refunded after the gite has been thoroughly checked (refund usually done one week after guests have left).

We expect guests to leave the Gite as they find it as far as cleanliness is concerned, failure to do so may result in a 50 GBP reduction from the security deposit for the additional cleaning required.

Response from the owner Good to know that you enjoyed yourself and the gite was up to your specifications. The good weather is always a bonus when you are on holiday, but unfortunately I can't control that. Water pressure has always been a problem but have again written to the water company to see if anything can be done, so we will wait and see what happens, but nothing happens overnight here.

“Had a wonderful time and cant wait to return”

Reviewed 28 Jan 2013

The service provided was excellent and very friendly. The gite itself was beautiful and had a very French feel about it. The gite was very spacious and would easily sleep up to eight people, it was clean and very comfortable. It is situated in the heart of the French countryside and there was plenty of things to see and do, they provided a welcome pack which enabled you to find all the local amenities easily and also places of interest to visit. I would not hesitate to recommend staying here and look forward to our next trip there.

“A very pretty Gite with plenty of room”

Reviewed 8 Aug 2011

The gite is large with plenty of room, there were 5 of us plus 1 dog. The rooms are very clean and well laid out and well stocked, the rear garden is very large with a seating area, chairs & table, 2 sun loungers and a BBQ (don't forget to ask for it as it is kept in a barn to keep dry...we forgot to ask and bought one). The very thick walls of the gite keep it very cool on hot days and there is a fire for when it is cold. We had the en-suit room which was very nice and the bathroom very large with a power shower (the water pressure is low though) our only complaint about the bedroom is that the bed was not the most comfortable, the pillows are very soft so if you like them harder I would bring your own. Our friends and their son had the other 2 rooms with a shared bathroom that could be locked on both sides which was a great idea. The other couple also found the pillows too soft but thier son slept fine every night. A car is a must as it is remote but lovely & quiet with amaizing walks from the front door, all big tourist attractions are a cars journey away though. Rochechouart is 10 mins away and is lovely, St. Junien is 25 mins away and has everything there, big hypermarkets, pretty streets and shops and a beautiful river. Our dog loved playing with one of the owners dogs which is a bonus if you are taking a dog and the garden is more than big enough for them. The owners Ron & Jackie are English and speak French, they live ajoined to the Gite which is a huge help if you need them. The only big problem we had with the gite was there was no WIFI which is advertised (we were told you could get it if you stand outside the front but we never did in 2 weeks) we had relied on the internet to look for things to do in the area but as we could not get on it, we had to rely on maps and info obtained before we traveled. We were give the code to connect from the owners but never did manage to get it connected, if you don't intend to use the internet then this is not a problem but otherwise print off all the things you want before you go and forget about Twitter & Facebook, lol. The gite is well worth the money as it is very large and well stocked. There was parking for both cars right outsid ethe front door too. You will need a car, but leave it behind somedays and walk the small roads that surround the Gite.
