This beautiful stone house and barn has bags of lovely French features and quirks is let on a self catering basis and can sleep up to eight people with room for cots.

A fantastic property in a private location just a short distance outside the village of St Saud Lacoussiere, just ten minutes walk from the small local village which has everything you need for your stay including bars, restaurants and a beautiful lake suitable for swimming and water sports in the summer months. The property is in a small, quiet, calm hamlet just ideal for that peaceful, relaxing time away. Boardering the River Dronne with a picture prefect picnic area perfect for long lazy lunches, a dip in the river and tiddle bashing, just like the old days.......

The house has two floors.
The entrance leads directly into the large dinning room with dinning table to seat 8 plus highchairs, there is also a small seating area ideal for some quiet reading. From the dinning area is a door to the stairs leading to the second floor with three bedrooms and a family shower room. Also from the dinning room is another door leading to a small lobby area with a separate WC and large downstairs shower room. From the lobby is also access to the lounge area with stairs leading to a very large double bedroom. From a third door in the dinning room you have access to the large very well equipped kitchen and access to the wrap around garden.

Quiet Retreat
Lovely old building with a nice wrap-around garden in a quiet and peaceful area. Could be easily improved with just a couple of little things - such as soap in the bathrooms, salt and pepper and cooking oil in the kitchen.

Ideal quiet and private location
This property is amazing! Really spacious rural and rustic farmhouse. Spotlessly clean with good facilities. Lovely garden with multiple places to sit to follow/keep away from the sun. Really quiet and private. All bedrooms are large and airy - keep cool in the day despite the really hot August weather. Lovely local village within a 20 minute walk along lovely picturesque fields. Really rural and quiet. Nice lakes nearby as well as interesting villages - ideal for a quiet and authentic French experience. We ate out at Leigh's restaurant in a nearby location one night - lovely food and great to meet her and have a chat. The river at the end of the garden is a real bonus - great for teenagers, but a steep slope down there so not great for small children. Much better for teenagers than a pool!! The only thing I would say is that our flight arrived in the evening on a Saturday and by the time we had got to the house, all of the local shops were shut. We stopped at a supermarket en route, but had anticipated that there might be a pint of milk and a loaf of bread to tide us over, but there wasn't. Didn't make or break our absolutely lovely holiday in this property, but would have been nice and we would have been stuck if we hadn't stopped at the supermarket on the way. All in all, this was an absolutely perfect location for our holiday. Leigh was a responsive host and got in touch to make sure all was ok. Couldn't recommend either the property or Leigh enough.

Brilliant place!
This is the best holiday home we've stayed in. Incredible character, brilliant art work throughout l, stays cool in the hottest weather and the stream at the end of the steep hill in the garden is magical for young kids. The local lake and beach are exceptional.

une maison originale et bien équipée
un lieu très calme, la maison dispose d'un très vaste terrain clos avec accès direct à une rivière nettement en contre bas. La maison est vaste et bien équipée. il manque cependant un four à micro-ondes. Décoration originale et très personnalisée le propriétaire est très réactif : nous avons signalé un problème de plomberie le soir du 15 août, le lendemain tout était réglé avant midi ! Nous recommandons cette maison pour un séjour en famille

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette belle maison de campagne. Le Périgord Vert est une région très belle et reposante. Les gorges de la Dronne sont magnifiques.

très moyen
Nous n'avons malheureusement pas eu de chance à cause du temps catastrosphique de la semaine. Le propriétaire n'y peut rien sur ce sujet, en revanche, aucun jeu disponible dans la maison , les visites sont à au moins 30 voir 40 mn de route. La maison est extrémement sonore, aucune isolation phonique très sombre avec une décoration qui donne le cafard. En temps de canicule, la rivière peut être certes sympatique mais en temps de pluie , difficile de profiter des lieux. La maison n'était pas propre, le ménage des parties communes cuisine, four et salles de bain laisse à désirer. Au vu du prix payé et des taxes etrangères à ajouter cela est bien trop cher! Nous sommes déçus de notre séjour et partis 24h plus tôt.

Perfecto lugar de descanso
Hemos pasado 15 días fantásticos en esta antigua casa. La propiedad está a las afueras de Saint Saud, donde se llega con un paseo de 20 minutos o en 5 minutos en coche. Es un pequeño pueblo en el que se puede encontrar lo básico: Farmacia, un par de agradables restaurantes, un pequeño supermercado y una panadería. La casa es espaciosa y confortable. Está decorada con gusto en un estilo rústico que la hace acogedora. Cuenta con todo lo necesario para pasar una temporada. El jardín, con las tumbonas, sombrillas, la barbacoa y las mesas para comer es un lugar impagable, realmente agradable. A pocos metros hay un pequeño paraje con un río en el que también se puede disfrutar de la tranquilidad. Nuestro objetivo era descansar y desconectar y realmente lo conseguimos. Pudimos hacer numerosas excursiones desde la casa a diferentes destinos situados a menos de una hora. Como mejorable: quizás la limpieza era algo superficial, el alcance de la wifi era limitado y el tamaño de las duchas podría haber sido algo más generoso considerando el espacio disponible en los lavabos. En cualquier caso son aspectos menores que no desmerecen el destino.

Superbe gîte au calme
Très joli gîte, grand et calme. Nous étions 2 familles de 4 plus un gros chien et chacun a pu avoir son espace. Le gîte est très bien équipé et nous avons pu profiter de la fraîcheur propre aux vieilles demeures en pierre pendant les journées de forte chaleur. Nous y reviendrons avec grand plaisir.

Très jolie propriété dans une campagne bucolique... Nous avons apprécié de prendre les repas dehors face à la forêt, puis avons trouvé un petit paradis au bord de la rivière! Belles balades à faire en partant de la maison ...( à pieds ou en vélo) Et la 4G pour les ados :-)!

Belle maison et beau jardin. Nous étions 6 adultes et un enfant et nous avons vécu sans nous gêner grâce aux deux parties de la maison. Grande cuisine bien équipée. Jardin agréable et spacieux. On recommande la descente à la rivière.

Cadre parfait !
Superbe propriété, agencée parfaitement pour nos besoins: une aile séparée pour parents avec bébé lève-tôt, une autre aile pour les 3 autres chambres des lève-tard ! Et l’exceptionnel petit chemin privé qui descend à la rivière, pour des moments inoubliables de nos deux filles de 5 et 6 ans qui ont pu vivre à la Tom Sawyer - Maison très bien équipée pour cuisiner au jour le jour - et très bonne communication avec la propriétaire
