From the owner

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.
