The master bedroom has within it the old bread oven –hence the name of the cottage – and there is a further double and twin bedroom. Add to this a fitted, newly equipped kitchen, large lounge/dining room with comfortable leather furniture and huge dining table and chairs you’ll see why this is the place for your family to base it's holiday. A superb new wood burner has been installed in the cottage this year for guests who holiday out of season- the Limousin can be cold in the winter!- to compliment the electric radiators in other rooms.
As resident owners we are able to maintain the decor and furnishings to a high standard to ensure you feel comfortable and relaxed and join our ever growing list of happy visitors to our self-catering gite/cottage.
We are pleased to welcome families and can provide cots, highchairs etc. where required; children’s games, videos and DVDs are available in the cottage.
Garden furniture and a barbeque are in the large garden for your use and we are surrounded by open fields and woodlands for you to wander through.
We are 1 mile outside Treignac, the medieval village voted one of the most beautiful in France. The bakers, butchers, greengrocers, bars and bank are only 5 minutes away by car or a 20 minute walk through the woods. Treignac also has a famous choclaterie which must be visited!
While here you must have a meal at our local auberge Le Cantou in Affieux offering a menu both traditional and gastronomic! Whatever you choose it will be a highlight of your holiday! Ask us for their current menu and promotion.
The area is known as the French lake district and Treignac boasts a fine lake with a safe beach for even the youngest bathers and many water sports for those slightly older! Canoes and kayaks are available for hire along the river Vezere, where every year local competitions are held.
The area is renowned for walking with dozens of marked routes - from just a gentle stroll around the local chateau to serious hiking across forested hills. Wildlife abounds in the fields and woods surrounding the cottage – deer, foxes, badgers are regularly seen and wild boar (sanglier) have been heard in the woods (but not seen!).
So, for the perfect family holiday in the Limousin, France, with peace and quiet, where children are welcome, visit our self-catering gite. For the peace and quiet of the country, but close to a beach and all amenities - a holiday that children and families will treasure!
