About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Country Cottage + Fabulous Views. PRIVATE Exclusive Pool. WIFI. Pets Welcome!

The cottage is open-plan and split-level, so sadly not suitable for toddlers or disabled. The fully equipped kitchen/dining area has 3 steps leading up to the cosy living room where there is a music system and TV. The TV can be turned either towards the living room or the kitchen.

There is also a small office and WIFI. The 2 bedrooms are on opposite sides of the house, one on the ground floor, the other, loft, bedroom on the first floor. Both have double beds and are very spacious. The loft bedroom has more than enough space for 2 single beds as well, if required.

The bathroom has a large bath, separate shower, basin and toilet.

The terrace has a bar/BBQ and outdoor fridge. The private, salt-treated 9 x 4m pool, open from May to October weather permitting, and its’ terrace overlook several valleys and has fabulous views! Parasols abound and Palm and Banana trees offer natural shade.

The cottage is in a hamlet with just 2 other houses so very quiet and peaceful but is only 1 minute from the village and its’ shops plus a bar/restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining facilities. They also do 'custom made' pizzas.

Changeover day is Saturday but I can be flexible on day and also length of stay e.g. 10 days would be possible.
Make yourself comfortable in this cottage, which features a fireplace and a private pool. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Don't miss out on recreational opportunities including a water park and an outdoor pool.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Wonderful Cottage and Location

The gite is lovely and oozes character - it's a special place. The pool is fantastic and there are plenty of loungers to be in the sun or shade. The BBQ area is great, as is the outside eating area. Dawn is a fantastic host. She was there to meet us and give us a good overview of the place. Easily contactable by text and very responsive. We had a great stay and would love to go back one day!

Enjoyable stay at character packed house with pool

We arrived to a really warm welcome by Dawn who explained everything very clearly. Communication before and during our stay was excellent. The old and quirky, clean house had everything we needed and oozed character. The pool is a nice size, clean and most importantly, lovely and warm. There are plenty of recliners and outside seating for relaxing. We ate outside most days (weather permitting). There are lovely nearby walks. We had an enjoyable lunch at the restaurant Le Relais d’Ayen. Food was tasty and the owners were very friendly. Overall, a very enjoyable stay.

Great place to stay for a relaxing holiday

Great views. Great pool lovely host Really nicely equipped house with a great pool. Area is quiet and relaxing. Not the place if you want bright lights and nightlife. But fantastic for a relaxing week in truly beautiful scenery. The house is extremely well equipped with everything you need. There are many steps so not a good choice for mobility impaired people. We all had a fantastic time

Amazing stay in beautiful rural Correze

We had the most relaxing amazing stay in Dawn’s beautiful home. We had everything we needed to make our stay just perfect & the pool & outdoor area made our week. Beautiful countryside & views. Nearby supermarket & local markets perfect for your every need. Just idyllic. Can’t wait to return. Dawn met us & made us so welcome. During the booking process she made it so easy & gave us directions & information on local places. Great personal service.

Where have all the restaurants gone ?

We loved staying at Dawn's house.She would be the first to admit that a bit of a paint job is necessary.The trees by the fantastic pool could also do with a trim as they detract from what should be alovely view. Our only disappointment was the restaurants in the village have all closed for one reason or another.The new cooker is great and there is a BBQ but we would have liked to have eaten out in the evening.

Relaxation in a beautiful surrounding

Staying at this residence means a total relaxation. You have all means in- and outside the house. The pool is great. Enjoy the silence and view the sky at night. Contact with the owner Dawn was great. All well organized. The area is fantastic and the bigger town are not quite rote. All in all definitely worth another holiday next year.

Nous nous attendions tout de mĂȘme Ă  mieux vu les photos , mais elles ne sont pas rĂ©centes du tout . Accueil plus que moyen , maison vĂ©tuste , tables extĂ©rieur en fin de vie , coin barbecue qui ne donne pas envie d'y faire cuire quoi que ce soit , dallage piscine sale et mal posĂ© . La vue vantĂ©e dans l'annonce est cachĂ©e par la vĂ©gĂ©tation qui a largement poussĂ©e depuis. Nous avons Ă©tĂ©s rĂ©veillĂ©s toutes les nuits par un trĂšs fort bruit de chaudiĂšre que l'on aurait cru dans la chambre mais situĂ© sous la piĂšce. Location pour 6 personnes , mais deux minuscules frigos . Nous ne recommandons pas , surtout pour ce budget .

Nice cottage

The house, garden & pool are great. Dawn is a pleasant lady who is very responsive. Cosy, cool cottage when the wetter is good, on rainy days, it is a bit dark inside. Nice kitchen, but some appliances need to be replaced (it’s on Dawn’s planning). Our dog enjoyed the private garden with lot’s of cosy corners.

Landhaus in ruhiger Umgebung

Wir (2 Personen) waren im August/September fĂŒr eine Woche mit unserem Hund bei Dawn. Es war eine tolle Woche! Dawn ist eine sehr herzliche Person, die bei jedem „Problem“ weiterhilft und sich um ihre GĂ€ste kĂŒmmert. Die Lage des Hauses ist perfekt wenn man Ruhe sucht. Auf einem Berg gelegen mit einem weiteren Haus nebenan. PrivatsphĂ€re ist zu 100% gegeben. Der Garten war komplett eingezĂ€unt, was perfekt war fĂŒr unseren kleinen Hund. Der beheizte Pool, die Grillmöglichkeit bei der Außenbar, die vielen Sitzgelegenheiten, die Sonnenschirme, die Palmen und die BanenbĂ€ume im Garten haben das Anwesen abgerundet. Vielen Dank fĂŒr die tolle Woche Dawn! Thank you very much Dawn!! Best regards Jan, Nina und Lucky

Heel leuk huisje midden in de rimboe, rust en ruimte is hier zeker. Huisje was groot genoeg voor ons vieren en twee honden. Het verwarmde zwembad was uiteraard een trekpleister. Het huisje is prima ingericht en van alle gemakken voorzien, het ontvangst was zeer hartelijk en alles wordt goed uitgelegd.. Zeker een aanrader om nog eens heen te gaan. Dank je wel Dawn! Rene

Urlaub auf dem Land

Dawn hat ein wunderschönes Haus mitten in der Natur. Der Pool ist sehr schön und sauber. Das GrundstĂŒck eignet sich perfekt fĂŒr Urlaub mit Hund. Dawn ist eine sehr nette und herzliche Gastgeberin und das Haus ist mit sehr viel Liebe eingerichtet. Man sollte allerdings keine Angst vor Spinnen und anderen Krabbel und Fliegetieren haben denn die gibt es in einem Haus in der Natur. Wir hatten eine ganz tolle Zeit und wĂŒrden gerne wieder kommen.
