Description
The cottage is situated in a rural setting offering wonderful walks, cycling and fishing. The accommodation includes an open-plan living room with fully-equipped kitchen, dining area and comfortable lounge with log-burner, satellite TV and hi-fi. Also on the ground floor is a second sitting room with sofa bed leading to an en-suite double bedroom. On the first floor is a twin bedroom, double bedroom and shower-room with toilet. On the lower ground floor there is a utility room with washing machine, tumble drier and fridge for the 'catch of the day'. The large patio with barbecue overlooks the garden, field and the river complete with kingfishers great for relaxing during the day and perhaps some al-fresco dining in the evening.
Within walking distance is the village of Folles with a bar, restaurant, shop and post office. Nearby is a lake with beach facilities, bar, crazy golf, pedalos and fishing. Bessines and La Souterraine are both twenty minutes away by car offering a great choice of bars, restaurants, shops, tourist offices and markets. Limoges famous for its porcelain is a forty minute drive away and is well worth a visit. Don't miss the indoor meat market with its wonderful local produce.
Limousin lies roughly in the center of France and has preserved much of its natural beauty. It is a region of hills, river valleys and lakes, high plateau and forest, great feudal fortresses, Renaissance chateau and medieval towns and villages.
The house is in the Haute Vienne with its amazing diversity in its landscapes and unspoilt natural habitats. The chestnut forests of the newly-created Regional Nature Park of Perigord/Limousin alternate with the moorlands and peat beds of the Ambazac mountains. And of course it is the original place where the Limousin cattle are bred.

As the River Gartempe runs along the bottom of the field, fishing is very close at hand. Catch some rainbow or brown trout for the BBQ, or for the coarse fishermen there are barbel, chubb, roach, zander and some very fine specimens of carp. Anytime you fancy a break, the kitchen and a cup of tea are 1 minute away from the river bank! The village of Folles is about a five-minute walk away and has a local pub with restaurant, church, a shop, where you can buy fishing permits post office. The surrounding countryside is ideal for walking; there are a couple of scenic circular walks to do that start from the village. About a 10 minute car drive will take you to a lake which has a beach area where in the Summer time you can swim or hire out pedalos. Or you can fish, play crazy golf then simply relax with a drink at the bar and enjoy the atmosphere. Canoeing is very popular and this can be done in the local river, where you can hire a kayak and take lessons. Saint Pardoux is a very large lake about twenty minutes away. Several parts of the lake have been turned into beach areas, with the usual facilities of pedalos, swimming and cafes. Also canoes, sailing boats, water-skiing and windsurfing are available. There are several small towns within a 20-minute car drive, having tourist information centres, shops and restaurants. Limoges is approx. 40 minutes drive from the house. The old town is full of character. Wander through the famous Meat Market, then visit the museums and world-famous porcelain shops.
