Situated by the bank of a picturesque river, this idyllic, rustic longère cottage enjoys stunning views of the rolling countryside of the east Vienne, just on the edge of the Limousin. From almost every room there are patio doors to access the front terrace, to sit and absorb the peace and tranquillity of this unique location. Unwind in the beauty and simplicity of the natural surroundings where the only sounds are the gentle burbling of the river and birdsong.

In the summer the river is perfect for paddling to cool off, or to spend the day fishing. The surrounding countryside provides delightful walks and a wonderful source of inspiration for the keen photographers or artists among you. For children the environment is reminiscent of “Swallows and Amazons”.
