Description
Rouge Cottage is the perfect place to stay for a relaxing and peaceful holiday in a pretty French cottage with a private, heated pool and stunning views over the charming countryside of the Limousin region.
At the end of a quiet hamlet on a no through road, Rouge Cottage stands in a beautifully panoramic and rural spot which oozes tranquility. Perfect for families or couples wanting to get away from it all and spend time together in privacy.
A private heated pool with stunning views makes this cottage very special. There is also a magnificent castle tree house for the children to enjoy.
The cottage is petite and cosy with everything you need to make it a holiday to remember. It is decorated in a simple and homely way with individual touches and attention to detail, as well as features such as exposed chestnut beams which give it character and charm.
Two bedrooms upstairs (one double and a triple) and a shower room with a separate toilet. Downstairs it is open plan and contains all you need for cooking and relaxing. A wood burner heats the cottage and makes it cosy in the cooler months.
We provide fresh linen, bath and swimming towels.
Outside there are sunbeds by the pool with a view over the fields of Limousin cattle. There are various seating areas with an outdoor sofa by the pool and chairs on the back terrace, perfect to watch the sun go down with a glass of wine. Table and chairs with a large umbrella to the front of the cottage and barn provide you with a great seating area outdoors to enjoy your meals on warm sunny days. In the barn there is a large trampoline with a safety net, as well as a table tennis table that may be used inside or out.
Supermarkets can be found locally 10 minutes from the cottage. Five minutes away in either direction there is a boulangerie, butchers and restaurant and within only 15 minutes there are two Michelin star restaurants. There are plenty of markets in all the surrounding towns and villages where you can buy fantastic fresh, local produce.
Three swimming lakes are all within 10 minutes of Rouge Cottage with sandy beaches, cafès and tennis courts. At ‘Espace Hermeline’ in Bussiere- Galant, there is swimming, tennis, velorail, a high ropes course, children’s park, crazy golf and more.
The Limousin is wonderful to explore with its rich history and beautiful countryside. Often overlooked and bypassed, the Haute Vienne offers you the perfect piece of rural France to enjoy a family holiday full of relaxation, good food, culture and memories.
The Haute Vienne oozes history with plenty of Chateaux to visit and many within cycling distance of Rouge Cottage. Chalus is only 10 minutes away, where Richard the Lion heart was fatally wounded by a cross bow bolt. 5km from Rouge Cottage is Chateaux Lastours where in the holidays they hold medieval festivals for all the family. Jumilhac Le Grand is an impressive fairy tale château for any younger princesses and knights to explore.
The roads in this region are quiet and safe due to it being the least populated region in France. This makes it a great place to cycle whether you are ‘en famille’ or into clocking up miles on clean well-made roads. Many of the professional teams use the Limousin as a training ground because of the standard of road surface and climate.
There are many local fishing lakes to choose from if you would like to go fishing for the day.
