Looked forward to staying in Lisa and Andrew's gite and were not disappointed.
This gite was clean, well appointed, comfortable nothing was lacking, it was lovely just to sit outside having a coffee and listening to the bird's Lisa and Andrew were very friendly hosts and willing to help if you had a problem. The situation of the gite was very nice, in a pretty garden with a lake over the stream.We would recommend this gite.

Lovely property by a babbling brook
My wife and I have stayed in a fair number of VRBO's, and we must say that this one was one of the nicest. It's located in a quiet rural area, surrounded by lovely mature trees full of songbirds, which suited our tastes to a "t". Nearby towns and villages have plenty of services and there are many attractive days out to be had in the area. The house is exactly as presented in the listing - fully modern comforts, but with loads of country charm. Big plusses: the comfortable beds and the cosy woodstove. All made for very pleasant evenings by the fire. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating and while only a few steps away, were very discreet and unobtrusive. All in all, a great retreat for anyone looking for a lovely rural retreat.

A Little Corner of Heaven
Didn't think it was possible to find somewhere better than the gite we had just left. Lots of thought put into equipping the cottage. Good quality comfortable beds and sofas. The private lake setting was sublime. So many bird calls to identify and even saw a coypu taking his evening swim. Totally relaxing. Away from it all but just 6 minutes drive to the village.

Absolutely beautiful
Absolutely beautiful place in a gorgeous setting. Spotlessly clean and everything you could possibly need was thought of. Very well equipped, more like a home from home. Huge, comfy bed in main bedroom. Plenty of outside space and very peaceful. The area alongside the lake was the perfect spot to sit and read a book whilst enjoying the sun. Good communication and plenty of information given about the local area before our stay. Lots of folders at the house with information and leaflets about things to do. We had a fabulous week and would love to visit again sometime.

The cottage is very nice, the owner is helpful and the location is perfect. It is excellent as a starting point for making walking trips in the surroundings. Haute-Vienne has a large number of marked walking routes. And you can also make a trip to Limoges.

Superb gite
Really Really good. Spotlessly clean and well prepared. Furniture and fittings of a standard you'd expect in a home rather than a rental. Totally equipped - including firewood - just had to walk in. The private lake is a real treat. Very well presented. Plenty of wildlife - and one of the neighbours must have a pack of hounds whose occasional howling was wonderfully atmospheric!!

This is a wonderful cottage, everything possible is provided. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable bed. It is always a nice surprise to find crockery etc matching Lisa & Andy have done a great job. They were not at all intrusive but willing to help if needed. It snowed and was cold whilst we were there so the plentiful supply of firewood provided was very welcome, as was arriving to the log fire burning, very thoughtful!

A stunning property in a tranquil location
I can truthfully say that La Petite Maison is the best gîte we have ever stayed in. The kitchen is equipped with every pot, pan and utensil you could imagine (including a Dolce Gusto coffee machine) and we were able to drink our wine from crystal glasses! There is a larger than average fridge/freezer, more than adequate for a generous shop at the local Intermarché. We were lucky enough to be able to spend most of our time outside but the lounge area is cosy and attractive. The bedrooms are furnished with plenty of drawer and hanging space (with an abundance of coat hangers) and the bed is very comfortable. The bathroom is modern with an efficient shower. We were impressed with the items provided in both kitchen and bathroom eg handwash, loo roll, kitchen roll, cleaning detergents…. Lisa and Andy were there to welcome us and show us round the property. We had total privacy both in our garden and round the lake but they were always on hand if we needed help or advice. There is a wealth of interesting places to visit in the area and we did venture out every day but it was such a pleasure to return to the peace, tranquility and comfort of La Petite Maison. Thank you Lisa and Andy for creating this perfect ‘home from home’.
