Description of facilities: The cottage retains its original fireplace and oak-beamed ceilings, combining traditional French living with modern comforts. Thermostatically-controlled radiators are located throughout, making it an ideal place to stay at any time of year.
Description inside property: Stay in our delightful holiday cottage in the commune of St Junien la Bregere, set in the rolling Limousin countryside. We are an hour from Limoges & its airport and just 20 minutes from Vassivière, one of France’s largest lakes - a great location for outdoor pursuits.
Our cottage is in the final stages of renovation with our first guests arriving in July. It has been well-insulated with electric heating throughout, and can be occupied all year round. It makes an ideal base for two, either for holidays or whilst house-hunting and renovating property.
Set on two floors, the cottage opens into an open-plan kitchen and dining area, with fitted units including a washing machine, plus dining table. In the living area is a sofa and armchair and TV. The original fireplace houses a wood-burning fire.
Upstairs is the bedroom, arranged en-suite with a shower, WC and washbasin. There is ample hanging and storage space.
Outside, there is a parking and seating area to the front of the cottage. The secluded garden makes an excellent sun-trap with views across open countryside.
It's the perfect place to get away from stressful living and practise your French on our friendly neighbours!
Description outside property: The cottage’s south-west facing garden is completely secluded with views across open countryside. The garden has a table, chairs, parasol and barbecue. Off-road parking is available directly outside the cottage.

Description of local area and activities: Description of local area and activities: Just four hours by car from Paris, Limousin is a world away from crowds and tourism, remaining one of France’s best-kept secrets. With its unspoilt countryside and ample lakes, it’s a wonderful location for outdoor pursuits.
The region is made up of three departments - Creuse to the east, Haute Vienne to the west and Corrèze to the south.
Situated on the edge of the Creuse and Haute Vienne, Montayaud forms part of the commune of St Junien la Brégère, located on the D940 between the towns of Bourganeuf and Peyrat-le-Chateau. Both towns are about five miles away and have a range of amenities including boulangeries, boucheries, supermarkets, pharmacies, banks and post offices.
The Creuse will appeal especially to those who are fond of outdoor activities, especially watersports and fishing. The area’s greatest attraction is undoubtedly Lac de Vassivière, about 20 minutes away by car from the cottage. At 1,100 hectares and with about 30 miles of sandy beaches, Vassivière is one of the largest lakes in France ands is an ideal place for fishing, water sports, walking, bird-watching, cycling or simply relaxing. It also has a gallery of modern art, the National Centre of Art. The smaller lake of St Hélène is also nearby.
Limousin was at the heart of the French resistance during the second world war. In nearby Peyrat-le-Chateau is the Musée de la Resistance, whilst further afield near Limoges airport is the village of Oradour-sur-Glane, left untouched as a permanent memorial following the massacre of its 642 inhabitants in 1944.
For those into arts and crafts, you can watch tapestries and custom-made carpets being produced at the Musée Departmental de la Tapisserie at Aubusson. Limoges itself is renowned for porcelain and enamel - to sample the wares, head to the Bernardaud porcelain factory. The Musée National Adrien-Dubouche charts the
history of enamel from early Greek and Chinese works to the present day.
If you want to get lost for the afternoon, try the Le Labyrinthe, the world’s largest maze at Gueret, which also has picnic areas and a giant chess board.
The pretty medieval town of St Leonard de Noblat, which is about half way between Limoges from Montayaud, makes for a pleasant afternoon out, as does the busier town of Eymoutiers to the south, from where you can take the train into Limoges.

| |
|
Notes: The local area, especially Lac de Vassiviere, is superb for walking, fishing and watersports.
There is also a tennis court for hire in St Junien la Bregere. |
