Limousin Holiday Gites

"La Porcherie," a high quality gite
near St Leonard de Noblat

Swimming Pool
1 bedroom, sleeps 2/4

Open all year round

    About our gite (sleeps 2/4)

Nestled into the tranquil landscape, ‘La Porcherie’ is a high-quality gite offering accommodation for up to four people, in the hamlet of Villemonteix, which is at the gateway to the Monts et Barrages National Park.

Recently renovated to a very high standard, the building has kept all the character one would expect in a building of this nature. Wood beams and original stone walls are balanced with the comfort of modern conveniences, resulting in a light and airy place to stay.

The accommodation comprises:

One bedroom (double bed), bathroom (with a large shower cabin), and an open-plan sitting-room/kitchen.

A sofa-bed (double) provides the sleeping arrangement for the third and fourth guests.

The kitchen is fitted with a quality cooker, microwave and washing machine. A TV/DVD is provided (with a selection of DVD’s) and access to the owners’ book library is given for the duration of your stay.

The gite is available for rent all year, and if you decide to come and experience the Limousin in low or mid-season we can assure your warmth and comfort.

The bathroom is equipped with an electric heater that fills the room with warm air in a very short time.

The main body of the gite is heated by means of a wood burner in the sitting room. A daily allowance of wood is included in the tariff during the appropriate seasons.

A small private garden area with terrace, seating and barbeque and a swimming pool (24 x 12 foot)

The property is set in a private garden of over an acre which includes a small organic garden, and produce will be available to guests depending on the season. Free range chickens roam the grounds and eggs (depending on availability) will also be available.

Due to the resident chickens and cats, we regret that we are unable to allow pets.

Facilities such as a cot can be provided for infants upon request.

The gite is non—smoking throughout.

Additional bedrooms are available within the main house at an additional cost by arrangement.

Longer terms rentals can be accommodated by arrangement, and if you are looking to buy and/or renovate a property in the area then the owners, Chris and Annie Taylor (who live on site) will be available to offer advice and encouragement !

About our region

Local attractions include (but are not limited to) a beach (5 minutes away) at Lac de St Helene, horse riding, fishing, walking, cycling, and water skiing. Slightly further afield you will find Lac de Vassiviere, the Plateau de Mille Vaches and the volcanic region of the Massif Central to the east and, of course, Limoges to the west.

The medieval town of St Leonard de Noblat is about 10 minutes drive from the gite, and offers facilities from local shops, to a cinema, and museums of railways and papermaking, as well as restaurants and a weekly market.

Getting there

The area is convenient for travel by road, train and air. Travelling to the region by car takes approximately 5/6 hours from Le Havre, or 7/8 hours from Calais. There are daily flights from Stansted to Limoges with Ryanair. Hire cars are available at the airport.
