Authentic French Country Barn - in The Limousin, France “Lake District”.

This is a lovely property with a great, friendly and communicative host.

We were not disappointed, the barn was superb, the photos do not do it justice. Deborah is an excellent host, very considerate and friendly and will go the extra mile to make your stay a success. Gourdon-Murat is a good location to explore the area and get a good idea of rural french life.

Endroit merveilleux. La grange Fleurie est magique. Tout est beau simple. Propre.. Un calme géant. Deborah a une superbe joie de vivre. Adorable et super sympa. Séjour a renouveler.

La grange fleurie est tout simplement un endroit extraordinaire pour vivre simplement, confortablement, et se ressourcer pleinement. Deborah vous y accueille avec simplicité et un humour tout britannique. Quant au plateau des Millevaches, c’est un émerveillement de tous les instants. J’y reviendrai c’est sur !

We visited in August 2019. We have been staying in similar accommodation every year in France for 10-20 years and this was our most enjoyable yet. Deborah ensured we had a very warm welcome with every possible need catered for. We certainly felt at home and did not feel like just the next group to stay. The location was quiet and peaceful, despite being on the D32 road, we found the traffic to be very light, with a mix of cyclists, tractors and local inhabitants. We would sit on the patio for meals, to the side of the property and either observe the handsome bovine neighbours in the field adjacent or exchange a wave with a passing local cyclist or driver. We enjoyed the 5-10 minute walk to the village tennis court. It was almost always vacant and we played most days. The surface was somewhat short of that at Roland-Garros (we imagine), having a few idiosyncratic bounces and troughs but it was perfectly suitable for social mixed doubles. Deborah had provided mountain bikes and we greatly enjoyed using these to explore the hilly tracks and roads. We cycled to Bugeat and Lake Viam and the cascades at Pradines, and to a very typical rural lunch stop at Lestards. By car, we were most impressed with the quiet roads for visiting Treignac, Lake Bariousses and Eymoutiers and we had a lovely visit by train for a day in Limoges. We also walked along the quiet rural tracks and through the woods at the back of the accommodation. Evening meals were taken either in one of the many restaurants within a 30 minute drive, or sitting on the patio beside the barbecue watching the dippers catching insects near the brook, the jays and raptors flying between the woods or the bats performing their acrobatic displays overhead. We bought supplies from the supermarkets in Bugeat, Treignac and Eymoutiers and enjoyed an evening of live guitar music in Bugeat. All in all, we found the accommodation, the location and the warmth of the welcome to be of a high level, the like of which we have rarely experienced.
