Property Details of Limousin Gite

If you fancy a romantic break for two in the Correze, you’re planning a tour around France, a house-hunting trip, or just want to get away from it all – we have just the place for you.

Set in a tiny hamlet of less than ten houses, high in the hills and surrounded by forest, you’ll find The Old Granary. About 6km from Chamberet and 14km from the beautiful lake at Treignac, this newly renovated, lovely old stone barn is situated in a private area behind our home.

The Old Granary is ideal for a couple (with perhaps one child), is completely self-contained and has an open plan design. The double bedroom, which is furnished in pine, is on an open mezzanine to the rear and this overlooks the lounge, in which you’ll find a settee (which opens out to an additional bed for one, if required), a dining table and kitchenette.

A DVD player and CD player are provided with a selection of DVDs for your use. There are also some books and board games. TV is French.

A small cloakroom at the rear leads into a shower room fitted with shower, wc, hand basin and cupboard.

Kitchen facilities include a sink, fridge, two gas rings, a mini oven, coffee machine, glassware, crockery and utensils.

The stone terrace, which is not overlooked, has patio furniture and a barbecue for your use during the summer months.

You would also be welcome to make use of our private splash pool during the summer months, but please be aware that this would be at your own risk as the pool is unsupervised.

The pool is of the inflatable variety; size: 1m deep, 4.5m diameter. It is normally set up from about the end of May and is used only by guests of The Old Granary and by ourselves when our guests are out and about.

Another table and chairs and sun loungers are set up near the pool and there is a garden behind The Old Granary for guests use.

Local Area Details

If you are feeling lively the area boasts several water sport activities, such as waterskiing on the nearby lakes, rafting, kayaking and canoeing on the rivers Vezere, Vienne and Dordogne, as well as on the various lakes, where windsurfing is also a popular choice.

The lake at Treignac, which is only 14km from The Old Granary, is ideal for swimming and has a sandy beach which is perfect for those who prefer to do nothing more strenuous than work on their tan.

Table tennis, volley ball and badminton can be played on the beach, where there is also a children's playground. Lifeguards survey the beach during July and August.

For the mountain bikers amongst you there are several VTT trails in the vicinity with some Black runs to test the most seasoned mountain biker. The Mountain Bike Championships were hosted here in June 2004. Mountain bikes can be hired locally.

A local equestrian centre caters for learners and experienced riders alike, both of whom can go trekking on the peaceful woodland trails.

The tranquil Correze is a walker's paradise and Treignac is situated on the GR440 and G46 major official walking routes of France so you will be able to explore to your heart's content the unspoilt rolling hills and forests of the Correze.

There are four golf courses within an hour's drive of Chamberet, two of which have 18 holes and two 9 holes. They are open all year round.

Correze offers 5000km of rivers and streams plus 4000 hectares of lakes and ponds, offering the fisherman carp, bream, tench, pike, perch and trout, amongst other varieties.

There are some very good restaurants in the area, one of which overlooks the lake at Treignac and there are several cafe-bars in Treignac and Chamberet which are very friendly and are super for just sitting taking in the atmosphere and watching the world go by.

There are also some very beautiful villages and sights in the area which are well worth a visit.
