Bedrooms / Bathrooms
Choose from 6 stylish bedrooms...
The house has recently been restored to incorporate 6 bedrooms, 5 of which have private en-suite bathrooms. The ground-floor bedroom and bathroom are accessible for wheelchairs. We think the bedrooms are stunning – most have original oak flooring, items of furniture made from sustainable local timber, comfortable beds, and huge windows to make the most of that view. All of our beds are singles (perfect for mixed groups) but we can make any up as doubles to suit your requirements. Furthermore, we are happy to add a 3rd single bed into two of the rooms, at no extra cost.
Every room in the house has central heating, so you can enjoy the wealth of activities that the region has to offer in winter.
We consider ourselves a `Child-friendly Holiday Destination` - being a young family ourselves, we understand the pressures (and pleasures!) of taking the little ones on holiday. We can provide some of those `bulky` items that are difficult to pack for a holiday (travel cots, high-chairs, toys, baby baths, stair gate...) - just let us know what you need when booking and we will do our best to provide what you need.

Living Areas
Put your feet up in the cosy lounge...
Adjoining the kitchen is the comfortable lounge, where guests can look out onto the peaceful Limousin countryside. Here you can relax in front of the satellite television (with DVD player), or chat to friends in comfort. Both of the sofas can also be converted into comfortable beds. There is also a wood-burning stove - great for reading a book in front of on a chilly winters` evening.
We are happy to provide DVDs and books for the use of our guests - including fiction and stories for children. You will also find useful wildlife reference books and games for the kids (or grown-ups!).
There is access for wheelchair users to the garden / terrace area via French windows.

Kitchen / Dining
Eat amongst friends in the kitchen...
The homely kitchen is fully equipped to meet all of your culinary needs. You will find a big gas oven and hob - useful for large groups who wish to cook and eat their food together. There are also all of the other utensils / facilities that you would expect to find in a modern kitchen - dishwasher, microwave, fridge/freezer…
The centre-piece of this great kitchen has to be the huge kitchen table, which can seat up to 14 people on benches, also made from a local sustainable timber source.
There is the possibility that we can provide meals (or locally-made ready meals) for a minimum number of people.
|
|
Outside
Step outside onto the terrace and enjoy the garden...
Imagine yourself relaxing on the terrace (a real sun trap!) on a warm summer`s evening, drinking the local wine and gazing at the lovely countryside beyond the house... or waking up with the early morning light and doing a spot of bird watching from your own back garden... or just playing with your children on the spacious lawn...
There is a large table and barbeque for guests who love alfresco dining.
Please note that we only provide environmentally friendly cleaning products for your use.

The owners of Vacances Vertes les Belles, Howard and Anna Chambers, live at the nearby farm of Las Combas and are confident that you that you too will be charmed by the beauty of this gorgeous part of France.
