Perfect holiday in a beautiful location with fabulous hosts
The cottage is so lovely, comfortable and very well appointed. The location is quiet, peaceful and very beautiful. Jane and Robert were fabulous hosts, friendly, helpful and fun to sit chat and have a drink with. The package of welcome essentials for the fridge etc were very much appreciated, especially arriving on a Sunday afternoon when no shops were open. We hope to come back here very soon, and are looking forward to catching up when we next can visit. We feel we have met some good friends for our future life in nearby Masseret when we eventually move out there (after the pain of renovating our farmhouse and barn)!

Tranquil lovely setting
We had a lovely week at La Porcherie. The gite is lovely, very clean and well decorated with high standard of electrical goods. Jane and Rob , the owners, are friendly and very helpful. We can highly recommend staying at this property. The area is rural and totally unspoilt.

Beautiful gite, quiet oasis
We absolutely loved our stay at La Porcherie from the moment we arrived. A great welcome from Jane and Rob then led into the most relaxing holiday, in a beautiful part of France. For cyclists, it's hilly but traffic free, great training rides - I was one happy Mamil ! The gite was amazing, it had everything we wanted, really well appointed and very comfortable. The garden is a real delight, as is the countryside around the area - we enjoyed many days relaxing and soaking up the sun and nothing was too much trouble for our hosts who when called upon answered all our questions on where to visit and even helped us when our small dog had some issues with the local wildlife! Plenty of beautiful places to visit all within 30 minutes, we can't recommend it enough. Thank you Jane and Rob for our best holiday in France (20 years we've been visiting France too). Merci et bonne chance!

Very relaxing and pretty cottage in the Limousin
Jane and Robert were the perfect hosts. Absolutely everything that anyone could need had been thought of. We loved the tranquility of the setting. There is a large decking area which is fantastic for sitting out on day or night. The large garden is fully fenced in which made it very relaxing for us as we had our dog with us. We would highly recommend visiting this beautiful cottage.
