The Le Coeur Experience

Geoff and June Barnsley, Yorkshire, England
Review Submitted: July 7, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We have enjoyed many holidays in France but none more so than the time we spent recently at La Courede, near Compreignac in the Haute Vienne. Le Coeur is a truly delightful cottage and has everything that you need for a very comfortable stay. It was wonderful to wake in the morning to delightful views of the rolling countryside then take a peaceful stroll in the forest just over the road or simply relax in the garden.

There is lots to see and do in the immediate area: Lac St. Pardoux, a ten minute drive away with its beautiful views and sandy beaches; Compreignac, just two minutes by car, has shops including a small supermarket, an excellent boulangerie and boucherie, (not to mention the bar where we were given a warm welcome!)

Suzanne, the owner was more than helpful from start to finish. She provided leaflets in the property with lots of ideas for trips further afield. We particularly enjoyed the city of Limoges and we will never forget our moving visit to Oradour sur Glane. The situation of Le Coeur is ideal; the beauty and peacefulness of the countryside with the A20 only fifteen minutes by car enabling quick access to the wider area.

Thankyou for a wonderful stay we shall certainly return next year.
