La Creuse is a truly beautiful part of Central France. It is essentially a heavily wooded rural area with small fields, proper hedgerows and farm animals reared by traditional methods. There is real pleasure to be found walking, cycling and exploring the network of lanes and chemins. There are many lakes to see locally, regular markets in local towns and historical sites worth a visit. The location of Beauvais can be described as secluded and calm. At 500m the air is noticeably clear and unpolluted.

Charming farmhouse in peaceful rural setting

TDJO Derbyshire, UK
Review Submitted: January 10, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
We spent two weeks in this house in August 2007. Of the many houses we have rented over the past six years we think this is the best. The house has been restored to a high standard, and has all that you could need. We all loved the pool, grass area and vegetable patch. In fact, our children loved the vegetable patch so much there were few carrots remaining by the time we left!!

This is the first house we rented in Limousin and the region is wonderful with far fewer holiday makers than other areas of France.

We truly could not recommend this property more. We hope to visit again very soon.

A 2 week holiday at Beauvais Farmhouse

Isa-Jeff Marly le Roi, France
Review Submitted: July 27, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
We are just back from a 2 week holiday at Beauvais farmhouse.
We had a wonderful time there, the house is very comfortable, and furnished with very good taste. Everything is done so that you can feel at home.
The pool is a great plus, so are the ping-pong table, bicycles, and all the books and games provided by the owners.
There are a lot of things to do in the area (visits, sport activities etc.), and there are many restaurants to try!! With 2 kids (ages 14 and 10), we were never bored, and there are still many activities we didn't have time to do (castle and town visits, going to the golf course...).
We would highly recommend this location, and the owners are a wonderful couple, always ready to give good advice.
