Further gardens and garden furniture are available for use and in the further garden you will find a superb heated swimming pool ( 8m x 4) which has a clear water system that is cleansed with an electric sterilizer, so no chlorine is used.  It has a jet at the step end which opens for use as a spa, and a night light for evening entertaining.  The pool is set in a lovely paved area with surrounding lawns, has sun loungers for relaxation and a gazebo cover for shade,  and for the more energetic - a grassed area for playing badminton.

Also on the ground floor there are 2 bathrooms, one  with a large walk in shower, wash hand basin, bidet, toilet and electric heater,  and another with bath (shower over), toilet and wash hand basin.  On the first floor there is  large double bedroom with lovely antique furniture, another double room with the option of twin beds or a double bed,and also a twin bedroom with full size single beds and enough room to put a small child's bed if required (up to 4 years old) in any of the bedrooms.

There are many places to visit in the area, and you will find brochures and guides at the cottage.  Only 15 minutes drive you will find the Chateau de Montbrun, you must also follow the trail of Richard the Lion Heart and visit Chalus, only a short distance away. On Wednesday morning you can visit the market at Piegut-Pluviers one of the oldest and biggest street markets in France, just park anywhere!

Of course a visit to Limoges, the capital of the Limousin, famous for its porcelain and enamel is essential. A very popular tourist attraction is Oradour sur Glane a village that was destroyed by the Germans in 1944 but has been left as a memorial to those that were massacred. Well worth a visit, but take a hankie.  Watersport enthusiasts will find all they need in the well-equipped beached lakes to utilise their energy, or just relax.  Many lakes being ideal locations for fishing as are the lovely rivers in the area.  A good day trip is Bussiere Galant where there is a lake with a small beach and crazy golf, and there is also velorail which is well worth a trip if it is dry.
