The Old Granary - lovely little gite for 2/3 with splash pool

If you fancy a break in the Correze, you’re planning a tour around France, a house-hunting trip, or just want to get away from it all – we have just the place for you! Set in a tiny hamlet of less than ten houses, high in the hills and surrounded by forest, you’ll find The Old Granary. About 5km from Chamberet and 10km from the beautiful lake at Treignac, this newly renovated, lovely old stone barn is situated behind L’Ancien Fournil, which used to be the hamlet’s communal bread oven, but which is now our home.

The Old Granary is ideal for a couple (with perhaps one child), is completely self-contained and has an open plan design. The double bedroom, which is furnished in pine, is on an open mezzanine to the rear and this overlooks the lounge, in which you’ll find a settee (which opens out to an additional bed for one, if required), a dining table and kitchenette.

A DVD player and CD player are provided with a selection of DVDs and CDs for your use, but please bring your own in case you don't like our taste! There are also some books and board games. A small cloakroom at the rear leads into a bathroom fitted with shower, wc and hand basin. Please note that we only supply hand towels, so kindly bring your own shower and beach towels. The cost of electricity and gas is included all year round.

Kitchen facilities include a sink, fridge, two gas rings, a mini oven and utensils. Please be aware that there is no dishwasher or washing machine.

The stone terrace, which is not overlooked, has patio furniture and a barbecue for your use during the summer months.

You would also be welcome to make use of our private splash pool during the summer months, but please be aware that this would be at your own risk as the pool is unsupervised. The pool is of the inflatable variety; size: 1m deep, 4.5m diameter. It is normally set up from about the end of May and is used only by guests of The Old Granary and by ourselves when our guests are out and about.

Chamberet is the nearest town with facilities, such as a supermarket, shops, restaurants and bars and this is approximately 6km (4miles) down the valley. It also has a lake and an outdoor swimming pool.

Treignac, officially designated one of the most beautiful villages in France, is approximately 10km away. The River Vezere runs through the town and the beach on Treignac lake is just 4km from the town centre.

Through the hamlet itself, there are walking and mountain bike trails and there is an equestrian centre only 1km (less than a mile) away. You are well placed for visiting the lake at Treignac and all the other sights in the Correze.
