Built of granite nearly 200 years ago, and situated in a small tranquil country hamlet, Les Hirondelles, a 3 double bedroom (2 of the doubles can be converted to twin) farmhouse has been sympathetically renovated, retaining many of the original oak beams downstairs and with a granite fireplace in the huge eat in kitchen.  The kitchen is fully equipped, there is a luxurious bathroom, with both a large shower and a roll top bath.

 
There is a large courtyard garden with BBQ, Table and benches, and secure storage for bicycles or canoes and ample parking.
The hamlet itself has no shops, but the nearest town is only 2 km away, with a boulangerie, 3 bars, boucherie and small supermarket.
 
 

                       


 

1 hr from Limoges Airport, or a seven hour drive from Calais, not the quickest place to access, but that is part of its charm, situated in a small hamlet of 15 properties, including some small working farms, Les Hirondelles (named after the abundant swallows that frequent our barns all summer) is a peaceful escape from the hurley burley of the rest of the world.


Only 15 minutes from the departmental town of Gueret, which has all major conveniences, half an hour from the medieval town of Aubusson, famous for its tapestry industry, Marsat is surrounded by beautiful countryside and wildlife, but a mere 10 minutes from the main road between Gueret and Montlucon which is just over the border in the Auvergne Region.
 
Views of the Creuse

                                         

The Creuse Valley– the hidden heart of the Limousin in central France, where blue sky meets green hills, and beautiful unspoilt rivers and lakes lap at the feet of granite cliffs and ancient trees.

 

Stunning scenery, ancient ruins, medieval towns and chateaux are not all of the story however, modern life has not passed this quiet backwater of France by, most lakes have beautiful beaches, complete with café, toilet facilties, childrens play equipment and safe swimming areas. Some lakes are large enough for sailing, windsurfing and waterski.


           

 

      Thousands of km of signposted cycling and hiking trails wind through the undulating hills and forests, most of

      the routes starting and finishing at delightful villages and towns, offering plenty of opportunities to sample

      French cuisine from a selection of bars, brasseries and bistros, where a plat de jour can cost as little as 10 euros.
