Description
My wife, Cyndi and I have now moved permanently to France to run our small holiday business. Our aim is to not only provide great accommodation, but also be on hand to ensure guest s have all the information about the local events and attractions whilst they are staying with us, to ensure that they have a great holiday experience.
The cottage, barn and grounds were purchased by us in January 2011, and set in a very lovely secluded and naturally pretty location in an acre of private grounds. With both natural hedging and fencing to ensure privacy, each gite also has its own private fenced garden and semi in ground 4.4 meter octagonal solar-heated swimming pool for your exclusive use, along with BBQ and lounging and outdoor eating areas. Well behaved dogs most welcome at no extra cost.
Liberte Bosquet Gites, are perfectly sited just 5 minutes drive, 30 minutes walk from the beautiful chateau village of Jumilhac Le Grand and only 12 minutes drive from Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche, which has all amenities that may be required 6 supermarkets, hospital, restaurants, shops, markets and cultural events and entertainment. Both of which are not overly commercialized regarding tourists, but at the same time very welcoming to foreign visitors, which tend to be either Dutch or English. We have developed the grounds with an eye for both a natural environment as well as total privacy, making it perfect for those who do not like to be in public view whilst enjoying the lovely weather.
