About this property

La Maison du Lac sits on the edge of a tiny hamlet nestled in the heart of chestnut country with dominant panoramic views over ancient woodland and Grand Jaques the tower of Chateau Montbrun which rises from the trees - the chateau to which Richard coeur de Lion was brought having been fatally wounded in Chalus. The countryside around here resonates with history and the local area is interlaced with many foot and cycle paths by which the area can be explored - the most interesting of which is surely the mown track leading through cornfields directly from the house to the Chateau bar/ restaurant which offers live music on Friday evenings. A fenced lake and marronier which belongs to the property, and which can be seen from the terrace and is only a 2 minute walk along the village road is accessible to our guests as a place to relax and forage (although fishing is not allowed). The local village, with basic provisions, is 2 mins away by car and there are several larger towns with supermarkets and restaurants within a ten minute drive. Should the table tennis, pool or many shelves of DVDs/books not prove entertainment enough many further activities such as go-karting ( the longest circuit in the Limousin) paintball, acro-bois and swimming lakes can be found within a 20 minute drive from the house and the Dordogne with all of it's own attractions is right on the doorstep. (NB. Please note that the pool is only heated from July to Mid September)

Relaxing, peaceful location

We were two families that had a lovely week staying at this wonderful, well-equipped property. The heated pool was the order of the day, every day! Grounds are perfect for relaxing by the pool with a good book or playing badminton, table tennis, etc. The flower garden was full of butterflies, and spotting lizards was an added bonus for kids and adults alike 😊 Definitely recommend!

Dos familias en verano

Hemos estado dos familias con hijos de entre 5 y 8 años. La casa muy agradable tanto por dentro, muy equipada y con varios detalles, como por fuera, con la piscina climatizada, el terreno o la mesa de ping-pong. La disponibilidad del lago con los barquitos también es un punto a favor, algo especial que no ofrecen otras casas. Los anfitriones muy amables y dispuestos a solucionar todas las dudas. Muy recomendable.

Great holiday

We spent 2 fabulous weeks staying in this beautiful house. The views were to die for, pool got lots of use from all of us and the only downside was that we had to leave! Very helpful hosts which made it even better. The area is lovely and we found loads to do from kayaking, visiting local chateaus, boat trips, sight seeing.. the list goes on. Highly recommend as long as there is space in the diary for us to revisit!

Fantastic ‘get away from it all’ holiday location

We had a great family week here. It is a perfect spot to disconnect from everything and relax in the pool. Beautiful house - plenty of room for a family with three teenagers. Thanks Matt & Helen!

About the host

Hosted by Matt Bradley

We have lived in the region for more than 30 yrs and have brought up 3 sons here. Alfie the eldest, now lives in England where he is known by some as the creator and sculptor of the Knife Angel. Matt, who was an actor in the UK, and not wanting to be left behind in the world of celebrity, inveigles himself when he can onto any TV shows filming in the area and can be seen on New Life in the Sun, throwing rocks at his wife's foot and on Place in the Sun talking about gypsies. He is now a full-time hypnotherapist. Helen is the wind beneath his wings.

Why they chose this property

If you are looking for tranquility and relaxation then this property is the perfect one for you It is situated in the Parc Regional Périgord-Limousin in a very quiet hamlet with direct access to many signed footpaths through the forests which surround it, including one which goes directly to the Chateau bar! Because it is situated only kilometres from the Dordogne it is the perfect base to discover that area too without whilst being able to escape to somewhere less busy at night-time once the signt-seeing is done. ,Apart from the heated pool the property has a ping-pong table and an area of flat grass which provides the perfect for kid's to play ball games as well as a bbq and large shaded S facing terrace with dining table. There is a private gravelled parking area for your cars(s).
