About this property

River Cottage: Private Lakeside Gite In Idyllic Location. A Great Place To Relax

At Gites de Laprade we are focused on providing you with your ideal holiday in this outstanding area of France, whether it is total relaxation you are looking for or a more energetic time, then we can certainly help you get what you want. The Limousin is famous for it's forests and lakes and we have both here at Gites de Laprade, our location in the Haute Vienne region, is quite unique, the river Couze which surrounds our property, runs quietly by the gite and feeds our 2 acre lake (unfortunately this means the location is unsuitable for children), this is well stocked with carp up to 35lb+ and colourful Koi carp, maybe you could try your hand at a bit of fishing, we are also happy to welcome your dog. This beautiful area abounds with wildlife, deer, wild boar and buzzards are easily spotted and the mix of forests and lakes make for perfect walking, cycling and bird-watching. If you are a budding artist then this is also the perfect area, it was certainly good enough for Fred Yates, he lived in our local village of Rancon until his death in 2009

About the host

Hosted by Taunya Smith

Host profile image
We are, Brian and Taunya Smith, a couple from the North of England, now living permanently in France. We had a small hill farm in the Pennines in West Yorkshire and, as Brian wanted to take early retirement, we decided to move!!!!

We would appreciate the opportunity to welcome you to share our 'Little piece of Paradise'.

Why they chose this property

When we decided on France, Brian's only demand was that he had a lake to fish in. This house more than fulfils his wishes as, our house is actually built on the lake and, we are surrounded by a river.

It obviously fulfils our guests wishes as well as we have lovely people we now call friends, who visit us time after time

What makes this property unique

We didn't originally plan to have gites but, this property came with two buildings, perfect for our friends and family to stay in. So, we did the renovations and now we love welcoming our family and friends old and yet to meet, to our beautiful, tranquil home!
