Beautifully Restored Farmhouse With Stunning Pool and HotTub. A great games room
'La Maison de la Souris' is a beautiful, detached and private stone-built French farmhouse recently converted and equipped to a very high standard to provide exceptional holiday accommodation in the Haute Vienne, part of the Limousin region. The addition of a nine metre in-ground pool and hot tub help make this property the perfect location for your holiday in France. The property, which stands in 2.8 hectares of land, has four large bedrooms (three doubles, one twin and including the signature bedroom... a vaulted 9m room with a walk in wet room with free standing bath), a spacious family bathroom, a double height lounge equipped with Digital TV, Sky+ HD satellite, DVD player, free WiFi internet access and even an HP Printer for the day when you've forgotten to print your Ryanair boarding card. A wood burning stove will keep you warm and toasty when the evenings begin to cool. Then there is a kitchen to die for... 9m long, beautiful oak flooring, a three-oven Range master duel fuel cooker, a large fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer along with every other convenience you would expect. Outside, the property overlooks a beautiful new 9x4m pool, an accompanying seven seat hot tub, outdoor dining furniture and loungers and a large gas BBQ. There are even hi-fi speakers so you can provide your own soundtrack to your time by the pool. The summer weather in this part of France has more in common with the south of France and with temperatures regularly over 30 degrees a pool should be high on your list of 'must haves'. Situated in a peaceful hamlet with views of rolling countryside, the property is 3km from the nearest village which is served by a restaurant, boulangerie and village store. Chalus is the closest town, being 5km to the west and providing a large supermarket, restaurants, butchers, bakers and other shops as well as two ATMs. Being in French lake-land, there are also several freshwater lakes in the area. Most have man-made sandy beaches and other leisure facilities and are very popular. Whether your interest is in walking, cycling, fishing, horse riding... or you just like the idea of relaxing and doing as little as possible in a beautiful part of the world then 'The Mouse House' is the ideal venue to make your holiday special.
**New for 2015... our games and party room which provides a 7' slate bed pool table, 55" Smart TV with Bluetooth soundbar, an air hockey table, plenty of comfy seating, party lights and an additional bathroom**
**New for 2017...a beautiful balcony leading from the master bedroom with additional seating, ideal for the first cuppa in the morning whilst enjoying the magnificent views**

We loved it here, we had 2 families of 4 sharing and there was still plenty of room. With the pool, hot tub and games room you have everything to keep the little ones (and adults) entertained. The added bonus is that it's located in a beautiful part of the world.

Thank you Jonathan, I'm really pleased you enjoyed your stay at the Mouse House, and thank you for your kind comments. Thank you also for looking after the property, very much appreciated. I hope to welcome you back another time. Kind Regards, Andrea
This was our second time staying at The Mouse House and once again it did not disappoint. We had 3 generations of us staying at the house and there was plenty of space for all of us. It was very hot while we were there so the pool was perfect for cooling off. Check in was super simple with the key lock box. The house was really well equipped with everything we could need. Steve who check in in the pool was really helpful and gave us some great advise for places to visit. Another wonderful stay.

Beautiful luxury farmhouse with fantastic pool & games room
The property is as beautiful as the pictures show - outside space with pool and hot tub is great but the added bonus of the indoor games room for rainy days or cooler evenings is fantastic. Very quiet area so a perfect idyllic escape - we didn't feel the need to venture out much. A few minor maintenance issues but owner responded immediately and their "guy on the ground" was around straight away to sort it; superb communication and friendly host. Highly recommend and hope to return.
First time abroad for our two families who came together on holiday here and we loved this place. There was lots for the children to do. We managed to explore the area a little including Châlus and the Perigord-Limousin National park but we were also really happy to hang out by the pool all day too. Property was clean, communication with Andrea and the person who manages it was easy. We didn’t have any issues
Heerlijk zwembad, hottub en leuke spelkamer. alle rust en ruimte zowel buiten als binnen. Volledige ingerichte keuken. Gastvrij ontvangstpakket en snelle reactie eigenaar. Wij hebben genoten.

Thank you Erica, so pleased you had a good time. Kind Regards, Andrea x
Très belle propriété, au calme. Très bien équipée, pour la cuisine comme pour les loisirs. La grande piscine est vraiment très bien après une chaude journée. La suite parentale est superbe, avec son beau salon sur le balcon et une très belle salle de bain, mais très chaude (en sous-pente et au Sud): des stores seraient les bienvenus!

Thank you Roman, I’m glad you had a good time at the house and I really appreciate your comments about the blinds. Many thanks and I hope I can welcome you back again next year… will do blinds too, then you have the choose. Kind Regards and thank you again Ronan.
We enjoyed a fabulous week at this villa. Lovely location you feel away for it all but still within a short distance of the supermarket & restaurants. It’s the best equipped villa we’ve stayed. There was 5 of us staying and it provided everything we could wish for. We’ll definitely be returning.

Thank you so much for your comments Alison. So pleased you had a great time. We would love to welcome you back anytime. Thanks again,

De woning is niet heel proper en er zijn wat mankementjes (heel wat lampen werkten niet, de filter van de jacuzzi werkt niet erg goed, de tegels rond het zwembad liggen los, de plastic wand vh zwembad hangt los in de hoeken, kamers kunnen niet verduisterd worden ...) MAAR, we beleefden een zalige week in the Mouse House. Het huis is groot, mooi ingericht, heeft hele leuke faciliteiten (game room!), zowel de eigenares als het koppel dat de woning beheert, zijn heel vriendelijk en toegankelijk, het weer was goed ... kortom, wij hadden een geweldige vakantie!!

Relaxing Holiday
I was looking for a relaxing holiday in the sun and I got it. The house, the surroundings and the peace were perfect. La Maison de la Souris is very well equipped, well thought and beautifully decorated. Having stayed in many gites, they can be sometimes disappointing with the quality of the furniture and kitchen equipment but not in this house. It is obvious that the owners have taken care to make it a home from home. We hardly moved from the house as it had everything we were looking for. The adults were able to relax with good books only interrupted by dips in the pool and my teenage son had fun in the pool but also with the Xbox and pool/air hockey table as well as listening to his music (he never once said he was bored!). I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY.

The Mouse House
My family and I stayed at the Mouse House and really didn't want to leave after a week!
If you want a relaxed holiday staying in beautiful accommodation with great facilities in a rural location then I can't fault this place.
Fabulous!

An amazing house in a beautiful place
We have just returned from a wonderfully relaxing holiday in the most luxurious farmhouse in one of the most beautifully scenic parts of France I have ever visited. All our needs as a family with two children were thoughtfully catered for, from the pool to the hot tub to the air hockey table and even the Xbox - our children were spoilt. The farmhouse was stunning with everything you could ever need to make your stay like a home from home! The surrounding area was a delight with plenty to see and do (check out Espace Hermeline with it's inland beach, velo rail and 20 metre zip wire over the lake just 5 minutes away in Bussière-Galant). I can't recommend 'Le Maison de la Souris' enough and we will definitely be returning again soon. Thank you Andrea for making our holiday so perfect!

Thank you for reading about my French holiday home. I fell in love with this part of France some years ago and when 'The Mouse House' became available I knew that it would be the perfect place for me and then my guests to enjoy and appreciate fully the beauty of the Haute Vienne. Wherever I have traveled, I have always expected high standards and in renovating and furnishing my home I have aimed to emulate those standards... thus, the bedrooms, the living spaces, the pool are all as I would like to find them were I someone else's guest. I love it here, I hope you do too.
