LaBriasse was the perfect location for our holiday The cottage is very peaceful and private with a lovely pool, which was well used in the beautiful weather. We loved the views from the pool across the Correze countryside.
Everything we required was provided, and we really appreciated the welcome pack . Dawn's cottage is comfortable and has character and we really liked exploring the locality and Ayen.

Thank you so very much for your lovely comments! Dawn
The gite is lovely and oozes character - it's a special place. The pool is fantastic and there are plenty of loungers to be in the sun or shade. The BBQ area is great, as is the outside eating area. Dawn is a fantastic host. She was there to meet us and give us a good overview of the place. Easily contactable by text and very responsive. We had a great stay and would love to go back one day!

Oh, thank you for your lovely words! Really hope to see you again one day.
We had the most relaxing amazing stay in Dawn’s beautiful home. We had everything we needed to make our stay just perfect & the pool & outdoor area made our week. Beautiful countryside & views. Nearby supermarket & local markets perfect for your every need. Just idyllic. Can’t wait to return. Dawn met us & made us so welcome. During the booking process she made it so easy & gave us directions & information on local places. Great personal service.

Oh thank you! Really hope to see you again - with your babies! xxx
Staying at this residence means a total relaxation. You have all means in- and outside the house. The pool is great. Enjoy the silence and view the sky at night. Contact with the owner Dawn was great. All well organized. The area is fantastic and the bigger town are not quite rote. All in all definitely worth another holiday next year.
Great views. Great pool lovely host
Really nicely equipped house with a great pool. Area is quiet and relaxing. Not the place if you want bright lights and nightlife. But fantastic for a relaxing week in truly beautiful scenery. The house is extremely well equipped with everything you need. There are many steps so not a good choice for mobility impaired people. We all had a fantastic time

Nice cottage
The house, garden & pool are great. Dawn is a pleasant lady who is very responsive.
Cosy, cool cottage when the wetter is good, on rainy days, it is a bit dark inside. Nice kitchen, but some appliances need to be replaced (it’s on Dawn’s planning).
Our dog enjoyed the private garden with lot’s of cosy corners.

I was very sad to read your review of my cottage and your stay. It is true that the cottage is very old and cool – very much appreciated by Summer guests when the temperatures are in the mid 30’s. It was built at a time when that was the case every summer.
Unfortunately 2021 was the worst summer on record since 1977, over which I have no control. There is an abundance of overhead lights and lamps and no restriction on how much electricity you use so you would have been welcome to turn them all on to brighten the interior.
As for the indoor utilities – it’s true that the cooker is ‘tired’ but works fine and, as you say, this was on my list – a new one is being delivered this week - but that did not prevent you from using the current one, as was designed.
I fear that the weather very much clouded your appreciation of your holiday which I fully understand, not helped by the very large storm a few days before your departure and despite my paying for a lunch for you at the local restaurant ‘by way of compensation’ you sadly left with unhappy memories.
I am so glad the dog enjoyed her holiday.
P.S. The cooker took time in being replaced as it is no longer standard size and was therefore difficult to find another, as it is built-in.
The large storm did in fact cut off exterior electrics i.e. pool filtration, but this was replaced, within a matter of hours thanks to a very professinal pool company and by way of 'apology' I paid for your lunch in the village restaurant.
Enjoyable stay at character packed house with pool
We arrived to a really warm welcome by Dawn who explained everything very clearly. Communication before and during our stay was excellent.
The old and quirky, clean house had everything we needed and oozed character. The pool is a nice size, clean and most importantly, lovely and warm. There are plenty of recliners and outside seating for relaxing. We ate outside most days (weather permitting).
There are lovely nearby walks. We had an enjoyable lunch at the restaurant Le Relais d’Ayen. Food was tasty and the owners were very friendly. Overall, a very enjoyable stay.
We loved staying at Dawn's house.She would be the first to admit that a bit of a paint job is necessary.The trees by the fantastic pool could also do with a trim as they detract from what should be alovely view.
Our only disappointment was the restaurants in the village have all closed for one reason or another.The new cooker is great and there is a BBQ but we would have liked to have eaten out in the evening.

Thank you for your lovely comments and as you say the trees do need a trim - not helped by a violent storm the day befoe your arrival pushing some of them over sideways! As for the paint job - guilty again - broke my knee a couple of months ago and still hobbling - ladders and paint brushes seemed unwise apart from being impossible!
Broken bones was also the reason for the 2 month late, opening of a new restaurant in the village = now opening on the 8th July. For info there are 6 restaurants within max 15 minutes.

Our Stay at La Braisse
If you are looking for a very quiet and peaceful holiday residence in the Dordogne region with beautiful views that can be admired from the lovely swimming pool and garden area with the warm, light wind, whistling in the palm trees that are situated around the garden, then La Briasse is the ideal place. Pity though, we found the cottage to be a little on the disappointing side, it is need of some TLC. One of our main points is that the rear bedroom that faces south, really needs curtains and sun blinds on the large velux windows, plus all of the windows in the cottage need to have mosquito nets fitted to them. All in all we enjoyed our stay at La Braisse and would certainly return if the above points were addressed.
Response from VrboOwner on 25 March 2020
Thank you for the lovely comments although I was very sad to read the negative ones and your 3 star rating. In the 12 years of renting my cottage to dozens and dozens of very happy guests, some of which return year after year, I have only ever had 5 star reviews. 70% of my annual bookings are repeat guests. All of which, I hope, speaks for itself.
If you had asked, I would have been happy to explain to you how to open/come to the cottage and done it myself, the UV blinds on the Velux windows - in the bedroom that faces North/East [not South]
The bedroom I had prepared for you faces North, is very cool, has shutters, blinds and curtains.
I ask every guest for their constructive comments [good and bad] so that I can address any issues to make theirs and future holidaymakers' holidays even better. It is also true that one man’s meat is another man’s poison and my tastes please some but not all people. I am truly sorry that you were not happy with mine but so very glad that, despite the problems, you had, apparently, a lovely holiday!
I only ask that if guests have a problem to please contact me whilst at the cottage as I cannot resolve something of which I am not aware until after their departure.
Nice authentic home in a green and calm environment. Communication with host is easy and very clear. Pool is great! Plenty of activities in the neighbourhood, for kids and adults.

Oh. Merci beaucoup! C’etait une vrai plaisir de vous rencontrait!! Alors, au plaisir!! Aurore
Nous avons passé un superbe séjour!!! Très jolie maison fonctionnelle et très belle piscine!!
La magnifique vue n’est pas accessible depuis le jardin du fait de la belle végétation luxuriante, mais cela ne gêne en rien!
Merci encore Aurore pour votre accueil et votre disponibilité.
Séjour très agréable dans une jolie maison accueillante très bien située pour rayonner en Corrèze.
L'accueil chaleureux d'Aurore, les jolis villages et les paysages magnifiques, tout y était 😊

Franchement bof !
Nous nous attendions tout de même à mieux vu les photos , mais elles ne sont pas récentes du tout . Accueil plus que moyen , maison vétuste , tables extérieur en fin de vie , coin barbecue qui ne donne pas envie d'y faire cuire quoi que ce soit , dallage piscine sale et mal posé . La vue vantée dans l'annonce est cachée par la végétation qui a largement poussée depuis. Nous avons étés réveillés toutes les nuits par un très fort bruit de chaudière que l'on aurait cru dans la chambre mais situé sous la pièce. Location pour 6 personnes , mais deux minuscules frigos .
Nous ne recommandons pas , surtout pour ce budget .

Ouf !!!
J’étais élevais avec l’éducation « si tu ne puisses pas dire des choses vrais et gentils, ne rien dire du tout » ……
En bref – je n’ai pas écris un commentaire sur vous pour cette raison, ni répondu à la question de Vrbo ‘acceptez-vous de louer encore a ces locataires’ car ma réponse était ‘Non’ – attention aux autres propriétaires.
En plus de 20 ans de location je n’ai jamais reçu que 2 étoiles – le plu part du temps c’était 5. J’ai des clients qui reviennent plusieurs fois….. de plusieurs nationalités.
Si mes locataires me préviennent d’un problème [bruit ??] des leurs arrivées, ou aussi tôt que possible, j’ai la possibilité de voir et corriger, si nécessaire/possible. Ce n’est pas au fin de leur séjour qui je puis faire quelque chose. J’ai proposais que vous vous installiez dans la chambre a l’étage [votre premier choix] et malgré qu’elle soit moins fraîche que celle d’en bas il y a plusieurs ventilateurs disponibles pour chasser la chaleur -Vous me disiez que le bruit d’un ventilateur vous gêne – malgré la canicule – pas facile a vous plaire……….
Il y a 3 frigos, tailles normales, ainsi qu’un congélateur. Vous étiez seulement 2 personnes – alors pas assez ??
Accueil moyen :
Bonjour, Bienvenue chez moi. Je vous laisse faire le tour de la maison pour que vous voyez qu’elle vous plaisait et en attendant, je vous prépare un verre d’accueil – vin blanc, rose, rouge, bière, jus de fruits, eau gazeuse, café, thé…… ? Votre réponse ‘Non, rien’
En plus il y a des boissons ainsi que des choses a grignoté - chips artisanales, du pâté etc….que je laisse pour mes locataires.
Je vous ai préparais la chambre au rez de chaussée car c’est plus frais que celle de l’étage. Votre réponse – nous préférons la chambre a l’étage – ma réponse je vous la prépare, sans problème, votre réponse Non.
Bonne chance pour vos prochains vacances.
Wir (2 Personen) waren im August/September für eine Woche mit unserem Hund bei Dawn. Es war eine tolle Woche! Dawn ist eine sehr herzliche Person, die bei jedem „Problem“ weiterhilft und sich um ihre Gäste kümmert. Die Lage des Hauses ist perfekt wenn man Ruhe sucht. Auf einem Berg gelegen mit einem weiteren Haus nebenan. Privatsphäre ist zu 100% gegeben.
Der Garten war komplett eingezäunt, was perfekt war für unseren kleinen Hund. Der beheizte Pool, die Grillmöglichkeit bei der Außenbar, die vielen Sitzgelegenheiten, die Sonnenschirme, die Palmen und die Banenbäume im Garten haben das Anwesen abgerundet.
Vielen Dank für die tolle Woche Dawn!
Thank you very much Dawn!!
Best regards
Jan, Nina und Lucky

Thank you so much for your lovely comments! It was a pleasure to meet all 3 of you! Hugs, Dawn, Bertie & Choux
Heel leuk huisje midden in de rimboe, rust en ruimte is hier zeker. Huisje was groot genoeg voor ons vieren en twee honden. Het verwarmde zwembad was uiteraard een trekpleister. Het huisje is prima ingericht en van alle gemakken voorzien, het ontvangst was zeer hartelijk en alles wordt goed uitgelegd.. Zeker een aanrader om nog eens heen te gaan. Dank je wel Dawn!

I do not speak German but I do know that 5 stars is wonderful! As are these 2 lovely ladies. I could not wish for lovlier guests and sincerely hope to see them again pne day. In the meantime, THANK YOU!
Dawn hat ein wunderschönes Haus mitten in der Natur. Der Pool ist sehr schön und sauber. Das Grundstück eignet sich perfekt für Urlaub mit Hund. Dawn ist eine sehr nette und herzliche Gastgeberin und das Haus ist mit sehr viel Liebe eingerichtet. Man sollte allerdings keine Angst vor Spinnen und anderen Krabbel und Fliegetieren haben denn die gibt es in einem Haus in der Natur.
Wir hatten eine ganz tolle Zeit und würden gerne wieder kommen.
