How to Get There

Welcome


The cottage is situated in the department of La Creuse, in the region of the Limousin, central France. The Hamlet is quiet and peaceful, with local shops and restaurants 10-15 minutes drive away.

This is an ideal place to stay if you enjoy both sightseeing in towns and villages, and the peace and quiet of countryside walks. It's also an ideal base if you are house hunting in the area. La Bo Bo sleeps four people in one double bedroom, and one twin bedroom.

The house was built in 1889, and has recently been renovated inside and externally to include a landscaped garden. You'll be able to enjoy sitting out on the raised patio in the evening, watching the sun setting with a couple of glasses of wine.

Entspannte Ferien
'Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet und entspricht den beschriebenen Tatsachen. Die Buchung ist sehr einfach und der Kontakt mit den Vermieter ist sehr freundlich. Das Haus hat eine sehr schöne und abgelegene Lage und ist ideal zum entspannen. Am Tag fahren vielleicht zwei Autos vorbei, sodass gerade der Urlaub mit Kindern gefahrlos und entspannt ablaufen kann. Die Region bietet sehr gute Ausflugsziele und die regionale Küche bietet solide Kost zu günstigen Preisen.'  Simon, Tanja & Julia, July 2009

and .....'A comfortable home away from home. A lot of friendly people, Lac de Vassiviere in the sunshine, fantastic food, a recipe for an unforgettable holiday.' Simon, Tanja & Julia, Germany, 2009

'Very restful holiday, lovely surroundings.' Moira & John, 2006

'Lovely house, beautiful view, very peaceful.' Iris, 2007

"We had a fabulous time at La Bo Bo. The village is beautiful, set in wooded valleys with fantastic views from the terrace above the house. We sat out every evening watching the sunset and listening to the wildlife with a glass of wine or two. The house is really comfy and well equipped; it felt like home straight away. There was lashings of hot water and even Cbeebies on TV for our 4 year old. We found fresh raspberries, wild strawberries and cherries growing nearby and there's even drinkable spring water bubbling from the hillside nearby. Bourganeuf is a pretty market town 15 mins away with a Carrefour for food supplies. The region is beautiful and the deserted winding wooded roads just go on and on in every direction. A clean green landscape unspoilt by mass tourism and crowds. We loved it and will be back!" Keith, Laura & Freya 2009
