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.

Beautiful scenery,beautiful,sunsets,beautiful peace and quiet.Very well equipped cottage.Loved the fresh spring water at the back of house which we drank all the time! Very quiet area which is perfect for that relaxing holiday.Visited Lac Vassiviere,St Leonard de Noblat,Limoges and bourganeuf. Lovely restaurant in Masberand Merignat called Chez Nous. Fabulous cheese fondue! Really lovely place and a relaxing time was had by all." Maxine, Steve & Jane, 2010

"Marvelous! Quiet and relaxing - that is life at La Bo Bo! The house is well-equipped and comfortable. The setting is lovely. The views are just superb, and all that fresh air... Go, and enjoy! The most peaceful & quiet holiday we've had in a long time.  We love it here."  Donald & Muriel, 2009

I would go back tomorrow
"We really cannot praise this lovely cottage enough. It has bags of character and the views ( not forgetting the sunsets) were fantastic. The owners had left out some fresh french bread, a bottle of wine, some essentials in the fridge and plenty of wood for the fire. The only reason I would'nt recommend this property to anyone else is because it would make it harder to re-book for ourselves!" 2009

"Fantastic holiday, great views & comfortable house. A wonderful stay in an idyllic house, in a beautiful setting." Rachel & Alice, 2007

"We've had such a wonderful time, such a magical place! Thank you." Paul, Ursula, Gareth & Julia, 2006 & 07

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

A week down in the Limousin
Has just appeared to be
The chillest,queitest,relaxed place
That you could wish to be.

La Bobo in the countryside
Amidst the rolling hills
Has been our little Shangri-La
So thank-you Bex and Bill.
Marilyn, 2008

Beautiful location
"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
