We stopped over on the way down from London to the Pyrennees. Stunning building, beautifully and sympathetically restored by the owners. It's worth staying just to wander round the building and enjoy all the space!! Then they cooked us the best dinner I've had in a B&B anywhere and all for a very very reasonable price. The hosts were lovely as well.

It was a magical stay, in an enchanted, old world setting. The hosts went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed. Wonderful meals if you want, and the breakfast is amazing. My room was very spacious and sunny. It's a place to go to feel special.

Lovely place, in La Souterraine (we found it by chance, looking for a place to stay on our way south). As the picture shows, this really is a beautiful old building, tastefully restored by the owners (UK couple). Wooden floors, large rooms, that look rustic but are in fact very comfortable with well-equipped bathrooms in retro style.

On the last leg of our holiday - it's been relaxing.... after a week in our villa catering for ourselves to being pampered at Maison Nuuf B&B in La Souterraine, France (welcoming hosts John and Soos) we have loved our stay in you beautiful French style home, l'Occataine toiletries, gorgeous dinner by Soos, tablecloths, cotton sheets, loved the breakfast laid on silver trays, croquet on the lawn, drinks on the terrace. John is such a character. Please visit them to break your journey up!

We stayed with John and Soos on our last night of vacation, just a stop on the way home, and it absolutely turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip!! John and Soos are amazing hosts and their home is absolutely gorgeous! Breakfast was delicious, the beds were so comfortable and the rooms were beautiful. Our baby boy and our dog Nugget were treated like stars! The town of La Souterraine was very pretty and we were lucky to be there for a live blues night at one of the local cafés. I hope we get a chance to come back and stay again soon!!”

Area

The Limousin is an area of France to discover. With the lowest population density, it has lots of fabulous open countryside to explore - an ideal antidote to the stress of urban life. There are numerous beaches on the river Creuse and on the lakes in the region, some busy with bars and restaurants, activities and events, and others more hidden and tranquil!

Hundreds of kilometres of cycling and walking trails including a Pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela, and some more unusual things to see and do, such as Velorail, Oradour-sur-Glane, The wolf sanctuary, and the Labyrinth at Gueret, add to the more expected Churches and Chateaux, villages and towns to wander round at a relaxed pace.

The web sites listed below will give you information about some of the activities available in the region.
