A wonderful relaxing place to stay.

Maison magnifique dans un cadre très tranquille et idyllique! Très bien équipée. Superbe piscine, très beau jardin et avec les poneys du voisin dans le près juste à côté les enfants étaient aux anges. Nous avons passé des vacances très agréables!

Seul petit point négatif les différentes chambres/ pièces ont presque toutes un accès par l'extérieur, donc quand il pleut on se mouille.

We spent a very relaxing and enjoyable week at La Brousse. The property is spacious and full of character, and the garden is particularly impressive with a number of areas where you can relax in the shade depending on the time of day. The house is clean and facilities are generally very good. The three bedrooms are comfortable and are located around a terrace area which is especially pleasant in the mornings and evenings. The pool is certainly big enough for cooling off when it gets hot, and there are plenty of sun loungers for relaxing with beautiful views of the countryside. Every evening we sat by the pool watching the sun set behind the hills in the distance. There are some charming local villages and there is easy access to local shops - and amenities - regular village markets - and sites and attractions - cave paintings, historic towns, and rivers for swimming. The owners were easy to communicate with and very welcoming. We would certainly recommend this property both for those who may be looking to spend a week or so getting away from it all, or those who want a base to explore the local region.

Had a lovely fortnight with great fun relaxing in the shady garden and playing with the kids in the pool and watching beautiful sunsets. Thanks for a lovely break in a lovely property in a great position- quiet relaxed and beautiful gardens.

Labrousse is a beautiful house full of character. Staying here is like stepping into another land. The gardens are so beautiful and the location so peaceful you can't help but relax. The house is full of character - a magical mixture of medieval dordogne architecture and treasures from around the world. If you like your accommodation immaculate and generic this is not the place for you (not that it wasn't clean - it was). The whole place has been lovingly restored by hand and it is full of the character of those who have worked on it and who've chosen to retain the original features. The furniture is all original pieces of good quality, not fitted modern MDF.

The beds were very comfortable. The balcony between the two towers is a beautiful place to relax and watch the sun sinking into the trees. The upper bedroom is accessed through the house - the children loved having a balcony to reach their room and the roof in there is amazing.

The house had everything that we needed - as stated in the description. The kitchen is on the ground floor with a wall of windows down one side looking at the garden - all with curved frames. The stainless steel kitchen was easy to keep clean and the oven has many rings and a double oven for baking. The dishwasher was a small one but we just ran it after each meal. There's a gas barbeque outside too.

To access the rest of the house you go outside and up the stairs, past the zen garden.

The living room was comfy and cool - it was hot outside! There's big telly and dvd player. The lighting is is a little idiosyncratic, it took a while to work out which switch did what.

The pool was lovely - mostly salt not chlorine which was nice, with good loungers and a great spot for sunset and bird watching. The pool was cleaned regularly and there were loads of towels for us to use. Bring your own bats for pingpong - they've been out in the sun too long!

The location is great for visiting the dordogne - far enough away from the busiest places to be peaceful but still surrounded my amazing medieval villages and beautiful wooded hillsides. It's about 5 miles to the boulangerie in Meyssac - there's a great market there twice a week and a small supermarket. Bigger supermarket at Martel which is a beautiful town. Great places to visit nearby - Collonges, Beaulieu, Curemont, Carrenac. Les Gouffres de Padirac are amazing.

What stands out for me though is the peace of Labrousse A blessing. Thank you
