Saint Germain les Belles Village House for Rent

Beautifully-renovated (with wheelchair access), large holiday rental, in a rural Limousin village. Just a short stroll from local shops, the swimming lake, sandy beach and winding countryside lanes. Perfect for large groups and families - come and get away from it all!

This unique self-catering holiday house is situated in the rural, Limousin region of central France - 'the land of a thousand lakes'.

The house has been entirely renovated and furnished to a high standard and we think that it has something really special to offer our guests. You'll love the contemporary, uncluttered feel of the interior, which is tastefully furnished to a high standard, with many original features and wood flooring throughout.

Guests can choose from 6 lovely bedrooms, 5 of which have private shower / bathrooms. Furthermore, one of the ground-floor bedrooms / bathroom is accessible to wheelchair users. There is also a large private garden and dining terrace (complete with patio furniture and dining table), with views out onto open countryside and buttercup meadows.

Why our house is special…

· Certain items of furniture have been hand-crafted by a local business, using sustainable wood sourced from their own forest.
· We also only use (and provide) environmentally-friendly cleaning products.
· All linen, towels, electricity, wood for the stove and heating are included in the price of the rental.
· We offer a free cleaning / linen change service for holiday lettings of over one week.
· Every room has central heating and double-glazing, making this a fantastic holiday destination in winter too!
· Child-friendly holiday accommodation – we can provide useful items that will help you to enjoy your stay e.g. cots, toys, baby bath, stair gate, high chair... Just make sure you ask when booking.
· Depending on the season, we enjoy providing free vegetables and free-range eggs from our own small-holding, just up the road!
· We also host Organic Gardening Residential Courses at certain times of the year. Please view our website http://www.vacvertes.com for further details.
· We can arrange tasty home-cooked meals to be delivered right to your doorstep!

Choose from 6 bedrooms…

· Every bedroom has 2 single beds (which can also be made up as 'doubles' to suit your requirements), making the room layout very convenient when planning a trip with a large group of friends.
· Beds can also be added or taken away from the rooms, should one guest require a single room - just enquire on booking.
· Five of the bedrooms have private en suites (one with bath) and heated towel rails.
· Please ask if you have any questions about the ground-floor ‘wheelchair accessible’ bedroom and bathroom.
· Just across the hall is 'bedroom number 6' - if guests do not need this during their stay and are visiting with children, we can transform it into a playroom with toys, books, child’s beds (should they be needed) and extra seating.

The Lounge

· Our cosy lounge is situated right next to the kitchen and guests love the ‘communal feel’ that this creates. There is satellite television, a DVD player, films for you to enjoy, books for your to curl up with and games for all the family. There are also 2 sofa-beds, should you need extra sleeping space during your holiday.
· There is also a wood-burning stove, which really adds to the cosy feel of this room.
· Wheelchair users can access the garden / terrace through the patio doors (with lovely views!) and access ramp.

The Kitchen

· The large kitchen is very well-equipped. You will find a dishwasher, microwave, fridge/freezer, big gas oven, kettle and toaster. There are also loads of crockery, cutlery, glasses, mugs, coffee cups, cooking pans and other useful items at your disposal.
· At the centre of the room is the huge kitchen table, with seating for up to 14 people. The numerous restaurants within the locality are a useful option but our kitchen really is the perfect place for groups who plan on cooking and eating in.

· Although the house is in the heart of the village, you will have the best of both worlds, as once you step out of the back door, the peaceful views of open countryside really make you feel like you are in a more remote spot.
· The attractive terrace (with barbecue) is a wonderful location for a relaxing drink or meal on a warm summer's evening. There are reclining seats, a large dining table / benches and parasol if you need some more shade.
· The terrace is entirely accessible for wheelchairs and we have created a paved access ramp from the patio doors.
· The terrace leads out onto the large, private and family-friendly garden lawn, also a great spot for watching wild birds.
