child friendly holiday cottage with heated outdoor pool & large garden

Nestling in the spectacular Monts D'Ambazac (Limousin, Haute Vienne) and set on the edge of the beautiful historic village of Grandmont, Grandmont Gites offers three charming, stylish and cosy gites providing the perfect getaway for anyone wishing to explore this part of France.

Grandmont Gites is a chameleon in years gone by. Originally a hostel, later a hotel, bar & brasserie and at one time even, a pumping station!.

To this day Gite Les Arbres (a period French cottage) retains the charm and character of its heyday as the former bar & brasserie where locals and passersby congregated for chatting, drinking, eating and dancing.

In fact, the original bar now separating kitchen and lounge has been the resting place for many a French elbow of residents among us this very day.

Designed across ground floor level Les Arbres sleeps up to 4 guests. A cosy long lounge from the entrance leads to the kitchen which is well equipped for everything you need to self-cater. In turn, this leads to a large dining area with both bedrooms leading off. The master bedroom leads to the private patio. The second bedroom has two single beds.

We have two other gites at Grandmont both of them listed with HomeAway:

Les Vignes sleeps 8 guests and is designed over two floors and is perfect for large families or groups
Les Fleurs sleeps 4 guests and is ideal for couples sharing

Our facilities at the complex include:


- onsite free parking
- heated outdoor pool (chlorinated) from June to September
- outdoor table tennis and trampoline
- winter rental from late September to early June


Nearby is the medieval town of Ambazac with places to eat, shop and sightsee including the towns' charming 13th Century church - home to two of the regions' most precious relics.

Limoges city is approx 25 mins drive, popular for its arts and crafts, theatres and museums, bars, eateries, boutiques etc.

Lac Saint Pardoux is 15 mins drive and provides a beach-in-reach. Packed with all kinds of water sports and year round activities - it's a great place to keep the family entertained.

The area of Grandmont is surrounded by lakes for fishing and swimming, with endless forest trails and stunning scenery.

Excellent week
We had a superb stay. It was the first time we'd been to that part of France. The gîte was lovely, well equipped and full of character. Our kids absolutely loved the pool and garden. They would have been happy with 7 days of swimming and table tennis. We did end up hanging out by the pool at some point every day. The area is very picturesque and there's plenty to see and do nearby, if you've got a car. We had a few trips to Lac Pardoux to go paddleboarding and swimming. Lovely roads for cycling as long as you don't mind a few hills. The owners were really friendly and went above and beyond. We felt really welcome and at home which allowed us to really relax. We were all sad to have to leave. Thanks for a wonderful week.

Wonderful accommodation in a beautiful place
We spent three nights in Les Arbres and it was wonderful. The accommodation had everything you could want and we were extremely comfortable. The kids loved the big garden and pool and we loved the peace and tranquility and the gorgeous scenery. The only downside was that you can hear everything that goes on in the apartment above, as there are only floorboards between you. We got used to it after a while but at first it was quite annoying. However, we had a wonderful stay and James and Louise were great hosts.

The property was very nice and had lots of French character. All the amenities in a lovely quiet par
Louise and James made us very welcome with their kind and friendly approach. We enjoyed two weeks of relaxation and lovely walks around the lakes. It is an ideal location to explore the Limoges area.

Location et cadre très sympathique
Malgré le mauvais temps nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans une location très propre, manque de rien, avec un panier gourmand à notre arrivée. Piscine très propre et chauffée, grand parc, table de ping-pong, trampoline. Rien à redire. Petit bémol, les pièces de cette location sont un peu sombre. Manque de lumière extérieur.

Jolie région
Bonjour, Nous avons passé deux semaines en aout dans le gite les Arbres. A savoir : le gite est au rez de chaussée (assez sombre) et un autre gite est au dessus de nous (on entend donc les bruits de pas et de voix). Cela ne nous a pas trop dérangé mais c'est important de le savoir. La terrasse du gite donne sur le parking du gite donc c'est dommage pour la vue. Le gite est bien décoré, vous avez des jeux pr les enfants, une cuisine bien équipée, la piscine et le jardin est très agréable, plein de jeux d'extérieur également. Louise et James sont très accueillants (serviables et discrets). Le gite est situé a 20 min du lac saint Pardoux qui offre plein d activités.

Séjour de repos dans le Limousin.
Nous avons séjourné une semaine dans le gite "Les Ormes" de Louise. Nous souhaitions nous reposer et cela a été le cas, car ce gite est situé dans un hameau calme au milieu d'une zone boisée.propice à la randonnée. Louise a su conserver le caractère authentique de cette demeure en y intégrant la modernité; (petit hic cependant, une WIFI défaillante). La décoration et l'aménagement sont de bonne facture. La piscine chauffée est un plus. Louise et son mari sont courtois, discrets et réactifs à la moindre demande. Leur accueil est très chaleureux et sympathique. Nous garderons un très bon souvenir de notre passage à Saint Sylvestre et y retournerons avec plaisir à l'occasion .

Super we de la Pentecôte à Grandmont Gîte
Nous venons de passer un super séjour dans ce Gite. Nous avons loué les deux gîtes "les arbres et les fleurs", Louise et James sont super et tres soucieux du bien être de leur hôtes. L'espace piscine avec tres grand jardin est top ( partie de foot avec amis enfants ). Les gîtes sont propres avec beaucoup de charme. Nous reviendrons avec amis et enfants pour louer cette fois les 3 gîtes ! Merci à Louise et James pour leur bienveillance et leur gentillesse.
