About this property

Beautiful Family Friendly Gite. This cottage/gite is in a rural setting.

Charming home from home gite in the heart of the French countryside, nestled within the ‘Parc Naturel Limousin Perigord’, on the border of Haute Vienne/Dordogne.

Large 3 bedroomed barn conversion set in idyllic private grounds with 5 acres of private woodland to explore. Whether you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing holiday off the beaten track, a base from which to explore the beautiful French countryside or house hunting, this comfortable gite is ideal.

Sleeping up to 8 people, 2 double rooms with ensuites and 1 bedroom with twin beds and bunkbeds, cot available on request at time of booking.

Shops, supermarkets, fuel, banks etc are only 10 minutes drive away.

Lovely winding country roads to explore either walking or cycling. There are lots of activities within ½ hour by car, ie caves, chateaux, horse riding, lakes, adventure parks, paintball, etc, a comprehensive publicity brochure is provided on site and we are only 10 minutes away from the famous Wednesday morning Piegut market.

If you are an antique lover or just love a bargain, during the summer months there is always a vide grenier nearby and in the evenings there are weekly markets where you can choose your meal from local produce, have it barbecued and enjoy with a bottle of beer/wine, often to the sound of a live band, what more could you ask for.

Failing that you can just chill at the gite, have a barbecue, enjoy a dip in the pool or a laze in the hot tub. You can do as much or as little as you wish. Owner on site in adjacent property but the gite and pool are completely separate.

About the Owner/Advertiser, Mrs Kathleen Edwards

Hi, we are Kathy and Dave Edwards. We moved to south west France in 2016 having bought an old house in the Parc Naturel Limousin Perigord, on the border of Haute Vienne/Dordogne. Our time here has been quite a journey for us, faced with a new country, a new language, a different pace of life, not to mention getting used to driving on the right side of the road. We are blessed in that we have lovely neighbours who have helped us and we have made some wonderful friends.

Year property purchased 2016
Why this location? The property came with acres of woodland and two separate cottages with adjoining barns.
We decided that we would renovate one of the cottages and its barn and turn them into a Gite which other people could rent and enjoy for a week or more to experience the relaxed lifestyle of rural France in our peaceful corner of this lovely country.
It is the perfect place for families to relax, children have the freedom to play in the large garden area with plenty to occupy them. It is also an idyllic retreat for couples who just want to relax and enjoy some peace and quiet.
Unique benefits of property We have done all the building work inside ourselves, it has been quite a challenge but the reward of seeing the beautiful property it has become are immense. The renovation is sympathetic and to a high standard. We look forward to welcoming you to our gite very soon.

10 / 10 CathyLG 6 August, 2019

Les Montades Gite was fantastic. As 4 adults and one 3 year old we all were extremely comfortable and had plenty to do. The gite was spacious, very modern and spotless. The bedrooms were very roomy with comfortable beds and the en suites were beautifully done. My granddaughter absolutely loved the books and cuddly toys that were in her bedroom. It was a godsend to have fans in each bedroom as well. The kitchen was well equipped, the coffee machine with complimentary pods was well used. We enjoyed playing the boxed games that were in the unit in the lounge, and my granddaughter played with the children’s toys quite a lot too. Outside was just amazing. The pool, hot tub, trampoline, swings, table tennis, badminton and many other items that are in the storage box, were used on a daily basis. The outside seating was great, plenty of recliners for us all and picnic benches on the patio. The owners, Kathy and Dave were very helpful with anything we needed to ask. They have made up some very useful folders full of information about places to visit, eat, activities, etc. I would absolutely recommend for anyone to stay here, you’ll have a wonderful time.

Owner response

For our first review on the Holiday France website we couldn't have asked for more of a compliment. A lovely family who we were delighted to welcome to our Gite, their enjoyment makes all our hard work worth while!
