COVID-19 UPDATE 04/06/2020
Following the easing of the lockdown here in France we have great
pleasure to announce the opening of “REIDS RETREAT” for 2020 on the 1st
of July. Depending on what social distancing rulings apply from
this date we will be on site if you require anything but leave you on
your own to enjoy your holiday & as our Gite is exclusively for your
use there is no need to worry about social distancing. Only a few places left in our calendar for 2020 but we are now taking bookings for 2021
We recommend you check with your countries rules of travel before booking.
2020 - 95 Euros per night / 2021 - 99 euros per night (for the whole Gite) <click here to see our calendar>
We invite you to come and stay for a taste of French life here in your very own
private self catering Gite, nestled within the beautiful undisturbed Limousin countryside.
You choose your own pace of life here from one of romantic solitude or
exploring daily, the French culture of food & wine, town markets, glorious
lakes, historic chateau's & a never ending variety of walks & drives
within what feels like days of old.
Unfortunately we do not accept pets.
We are happy to accept children from the age of 16 years
& upwards within the total number of 4 guests
(no cots or extra beds).
