About this property

Beautiful stone built farmhouse with private pool and garden.

Le Grand Juvet was originally built as the stud farm to the local Chateau and is a magnificent collection of stone buildings complete with tower. We live on site in the tower so are here to greet you and help with anything you need to make your holiday a great one, yet you have a the privacy of your own courtyard and pool. We have set out to provide spacious accommodation with peaceful, private outside space where we hope you will relax and enjoy the lovely scenery. If you can drag yourself away from the property we are in a great situation for exploring some stunning countryside. We have swimming lakes with beaches, marked walking and cycling trails, fishing, horse riding etc all available locally. We have one other property on site which we also rent out, see link at end of description. We have set up each property and their outside space so that everyone has privacy and uninterrupted views but we do also have communal areas for those who like to socialise.

Ground Floor -
Large Farmhouse Kitchen - range cooker (gas hob, electric double ovens), dishwasher and full size fridge/freezer. Fireplace with woodburner. Large kitchen table. Plenty of storage.
Shower room/WC.
Bedroom 1 - King size bed, lovely dual aspect views over garden and valley, French doors out onto balcony with access to garden.
First Floor -
Bedroom 2 - Kingsize bed and full set of bedroom furniture, beautiful views over the orchard
Bedroom 3 - Two single beds and full set of bedroom furniture, view over the courtyard.
Bathroom - Large family bathroom
Living room - with UK freesat TV, woodburning stove.

Notes on accommodation:
Having sampled a number of gites ourselves over the years we have set out to provide something that we struggled to find - spacious accommodation with large rooms, nicely decorated, well furnished, more than enough equipment and a private, pretty oustide area to drink a glass of wine and admire the view. We hope that is what we have achieved.
The farmhouse has been recently renovated / restored. We have tried to use wallpaper and paint colours which are sympathetic to its proportions and character. The property is not adapted for wheelchair use but could be considered for those with reduced mobility as one bedroom is on the ground floor with direct access to a balcony. The en suite for this bedroom has a walk in shower. Message us if you need more detailed info on suitability.

We have animals on site - horses and chickens. They are housed well away from your accommodation but for those guests who wish to be involved with the animals they are more than welcome to join me in my daily duties of feeding, watering, collecting eggs, grooming horses etc.

Outside:
The farmhouse has its own private courtyard with outdoor table and chairs, parasol, plunge pool and BBQ, accessed directly from your accommodation.

In total we have 15 acres of land. The entire property is securely fenced and gated so children are safely contained and have plenty space to expend some energy! We have mountain bikes for guests use.

Quiet Easter Get Away

We had a lovely time in Maxine and Daren's beautiful farmhouse in rural France. The setting was perfect for a relaxing week away. The weather was a bit hit and miss but the hosts provided a games area for the boys to play which was a lovely gesture and they really enjoyed it. The boys also really enjoyed visiting the farm animals up close and if they could have brought them back to the UK, they would have. Thank you for a lovely relaxing week.

Idyllic location & beautiful accommodation

Perfect place for a relaxing family holiday. As a party of 4 adults, with one who loves to cook, the farmhouse style kitchen & great cooking facilities was a real bonus, everything we needed to prepare family meals, also included a great BBQ in our private outside area. Hosts were perfect, lovely welcome then left us to our own devices but were often around within the grounds if needed. We'd definitely stay here again & would highly recommend to others.

Fabulous week

We had an amazing week, the house, grounds and surrounding area is stunning. The house is spacious, clean and has everything you can possibly need. The pool was a great place to relax overlooking the calming countryside. Maxine and Darren were extremely lovely. The animals on site were an added bonus - Haggis & Hamish the baby goats made the week very special! Not forgetting the beautiful horses. We would love to rebook.

Great holiday!

We really had a fantastic holiday! A beautiful house in a beautiful environment. Everything was complete, we lacked nothing. There were even two baby beds for our two granddaughters of 8.5 months. And our daughter and her friend of 14 years had a great time taking care of the horses! And not to forget, our thanks to Maxine and Darren, to whom we could ask everything and who were so friendly.

We loved our stay at Le Grand Juvet. Maxine was very helpful, the house was very clean, comfortable and absolutely perfect for a stay with young children. We loved the views over the sheep, the horses and even the goats. I can definitely recommend it if you’re here to explore the countryside!

Great place, lots to do on the farm and in the area

Great House to stay with big family or friends, very friendly hosts living on the property with their horses, goats, baby chickens and other animals. The kids loved it. Also the game room and the pool of course. A lot to do in the area, Limoge visit, Castles and the Richard the Lionheart Route for example. For sure we will be back to explore more.

Beautiful house, peaceful location.

We were warmly welcomed by Maxine when we arrived. She showed us around, told us what we needed to know, and left us with their contact number if we needed or wanted anything. The house was lovely, and had everything we could need. The garden was secure for the dogs and our private pool area was lovely. We could.not have wanted for more. The area was beautiful, very peaceful. Maxine helped us arrange a vet appointment prior to our return, which made life easy. Great location, lots to see within a short drive, but remote enough to enjoy the night stars. Would reccomend this to all my friends, and we will definately return.

Amazing - Definitely a home from home

Maxine and Darren were great. The house is just beautiful and has everything you need for it to feel like a home from home. Our 3 year old found a new best friend in Percy the Peacock, the seimming lakes nearby make the location just stunning. Unfortunately for us we brought the english weather for the first 4 days but after that the weather matched the location and house and was just gorgeous. Thank you so much Maxine and Darren we didnt know what to expect when we arrived but your beautiful house thoroughly exceeded every expectation.

Awesome Family Holiday!

We are just on our way back after 2 lovely weeks at Le Grand Juvet. We travelled as 2 families, 4 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs. The house is beautifully decorated, clean and has everything you need. The owners Maxine and Darren are lovely hosts, they made us feel right at home. The kids loved the chickens, peacocks, cat, horses and goats, most of which are roaming around the property. We were lucky enough to meet some of the baby chicks! They also have a lovely dog who was very well trained and great with our dogs. It was a good experience for our dogs being around so many different animals! All the animals are very chilled, following their owners energy. The pool was great for the kids, and having the dogs with us made the whole thing very enjoyable. Maxine tacked up her horse for my daughter to sit on, which was very much appreciated by all! They gave us some great information about the surrounding villages and where to go. It's in a very rural part of France, we enjoyed a walk to the local village for lunch, but you do need a car or transport to get around. The roads are very quiet and all the locals are very friendly. The fresh eggs every day were amazing! We couldn't have asked for a nicer 2 weeks away, great memories made in a beautiful location. 5 star - we would definitely recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Maxine

Host profile image
We have lived in France for several years now and run two businesses, our gites and also a tree surgery business. Both of these allow us to make the most of the lovely countryside and glorious weather. We look forward to welcoming you to Le Grand Juvet.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this part of France. Its a beautiful area with lots of trees and lush countryside. The locals really could not have been nicer to us and we have been made so welcome. We often come home to find a neighbour has left surplus veg on our doorstep. Lots of people say its like the UK was 40 years ago when nobody had to lock doors and everyone was keen to help everyone else. Oh and coming from Scotland the weather has been a huge bonus, proper seasons and lots of sun in summer time!
