Great location

We booked a short stay of 2nights on our way further south. Tim is a lovely host and talented artist, who’s there for you and for a nice conversation but respects your privacy. Large, spacious house. Lovely views! We enjoyed the surroundings, quiet location, not isolated, close to 2 great lakes for a walk with our dogs.

Joli coin de tranquilité

Le domaine est un havre de paix. Une vue magnifique, de quoi se ressourcer. Avec de magnifiques balades aux alentours. Le gîte est atypique et vraiment charmant, et M Riley un hôte discret et plein de bons conseils.

Utterly Beautiful

Just home from a months stay, and really wish we hadn’t had to leave. The converted barn is cosy, yet spacious, atmospheric, comfortable, and very beautiful, reflecting the eye and considerable artistic talent of its owner and creator, our kind and interesting host, Tim. Tim himself was lovely, the perfect mix of available and discrete, even going out of his way, when we enquired if we could come with our dogs, to fence an area to ensure an enclosed garden they could safely play in. Unbelievably kind, thank you. The outlook and surrounding area is indescribably beautiful, bucolic countryside of rolling green fields, punctuated with trees, and meandering rivers, your neighbours friendly cows, soaring birds of prey, and the occasional welcome sighting of the friendly free range village Mule we christened Maurice (French pronunciation of course) I have too many words to describe how wonderful our stay was and not enough room for all of them! We would thoroughly recommend, and hope to return soon.

Quiet and peaceful

Our stay at Tim's House was delightful. The house is beautiful and quirky. It is well equipped and has some gorgeous features. Tim was very welcoming and helpful, providing us with all the information we needed for an excellent stay. We had exhilarating rides out on the motorbike around the region and fantastic dog walks along the river at the Viaduc Rocherolles. Folles is a lovely little village with a bar/restaurant and a shop with Bessines sur Gartemps 10K away with all amenities. If you want a quiet retreat with fantastic views over the haute vienne countryside, it is well worth a visit

La réalité des lieux est supérieure à la description. C’est magique !

Une maison avec une âme extraordinaire qui vous fait perdre la notion du temps. Et nous avons apprécié par dessus tout le calme et la vue grandiose sur les Monts d’Ambazac. L’accueil de Tim contribue à rendre votre sejour des plus agréables. On s’est promis de revenir à l’automne.

Un vrai moment de détente !!!

Après un accueil chaleureux de Tim, nous avons profité pleinement de cette maison atypique où l'on se sent tout de suite bien !!! Notre séjour fut court mais la tranquilité du lieu nous a permis de bien nous reposer !!! La description et les photos sont conformes à ce que nous avons trouvé sur place. À recommander si l'on cherche un endroit paisible !!!

Un lieu qui a beaucoup de cachet

Une maison atypique entièrement conçue par le propriétaire des lieux, artiste, qui a su donner beaucoup de personnalité en jouant sur la lumière et la matière, et en préservant une sobriété et une authenticité propices au recueillement et à l'isolement qu'offre le cadre de la nature environnante. L'accueil est chaleureux. Un lieu dont on se souvient...
