Family Country Cottage with Heated Pool & Garden
La Brousse Cottage is nestled in a small hamlet, completely surrounded by nature. This charming cottage enjoys a preserved rural setting, ideal for a peaceful, relaxing and intimate stay. You can enjoy a heated and secure swimming pool, perfect for unwinding. The cottage is located in the heart of a region rich in historical sites, beautiful natural landscapes and many activities: walking, sightseeing, local food and wine tasting… something for everyone, adults and children alike.
Labrousse Cottage (New Aquitaine) is an excellent base for discovering many sites of medieval heritage (Collonges-la-Rouge, Rocamadour, Curemonte, Turenne…) as well as a protected natural environment (bird reserves, lakes, woods, rivers) and numerous outdoor activities: kayaking and canoeing on the Dordogne River, fishing, caving, hiking, golf and much more.
The gîte, located at the end of the hamlet of Labrousse (with its small château and two other houses), can accommodate 1 to 6 guests.
This centuries-old stone house is surrounded by a 1,600 m² private garden, set in the middle of fields and woodland, and features a saltwater swimming pool (6.36 m x 6.36 m). The pool is secured with a safety cover compliant with EU standards.
The three bedrooms, all with access to the terrace, offer great comfort with two double beds and two single beds. The bathroom is equipped with two showers, a washbasin and a toilet.
The cosy living room has a fireplace, a new flat-screen TV and a DVD player. There is also Wi‑Fi internet access.
The kitchen and dining area, located on the ground floor, are fully equipped with a dishwasher, fridge-freezer, gas hob, oven, and open onto a terrace with table and chairs for outdoor meals. A barbecue is available in the garden, along with plenty of garden and pool furniture.

Beautiful region
Set in a beautiful location.
Quirky layout; you have to go outside to access the bedrooms, but this is part of its rustic charm.
We loved the market town of Martel, and canoeing down the Dordogne.
The house was clean and the kitchen well equipped, except it needs a decent set of kitchen knives.
Although the listing says departure is at 11.00 am we left earlier because the caretaker/cleaner stood over us from 09.30 until we left. Slightly awkward.
But minor niggles aside, this is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt areas of France and this house puts you bang in the middle of it.

Comfortable and spacious property in a beautiful rural setting
We spent a very relaxing and enjoyable week at La Brousse. The property is spacious and full of character, and the garden is particularly impressive with a number of areas where you can relax in the shade depending on the time of day. The house is clean and facilities are generally very good. The three bedrooms are comfortable and are located around a terrace area which is especially pleasant in the mornings and evenings. The pool is certainly big enough for cooling off when it gets hot, and there are plenty of sun loungers for relaxing with beautiful views of the countryside. Every evening we sat by the pool watching the sun set behind the hills in the distance. There are some charming local villages and there is easy access to local shops - and amenities - regular village markets - and sites and attractions - cave paintings, historic towns, and rivers for swimming. The owners were easy to communicate with and very welcoming. We would certainly recommend this property both for those who may be looking to spend a week or so getting away from it all, or those who want a base to explore the local region.

Charm, Discomfort and DilapidationCalling all fans of real-life labyrinths: in this house, every room lives on its own. To get from a bedroom to the kitchen, you’ll need to step outside, face the rain or the scorching sun, and then re-enter another wing of the building. A unique experience — unless, of course, you prefer your morning coffee without a treasure hunt.The “multi-centenary” aspect isn’t limited to the stones: it extends to the worn-out electrical system, rickety beds, and patched-up fittings. The house offers full immersion… in dilapidation.The so-called “EU-standard” swimming pool completes the picture: a DIY setup that reassures the owner far more than the guests.In short, an ad full of promises but closer to medieval fantasy than reality. Yes, there’s charm — but it’s drowned in discomfort, safety concerns, and the constant feeling of having been misled.

Superbe endroit
Maison au charme fou dans un environnement calmissime. Une vue dégagée sur la campagne avec des couchés de soleils superbes dont on profite sur les terrasses. Beaucoup de tables dans le jardin pour profiter des extérieurs selon les moments de la journée. Piscine chauffée très agréable. Tout l'équipement nécessaire est présent pour 6 personnes. Des chambres aux accès exterieurs indépendants de la maison qui garantissent le calme et l'indépendance de tous (parfait pour 3 couples ou grands enfants). Excellente communication avec les propriétaires qui ont été prevenants et hyper réactifs. La région est riche en balades de tous niveaux à moins de qqes kilomètres et de très beaux villages à découvrir. A ne pas manquer si l'on aime les veilles pierres.

Maison très atypique
Maison très bien située mais très atypique construite sur 3 niveaux indépendants et ne communiquant pas entre eux. Donc un peu compliqué avec des enfants ou adolescents. 2 chambres nécessitent de passer par l’extérieur pour accéder aux toilettes par ex. Bâtisse rénovée mais pas encore entièrement une charpente totalement a découverte et maison couverte de vignes vierges avec de nids de guêpes et de frelons. Charmant mais peu pratique avec des enfants

Très agréable
Parfaitement accueillis, la maison est charmante et bien équipée, au calme et dans un cadre bucolique. La piscine (chauffée) est très agréable.
A noter que les accès aux chambres se font par l'extérieur, donc cela nécessite un peu d'organisation avec les tout petits.
Nous reviendrons sans hésiter !

magnifique maison de vacances
Maison magnifique dans un cadre très tranquille et idyllique! Très bien équipée. Superbe piscine, très beau jardin et avec les poneys du voisin dans le près juste à côté les enfants étaient aux anges. Nous avons passé des vacances très agréables!
Seul petit point négatif les différentes chambres/ pièces ont presque toutes un accès par l'extérieur, donc quand il pleut on se mouille.

charmante maison
Charmante maison dans l'ensemble avec une très bonne literie (c'est important).
La piscine, bien que petite, est agréable et malgré la présence délevages à proximité nous n'avons pas eu de gêne particulire concernant les mouches (mauvaise expérience passe ailleurs).
Le seul point vraiment négatif, la vigne vierges sur les murs de la maison attirant de très nombreuses guêpes. Bien que ces dernières ne soient pas agressives, cela est resté une source de stress quotidien en particulier pour les enfants.
