We really enjoyed your beautiful house, the surrounding land and certainly also the Limousin region. The fishing lake is really beautiful, fun to combine a family\n holiday with fishing. My son and I caught two fish, a nine-kilo (20lb) common carp and a five-kilo (11lbs) grass carp. We will definitely come back again. Thanks Brooks family for the good service and the fun experience.

Me and my partner booked this holiday for ourselves, my parents and my brother and his girlfriend. We had an amazing time on this holiday. The booklet Sarah and Matt leave with local information is fantastic and we used it most days to help us plan what we wanted and needed to do.
We stayed in the gite 21/10/17-28/10/17, we had 25 degree heat and my dad and partner had a few big fish ranging from 20-25lbs. We took our 14 month old puppy, poppy a miniature poodle with us too and she had a fantastic time.
The little finishing touches such as blankets for outdoor use are lovely and make the holiday feel extremely homely. The best part of the holiday was I got proposed to!! Leaving the Gite an engaged women and very happy with a truly fantastic holiday!! 100% will book again.
The Gite was clean and tidy when we arrived and I had constant communication with Matt by my choice which was really helpful.

Wonderful secluded location. Totally dog friendly grounds and house. Nearby village has a very good restaurant, great lunches and evening meals. Good supermarket within 15 minutes drive. Private lake for fishing was utilised for the whole week. Relaxing, calm and good fishing.
Wonderful time had by me, my wife and 2 dogs. Will be back!!

Thank you for the use of your gite and lake, it had all the creature comforts to make for a lovely time; so much so we cancelled trips out to La Rochelle etc just to laze and enjoy the facilities. We only realised there was a dvd library when clearing up on the last day, although it would have been surplus to our enjoyment anyway.
Fish that were caught :
Commons : 24.01, 22.12 , 26.02
Mirrors : 18.03, 16.06
Sturgeons : 12.11, 15.9, 12.11
Pike : 10.09
I had a haul of silverfish mainly Roach and small Carp mostly caught on float rod with sweetcorn, one or two came in on the ledger with boilies bigger than their stomachs.
Karen mainly enjoyed sitting by the pool, reading her books and taking in the rays but happiest of all was our dog Coco, who would run back and forth from house to lake in excitement, especially on hearing the donkey next door and the frogs round lake.

My family spent a week here this summer and all 5 of us had an amazing time.The gite is equipped with everything and more that you'll need and is so beautiful inside and out.Having sky tv and wifi was brilliant.My daughter loved all of the books and board games too. We spent lots of time on the sun terrace and in the pool. We had scorching hot weather daily! My older children enjoyed playing football, basketball, darts and snooker.
The grounds and lake are so tranquil and it is absolute bliss having all of that to yourself.Hard to describe until you are there! My husband and son's spent many hours fishing and were lucky enough to catch a 30lb mirror carp! We also enjoyed walks around the lake and grounds too.
There is so much to do in the surrounding areas, you really are spoilt for choice.We liked Lac de Lavaud, a lake with an artificial beach.
We had some lovely meals out at La Toscane in Montbron. We could have done so much more but enjoyed the time relaxing at the gite a little too much! Lol. We also enjoyed many evenings on the terrace, barbecuing and spending time using the telescope looking at the stars.
There really was something for us all to do, which is usually hard to find with the age range of our children- 4, 9 and 12.So much so, we will be back next year.
Thanks so much Matt and Sarah and thank you for our welcome basket xx

We had a great time here just home with fond memories, lovely and remote but lots of great days out within an hour at most. Our favourite day was spent at Brantome. Matt was very accommodating throughout the whole booking process and available during our stay. Beautiful grounds and a traditional french farmhouse feel x

My family and I stayed in Lakeview Family Fishing Gite & Grounds for our holiday in July. It was a nice way to spend time together, as we all live in different countries. There were 8 of us all together, and 4 dogs! We were delighted that it was dog friendly, because our dogs are a huge part of our family. We all had a fantastic holiday. The gite and grounds were beautiful and the owners of the property were very helpful and kind to us. The area was so tranquil and peaceful - exactly what we wanted/needed for a relaxing holiday!
The property was exactly as described in the advertisement. It was clean, well-maintained, and everything we needed was provided. The owner provided excellent customer service and the communication was brilliant. My partner enjoys fishing and had never tried carp fishing before. The owner was extremely helpful and provided us with recommendations and everything we needed to fish. The owner also went above and beyond to help accommodate us and helped us with extra requests we contacted them with.
We particularly loved that there were so many activities for us all to do. The grounds were big enough to give us all our own space. We enjoyed the pool, fishing in the lake, playing badminton, sunbathing (then cooling off in the pool) and playing snooker and darts! The dogs loved all the space. My partner was delighted he caught a 34lb/15kg mirror carp.
We would highly recommend this property to anyone. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and would definitely go back again! Thank you for a great holiday.

We stayed at Lakeview from June 17th to July 1st, the weather was awesome.
My Husband caught Carp up to 18lb - he was happy!
We took our Boxer Dog Reuben with us, the entire property was securely fenced - so no worries - he loved it!
I made much use of the patio sunning myself, when i got too hot took the opportunity to take a dip in the above ground pool - nice!
ALL in ALL had a wonderful time, the Gite wanted for nothing including the wifi.
We had some lovely meals out.
Sad to leave but made lots of memories
Big thank you to Matt & Sarah

We stayed from the 9th-17th June. Such a lovely place to stay. The gite has everything you could need & they really have thought of everything from little extras to shopping bags for supermarket made all the difference. The welcome basket is also a lovely touch.
The grounds are beautiful & so peaceful & The pool is lovely to cool off in.
We especially loved how dog friendly it was, our vizsla Levi had such a great time & it was nice not to have to worry about him as the property is all fenced in. They also provided dog bowl & dog towels! Such a lovely touch!
Weather was amazing while we stayed 30+ every day, made for beautiful Holiday but not for the fishing unfortunately my husband didn't catch anything due to the heat & also fish were spawning.
However we still had a great stay & would highly recommend. The owners Matt & Sarah are lovely too & cannot do enough for you.

We stayed at the cottage at the beginning of April for a week and it was the best, most relaxing holiday we've had to date and think it will be hard to match. The house is beautiful with everything you need; the sun room was awesome, eating as a family round the big table in the sunshine added to the holiday. The lake is a carp fishers dream, stocked with beautiful fish in perfect condition; we had fish every time we fished the lake on the regular methods boilies, pva bags and particals. The area really is beautiful . Thank you so much and we hope to stay with you next year!
