Holiday home Vallée dorée is located in a small hamlet called "Cros", part of the village "Dompierre-les-Eglises". Cros consists of about twenty houses where time has stood still. It is a quaint little hamlet amidst vast, hilly countryside, forests and lakes. In fact, the Haute Vienne is a region that is very green with many rural villages. It is also a quiet region where tourism has not yet caught on and where you can enjoy the peace and quiet and beautiful nature. Haute-Vienne is one of the three departments of Limousin, located next to Creuse and Corrèze. Cros is in the middle of three large natural parks. To the south are the parks regional Perigord- Limousin and Millevache en Limousin. To the north, Cros borders the park naturel regional de la Brenne.

    Vrijwel alleen maar lof voor dit heerlijke vakantiehuis en de buitengewoon vriendelijke en behulpzame eigenaars, Dirk en An. Vallée Dorée bood ons exact wat wij zochten: een luxe uitgerust huis in een mooie, stille omgeving.

    Er zit veel werk in de details en afwerking van het huis, zowel esthetisch als qua voorzieningen. De binnenkant van het huis is bijzonder smaakvol ingericht en afgewerkt. De authentieke sfeer is duidelijk nog aanwezig, gecombineerd met voldoende moderne gemakken. In een gehucht als Cros zou je geen high-end glasvezel internet verwachten; maar dat is er dus wél. Erg handig voor gebruik van de televisie (i.c.m. Chromecast) en videogesprekken met het thuisfront. De keuken is uitgerust met een geweldige oven/gasfornuis en met hoge kwaliteit pannen. Als je graag kookt, kun je hier helemaal los gaan. Glaswerk en servies was allemaal brandschoon en leek soms wel gloednieuw. Verder hadden wij de beschikking over twee barbecues met genoeg accessoires. In de schuur was overigens ook een grote hoeveelheid haardhout te vinden, die wij onbeperkt konden gebruiken.

    Bij onze aankomst bleek de opblaasbare hottub kapot te zijn (lek). Echter kregen wij nog dezelfde avond een berichtje dat er twee dagen later een gloednieuw exemplaar geplaatst zou worden. En inderdaad, deze belofte werd ingelost en we konden er de rest van de week gebruik van maken.

    Het zwembad was brandschoon en werd tot 28 graden gestookt voor ons. Dat was erg prettig, omdat wij nogal vroeg in het seizoen waren met buitentemperaturen van 20-23 graden. Klein minpuntje te benoemen hier: de warmtepomp van het zwembad stond buiten de schuur, vlakbij het zwembad. Het geluid daarvan was goed hoorbaar bij het zwembad. Ik vermoed dat je hier op warmere dagen geen last van hebt, omdat het zwembad dan niet continu verwarmd hoeft te worden.

    De tuin en de rest van het terrein zijn verder uitstekend onderhouden. Het gras, de planten en bomen zagen er allemaal schitterend uit. Wat een werk zit hierin!

    De streek is erg mooi en kan prachtige autoritten en uitstapjes opleveren. Let wel op dat je niet gedachteloos de gesuggereerde routes van je navigatiesysteem volgt. De snelste route is hier namelijk lang niet altijd de meest praktische. Veel weggetjes zijn breed genoeg voor één auto en de berm loopt al snel af naar beneden. Als er dan een landbouwvoertuig tegemoet komt, moet je een stuk achteruit. Overigens zijn er genoeg begaanbare routes. In het begin is het even uitvogelen hoe je het beste kunt rijden.

    Wij hopen hier zeker nog een keertje terug te komen. Dirk en An, hartelijk dank voor een memorabele vakantie!

    Voor ons de eerste keer in de Limousin en zeker niet de laatste keer! Vallee Doree....wat een fantastische plek en wat een uitzicht en rust..het absolute "niets", als je daarvan houd natuurlijk. In het gehuchtje Cros heeft de tijd echt stilgestaan.
    We hebben genoten van de stilte, de uilen, het zwembad, het enorme, mooie aangelegde, landgoed (want dit kan je geen tuin noemen!) Prima (groot) huis met een goede keukenuitrusting. Zeer vriendelijke, behulpzame eigenaren die je optimale privacy bieden (en een lekker glas wijn als je wilt), bedankt Dirk en Ann voor de fijne tijd die we bij jullie hadden en zeker tot ziens!

    A beautiful location with a lovely owner.
    Our small family had an amazing week at Vallee Dorree, thank you Dirk.
    So the positives:
    The most phenonemal oustide- a truly beautiful pool, a little orchard an an acre or two or property to explore
    Also has a lovely terrace with a huge table and a couple of bbqs near the pool
    We spent almost the whole week in the pool to be honest- it was very hot- 37degrees !
    The kitchen has a very nice hob and fridge freezer and is very well equipped- it has an espresso maker (any chance of a nespresso machine Dirk?)
    It also has very fast internet properly distributed so you can even use it in the garden.
    The lounge and family bathroom are lovely.
    The owners are very friendly and really helpful- we found a couple of bulbs out which they fixed very very quickly
    The property was spotless when we arrived- very clean which is lovely.
    There are some lovely looking bell tents which would swallow a family or two- this would be an amazing spot for an extended family- you could fit 2 famiilies in the house and 2 more in the tents and with the space on the grounds you'd never feel on top of each other.

    There aren't any negatives, but a couple of observations:
    One half of the house has been very well renovated, the other half has been partially renovated, but is still quite rustic. It will look amazing when finished- but its not quite there yet. Don't let this put you off though.
    The location is very very rural- there is very little locally. Lac Pardoux was very good for kids, and it would be an amazing spot for cycling as you'd only see a couple of cars an hour. Using a telescope would also be amazing. Be aware that most shops shut between 1230 and 1430! The pace of life is much slower which took a bit of getting used to. Its not an area that is dominated by tourists- you have to book most restaurants and their opening hours are somewhat flexible!

    In any case we LOVED vallee doree, Thank you Dirk :)

Restaurants, food & wine

In " Le Dorat" a small village about 17 km from Cros, the delicious "Marches de Producteurs" are organised every Thursday during the summer months (July and August). Local farmers and traders in meat, dairy and vegetables display their best wares. These are displayed in various stalls on the market square. You can buy limousin beef and local vegetables at very democratic prices. And if you don't feel like preparing everything at home...they will prepare it for you! There are several BBQ,s where you can have your meat roasted. Large tables are set, plates and cutlery are provided...conviviality prevails!

Activities

Of course, this region lends itself enormously to organising extensive small and/or large walks and cycling routes. There are various routes that take you to idyllic, nostalgic and romantic places. Staff maps and various walking and cycling maps are available from us free of charge.
Swimming and other water sports:
For an enjoyable family outing, visit the Lac Saint Pardoux lake. The lake covers 300 hectares and is hidden among the woods. From Vallée Dorée it is just under twenty minutes' drive. Lots of activities are organised for young and old. Apart from the various walking routes, you can also go water-skiing, swimming, fishing, canoeing, sailing, horse riding, archery, tennis, mountain biking...there is a beach volleyball field and a real adventure park. For the little ones, there is a giant bouncy castle park.

There is still plenty of space and peace, even complete silence can still be found here. There is also an important heritage of architecture and art in the many Romanesque religious buildings, fortified castles, medieval towns and the famous tradition of porcelain.
