We loved our 2 weeks in Elsa. There is everything one may need for a quiet holiday filled with reading and complete break from the world outside. The cows' bells in the valley that the barn overlooks, the wonderfully clear skies with stars, the darting swallows and the peace helped us to relax properly. Meanwhile, all necessary civilisation - very well equipped kitchen, bathrooms - was in full order. The sweetness of the decor made it cosy. Two main issues for us would have made it all perfect: the pool took a while to clean and prepare for use, and the TV has only British channels (which may be attractive to some). All in all, with numerous activities to do and things to see in this magical region, our holiday was fab. Thank you, Marcus, for being always at the end of an email when we needed you, thank you for the wonderfully packed "panier" with bread, wine, the fridge - with milk, orange juice and brie, at our arrival. Very much appreciated. We may come again... Laurence and Theodora

We stayed at Elsa of Kora for a week and couldn't have asked for a more tranquil, beautiful place to stay...we relaxed from the moment we arrived. Jo and Marcus ( the owners ) had left a packed welcome basket as we arrived on a Sunday this was most welcome to see us through until the next morning when we went to Montbron for a shop at a local supermarket. We explored the barn on arrival and stunning surrounding area , the barn is decorated to a very high standard, attention to detail perfect in every room...the outdoor patio area and furniture very welcome..( loved having breakfast on the patio..! ) Well loved the addition this year of the swing seat on the patio...perfect..!! We hired bikes from the recommended one on the website...a great service dropping off and picking up from the barn..and explored the area on them...definitely can recommend this. We visited Brantome ( a must..so beautiful...) for younger visitors there is kayaking around the town whilst the grown ups enjoy the beautiful scenery. Our evenings were spent between local great restaurants and a fabulous BBQ at the barn...nowhere more perfect to be honest after a busy day out to relax and enjoy a great bottle of wine. All in all a beautiful French home to stay...very welcoming and relaxing with incredible views..what more for you need..!

Le gite n'est pas très grand mais pour 6 il est largement suffisant. L'endroit est très calme et la piscine est vraiment grande. Celui ci dispose de tout ce qu'on peut attendre d'une location et rien ne nous a manqué L'accueil fut très agréable.

The property is situated on a large plot with excellent views over the nearby gorge. The barn is completed to an exceptional standard with all mod cons including three bedrooms. There is a pool and a trampoline which our children loved. Within a ten minute drive there is a life guard supervised lake with man made beach which offers swimming, free canoeing and a restaurant bar. The area is very picturesque with nearby villages and towns offering restaurants and all the amenities that you will need. We will definitely be re-booking in the near future.
