La Petite Maison
The cottage is one of the oldest properties in the traditional French village of Belabre. Situated on the edge of the Brenne Regional Nature Park, Belabre is a popular, yet unspoilt holiday destination for many French families. It is fair to say that this is more than the typical French gite, it is a true holiday home from home. The 3 bedroomed cottage, has a magnificent cellar, private walled garden with barbecue. There is sufficient accommodation to sleep up to five people; including facilities for babies. The self contained luxurious master bedroom and en-suite bathroom also make the cottage ideal for a romantic stay for two at any time of the year.

Belabre - A small town in the heart of Brenne Natural Park
The village has all the amenities you are likely to need during your stay including; boulangerie, boucherie, bakery, La Poste, and a cafe bar/restaurant. In addition the village boasts a supervised swimming lake, plus fishing and boating facilities just two hundred meters from the cottage. The cottage itself is less than 100 meters from the town's supervised Swimming Lake which is a popular attraction for the visitors of the adjacent French holiday park. Other attractions include tennis and mini-golf, along with fishing, boating and canoeing on the River L'Anglin. Being within 20 meters of the main town square, guests have ample car parking space and easy access to the town's main shops and facilities. Just ask for directions to the town's two focal points, its church or its popular restaurant bar, and you will be within a stone's throw of the cottage, sheltered in the quiet one way street of Rue Pasteur.

Inside The Cottage
The cottage has been expertly renovated by local Artisans in 2004, and ensures that guests can enjoy the best of modern conveniences whilst at the same time enjoying a wealth of traditional features. On entering the house you step into the spacious Dining Room. The original beam, stone walls and fireplace provide a homely setting in which to dine, entertain or relax. The adjacent Kitchen is fully equipped, with oven hob, microwave, freezer and fridge, along with the appliances and utensils you will need during your stay. From the kitchen you can access the magnificent stone walled and vaulted Cellar which we have transformed into a dramatic and unique banqueting hall and games room. Retracing your steps back up the illuminated cellar stairway and kitchen you enter into the Garden Room. From here the elevated staircase and doorway opens onto the Walled Garden, allowing you to relax over breakfast or with a drink while you savour scents and views of the French country garden. Adjoining the garden room is the Sitting Room, which with its exposed timbered ceiling beams, stone walls and log fireplace, offers the ideal setting in which to relax and unwind. Upstairs three individually designed bedrooms provide ample accommodation for five people. The main feature of the sleeping accommodation is the splendid Master Bedroom complete with its Louis XIVth bed and private access to its own modern En-suite Bathroom. A double wardrobe and dressing table compliment the decor perfectly, whilst the original fireplace adds to the charm. The Single Bedroom has ample storage space, and in addition to the single bed, a child's cot is available and fits comfortably within the room. Finally having passed the Family Bathroom on the right of the landing you enter into the Twin Bedroom. A double wardrobe, four drawer chest and bedside cabinets with lamps make this room ideal for children and adults alike. Outside, the sheltered and private Walled Garden acts as a true sun trap, whilst still offering ample shade throughout the hot days and balmy evenings. There is also a patio with seating and barbecue (with an original outdoor chimney), along with a graveled garden area, shrubs and flowers.
