La Vieille Auberge is an amazing house in a wonderful location and the combination makes for a perfect holiday. Our first trip in 2009 was so enjoyable that we returned again in 2010.

La Vieille Auberge is simply stunning, not only is it a beautiful spacious house with immense character but it is furnished to the highest spec with quality linen, comfortable beds etc. The village was a joy to stay in, we were made welcome by French neighbours and the location was ideal to access historic towns, medieval villages and breathtaking countryside. We have stayed in many rental accommodations within France but this was by far the best and exceeded all expectations. I cannot recommend La Vieille Auberge highly enough.

What an amazing house with all you could possibly need, a real home from home. The house is just stunning with such character and the location is perfect for visiting all the local places of interest. None of us had been to that area of France before and the scenery was just spectacular. The neighbours were so kind and helpful, they were very keen to give us information on places to visit and where all the local markets were etc. The bottle of wine waiting for us on arrival was very welcome! We had a wonderful holiday and can't wait to go there again.

We had a marvellous holiday at the house this September. The house is a good example of old France and the village is situated in the most scenic area in Europe, a most relaxing and enjoyable holiday for many a year.

Within easy reach of Limoges Airport, St Julien aux Bois is a quiet and peaceful hamlet in the Correze region which makes an ideal location to experience the French way of life. Closely situated to many picturesque villages and sites of interest. The heart of the Dordogne is within easy reach by car. La Vieille Auberge is a remarkable 19th century stone house with many original features such as oak beams and floors. The kitchen is equipped with Aga style log burning range cooker and quality cooking utensils such as La Creuset. The dining hall comprises a minstrel’s gallery with a large dining table which could comfortably seat 12 to 14 people. There is a cosy sitting area with log burner for quiet evenings in. The beds are very comfortable which guarantees a good night’s sleep. You are guaranteed a warm welcome from the French speaking neighbours who can give you daily weather forecasts, in French of course. Great if you are trying to learn the language. The English owner is eager to please and welcomes feedback and suggestions to make your stay even more enjoyable.
We have visited France and rented several gites over the years and have stayed in La Vieille Auberge for the last two years in succession. We are likely to be staying there again this year and would not hesitate to recommend this accommodation to our friends and family. Bonne vacance!

Dear Neil
I have been meaning to email since we got back from our holiday to say what a fantastic house and how much we enjoyed our time at La Vielle Auberge. Anthony did write a long spiel in the visitors book but I just wanted to let you know too.
The house is amazing - you want the walls to talk to you as I imagine there would be some stories to tell! It is very well equipped with all that one could want. We also made very good use of the bikes as it is fantastic countryside for cycling, particularly to Auriac.
The boys loved the lake at Auriac as it was not too busy, had a fantastic inflatable trampoline and slide in the water and also the pedalos/mini golf were incredibly good value at only 2E 60 per person! The beach bar/cafe is also very good value with free WIFI and extremely accommodating staff as Anthony spent an entire day having to work using their WIFI! We also went to Marcillac La Croisille to waterski and the boys had a go at donuting behind the speed boat (huge rubber ring attached to ropes!) I highly recommend the lake as it is only 40 minutes drive and again good value for watersports - we found all the info in Discover Correze which we picked up from the tourist office in St Privat.
I very much hope that we will be back in the future.
With best wishes
