Limousin Tipi at La Tuilerie

This last half term the family sped down to the Limousin region of France for a relaxing week in a Tipi on the delightful farm of Paula and Graham Grant known as La Tuilerie (www.limousin-farm-holidays.com). They currently have two Tipis and a fine looking Yurt, and the word is that they are expecting delivery of a second Yurt imminently. Everything about the accommodation and amenities was excellent, The Tipi, set amongst the meadow flowers in a field right by the farm, was comfortably furnished with futons. The dedicated Farmhouse building with showers, toilets (each Tipi and Yurt has their own shower and toilet allocated) and a very thoroughly equipped kitchen and dining room ensured this trip was luxurious.

But most of all it was the friendliness of Paula, Graham and their four children that made the holiday so memorable and relaxing. This is a working farm, with plenty of sheep, cows, chickens, pigs and rabbits to see and hear. They have there work cut out keeping all of that going, but still found time to cook us Pizzas in their outdoor Pizza oven on the Wednesday night and lay on a fantastic four course meal on the Friday night.



Our two boys had a great time playing, cycling, swimming in nearby lakes or just lazing around reading in one of the many hammocks temptingly put up near the Pirates Fort they have assembled.

I can heartily recommend La Tuilerie, but book early, I think the return visits of previously enchanted families will mean they get filled up pretty quickly!!
