Middle Barn L’Eglezeaud 87210 La Bazeuge Haute Vienne History
We have been the owners of this barn for around ten years. It was originally a working barn but has now been divided into two holiday homes with the original section still being lived in by a French Farmer and his family (Monsieur & Madam Pescher). Our cottage was originally converted by an Englishman who used to live in France before returning to the UK in 2004.

Keys You will have been sent a front door key prior to your visit and Mme Pescher has a spare one should you loose this key. The patio door keys are to be found on a hook on the side of the cupboard near the oven.
Departure Please leave the property in the condition that you found it and ensure that you put all your rubbish in the appropriate bin outside. Unless told otherwise please do not turn off the electricity or water.
Environmental policy
The French are becoming keener on environmental issues and so recycle similar things to those we do in the UK. Please place such clean items in the blue bin outside the property near the car port of M & Mme Pescher as these bins are for the use of all three properties. Paper, cardboard, hard plastic & tin can be recycled. Glass bottles should be taken to the recycling banks in Le Dorat (on the D48 towards Montmorillon, or D942 in Magnac Laval).
Rubbish day:
Please do not put any products down the toilets other than tissue paper. Please use the plastic bags provided for any sanitary products, nappies, etc.
Water
The water should be switched on when you arrive but if not, please find the main water stop cock outside in front of the kitchen window. You will need to lift up the concrete cover using one of the fireside tools and then turn the dial 1800 .
The boiler is in the room before the downstairs bathroom and will also be switched on. It is very good and will supply all your hot water needs.
Gas
The gas for the hob is supplied from a gas bottle which is to be found in the corner cupboard near the hob itself. When this runs out you will need to take it to the local petrol stationin Le Dorat, or the Intermarche and purchase a new one. Please contact us and we will reimburse the expense.
Heating
This is provided by night storage heaters and these will have been switched on before you arrive. Please feel free to turn these up as required but do not forget to turn them off as you leave. There are two dials, one to set the output and one for timings.
The electricity is turned on and off by a switch found in the cupboard to the left of the front kitchen windows.
