Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
The Correze area is a road cyclist’s paradise - undulating but with some good climbs and descents, lovely scenery, very little traffic and some great cafes for coffee stops. James has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the local roads and recommended or led rides to suit our differing abilities, varying ambitions and the changeable weather conditions. Every ride involved a relaxing coffee and/or lunch stop at one of the many picturesque villages or towns in the area. When the cycling is over we were welcomed back with a slice of Sam’s wonderful home-made cakes then the chance to relax in the beautifully restored barn or grounds before dinner which was exceptional every night we ate there. Sam is a brilliant cook who uses mainly locally sourced ingredients including many from her own kitchen garden. The food at every meal was healthy yet very tasty and beautifully presented. I travelled as a solo traveller and it just so happened that the other guests were also solo travellers. The relaxed atmosphere created by Sam and James and the communal meals meant that it was easy to get to know the other guests and we soon gelled as a group. Overall, the Correze Cycling experience is wonderful.…

Sam and James are wonderful, gracious hosts at the most amazing home tucked away in Espagnac. There's everything you could ask for - bikes, expert cycling guides, beautiful hills, a pool, a cute do, and lovely views. The photos on their website do not lie! I haven't mentioned the nicely furnished home and delicious meals all prepared by Sam. You can also go for hiking holidays; I'd love to go again and mix it up! Self-catering holidays are also possible. Be sure to venture into the nearby towns, especially Brive!

We spent a splendid week in this B&B. We were about the only guests. The British all had to cancel, unfortunately due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The house is, however, full corona proof. Dinners outside or inside at 1.5 meter. Beautiful house, very cosy and comfortable rooms. The domain itself is also gorgeous with a beautiful pond. Splendid swimming pool. But, most of all, the hosts (particularly the lady of the house) made it all. 100% English, but also 100% French since also naturalized, and completely immersed into the local culture. Breakfast and dinners very enjoyable. We will be back!

Our fourth visit here was just as good as all the previous times. Great hospitality, delicious food, superb rides on an endless variety of brilliant roads - this is the home of the most civilised cycling anywhere. If you like being on a bike, this is the place to come for a holiday that offers comfort, interesting surroundings, beautiful scenery and just plain good fun. Every day I'm here I get that same great feeling of freedom that I remember from when I first learned to ride a bike. There's a lot to be got out of spending a day exploring on a bike, especially in this part of the world.

Correze was a great find! James and Sam have a fantastic knowledge of the area and could not have been more hospitable, beautiful accommodation. And it's a great cycling area, worse dilemma of the week was whether to go out cycling again or spend the day relaxing in the garden.

Nine members of our cycling club visited Correze Cycling for a second time in June this year having had a fabulous time there last year. Visiting somewhere for a second time can sometimes be a disappointment but this definitely wasn’t, it was every bit as good as last year. Nothing was too much for Sam & James, our visit coincided with the heatwave in France and they moved the whole day around so that we could cycle before breakfast to avoid the heat. We set off at 7am and got back between 11 & 12 am ready for the fabulous breakfast! If you want a base to cycle an endless variety of routes that has fabulous food and accommodation try Correze Cycling you won’t be disappointed.

I just had a brilliant week's holiday with correze cycling. The accommodation is really lovely, all rooms with en suites, and all very clean and beautifully set up.The hosts, James and Samantha (Sam), who own the property, really know how to make you feel welcome and relaxed whilst providing superb food, and great cycle rides. The whole place really 'works', there bieng a flow from bike shed, to wash room, to brewing up facilities, to bedrooms, and out to the pool area and down to the extremely pretty fishing lake, with a small rowing boat you can take out and row between the water lilies. There's chance to do great cycle rides in a variety of the french countryside, down into the valleys, or up into the mountains. And also chance to really relax and chill out. This was definitely a ten out of ten holiday. It was also unbelievable value for money. Everything was perfect and the food was incredible.…

Spent 1 glorious week here with a group of friends in this lovely location. Our hosts could not have been more accommodating or friendly. The food was excellent, and the cycling fantastic. Hope to be able to return sometime

Recently spent 5 nights here for a cycling holiday and what a find! The location itself provides a range of cycling options from meandering country lanes (very quiet of course as this is France) to hillier routes that provide a decent test of the legs which are rewarded with spectacular views. Then comes the indoor bit; the accommodation and general ambience; Sam and James are great hosts. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was excellent and their knowledge of the local area helped make for a great holiday. Certainly one to visit again.
