Very well equipped, beautifully converted French cottage.We had a comfortable stay and everything we needed.
Christelle and Lionel were very welcoming and left some lovely,local goodies for us.
A peaceful patio area with patio furniture,and parking.
Location was perfect.Quite rural but within easy reach to villages for bakeries and restaurants.
Charroux is a gorgeous medieval village and only a 7min drive.
A clear water river perfect for visiting with children is at Jenzat,again,only about a 10min drive.
La Ferme de St Sebastian is a must do restaurant visit.A fantastic meal and experience.
Superbe accueil des propriétaires et toujours disponibles pour nous rendre notre séjour très agréable. Un gîte impeccablement tenu. Répond parfaitement à nos attentes
Petite maison très agreable et aménagée avec gout. Tres bien equipee également. Les propriétaires sont tres attentionnés (petit cadeau de bienvenue en fonction de l'âge se notre fille, tres apreciable) et disponibles si besoin. Chambre parental en mezzanine et la chambre enfant en enfilade (pas genant pour nous). Il faut juste faire attention pour les locataires avec un chien car les propriétaires passent par la cour pour rentrer chez eux. Endroit un peu perdu mais trés au calme (supermarché à 15mins). Beaucoup de balades et rando à faire. Nous recommandons ce gite!
