Holiday Away from it all in the Auvergne

The Farmhouse

Charming, Rustic, Traditional - these are all words used by friends and visitors to describe our Auvergnate Farmhouse in which we lived happily for ten years changing it from barely habitable to a much loved home. Now that we have moved to our newly renovated property opposite the original Farm buildings, we have decided to let out the Farmhouse and are pleased to say it has now been awarded Two Stars.
Strictly for non-smokers the Farmhouse is more suitable for adults and can sleep four and a baby in three bedrooms. It has a modern bathroom, well fitted kitchen and comfortable lounge/diner. Two of the bedrooms were part of the original old farmhouse. One is a double room with comfortable double bed, wardrobes and storage cupboards and beautiful views across our garden and meadow to the Monts de Forez, views which are constantly changing depending on the season.

The second bedroom is small and contains a single bed. It has good hanging and storage space. This room was originally used for salting hams and therefore only has a small window.

The third bedroom is completely new, large and airy with views in the direction of Le Monestier. This room has its own washbasin and has two single beds which make a very comfortable six foot double bed when used together. It also has a wardrobe and chest of drawers.

The bathroom has a bath with shower over, W.C, washbasin and heated towel rail.

Downstairs you are in the original living area which has been partly renovated. The ceiling is low and beamed. There is a large open fireplace with a very efficient wood burning stove, comfortable chairs, settee and a table with seating for six. Books, music centre and games are provided as well as information on the surrounding area. The house is also partially centrally heated from our wood pellet boiler.

The kitchen is slightly higher than the lounge as we have built it over a vaulted cave situated beneath the house. Standing between the beams there is no problem when washing up! It is well equipped with a cooker, dishwasher, microwave, fridge, toaster, coffee maker and all kitchen equipment necessary to give you that "home from home" feel.

The Farmhouse has its own parking area and has an attached modern utility room which is shared with guests in The Farm Cottage.
Outside you have access to our large garden and orchard and you also have your own area outside the front door for relaxing or dining.

Weekly prices for four people are from £475 in the low season to, £575 in peak season. Other prices apply if your party is smaller or has additional people. Cleaning is done before your arrival and we just ask you to leave everything tidy to make it easier for us after you leave. Changeover day is Sunday but short breaks and different start days are possible by arrangement.

If you are looking for a comfortable, traditional stone house in which to spend a relaxing holiday, the Farmhouse could be for you.
