The Farm Cottage

Recently awarded THREE STARS for its comfort and facilities by our local Tourist Board THE FARM COTTAGE is the perfect place for your special holiday.

Your holiday home is completely self-contained and approached from a surfaced country lane. There is a sitting area just outside the front door but you have the choice of several other garden areas, all perfect places for lazing, lounging or eating outside. A barbecue is available for your use. There is no problem with parking your car and there is a lockable storage area where bikes can be safely left.

Once inside, the main floor is open plan. The modern well-equipped kitchen area leads directly off the lounge/diner. Appliances include a four-ring gas cooker with oven, a fridge, a microwave, an electric kettle, toaster and a coffee maker. We aim to provide everything you might need to give you that "home from home" feel.

Kitchen

The shower room has a large shower, washbasin, heated towel rail and W.C. It is bright and clean and has a Velux window. Both shower room and kitchen have high ceilings up to the roofline.

Bedroom

A wooden staircase leads up from the lounge to the galleried bedroom, which has a comfortable 4'6" double bed, a double wardrobe and plenty of drawer and storage space. There is reduced headroom in parts as the ceiling follows the roofline, but there is no need to stoop. The gallery looks out over the kitchen area and a Velux window gives views up towards Le Monestier.

Lounge/Diner Lounge

The living area is spacious and comfortable and has views across our garden and meadow to the Monts de Forez - views that are constantly changing throughout the seasons. Heating, when necessary, is provided by a log effect gas fire and electric panel heaters; use of which is included in your rental. Also included is use of our separate Utility Room with washing machine, tumble drier, airers and freezer.

LE MAYET is a small and attractive hamlet with seven houses. It is part of the commune of Le Monestier and nestles in the hills at around 830 metres. Our property, which consists of old stone built farm buildings, flower meadows, gardens, fruit trees and a large vegetable plot, covers an area of nearly two acres. The surrounding countryside is farmland and forest. The air is clean and on a clear night the stars are amazing.

There are many pleasant and varied walks in the immediate vicinity and a good range of mountain bike trails nearby. The pretty village centre of Le Monestier is a five-minute drive or a fifteen minute walk up the hill. Standing at the feet of the statue of the Virgin Mary, you can enjoy wonderful views of the surrounding countryside.

St Amant Roche Savine, with its post office and bread shop, is a short drive away and down in the valley, at a distance of eight kilometers, lies the medieval market town of Ambert with its numerous shops, excellent supermarkets, restaurants, museums, swimming pool and lake.
