A Calm & Rural Retreat

Petites randonnées entre ensoleillement et orages, une floraison à merveille. Un emplacement géographique presque idéal où vous rayonnez sans trop faire de kms. Un jardin de contemplation, des propriétaires charmants.

Petit gîte super équipé pour deux personnes. Environnement très agréable avec les vaches Salers dans les champs. Grand terrain verdoyant et terrasse. Propriétaires charmants

Situé dans un hameau paisible et bien placé pour la découverte du Cantal, ce cottage offre tout ce qui est nécessaire au séjour. Hannah a veillé à de nombreux détails pour rendre les vacances agréables et nous a même donné des conseils de sorties. Merci d’avoir mis à disposition les guides de balades et autres bonnes adresses.

Endroit idéalement situé pour rayonner sur les monts du Cantal et pour randonner. Propriété très calme, aucun voisin sur 2 kilomètres à la ronde pendant une semaine. Gîte bien équipé. Hannah nous a très bien accueillis et on vous remercie encore pour votre sympathie. Au plaisir de revenir.

Gîte très bien équipé, au calme et proche de la nature. Un peu loin des commerces, mais en s'y préparant, il n'y a aucun problème.

Probably rates as the most peaceful, most rural retreat we've ever booked and we've been to France a lot. Ok, the weather was exceptional and sitting on the decking in the evening sun and rural calm was memorable. This particular region is really lovely with unspoiled villages and countryside all around. The accommodation is spacious and very well equipped for two. Good contact from the owners who were more than helpful. There are plenty of walks in the near vicinity and Salers and other local villages are a delight. Plenty of wildlife for the enthusiast but most of all a real sense of being away from it all.

The cottage is in quite a remote place which suited us fine. A lovely area to walk in with tremendous views even on short walks. The cottage is simple but very well furnished and equipped. There is a good outside sitting area which we made use of every day. The owners where very helpful and friendly. Giving information about shops (all a drive) and walks. The later was very helpful as my partner had a leg injury which restricted what we could. All together a very pleasant and relaxing couple of weeks.

The owners of the cottage, Hannah and Keith were very helpful and provided a warm welcome to the cottage. There was a folder with much useful information on the area. The cottage is set in a very quiet and tranquil location, nestled in the upper valley with three or so other houses, but with a couple of larger villlages (with small shop) only a few mins drive away. It was very clean and tidy and had all the things you need including a washing machine which was very useful. The kitchen was well equiped with all the necessary gadgets and utensils, the bedroom very comfortable and nicely decorated. The living space was really spacious with huge inglenook firplace with a woodburner which, unfortunately, we were unable to make use of due to the hot weather. The wet shower room is compact but very clean and stylish.The cottage is set at the edge of a large plot which gives a lovely sense of space. One of the real delights was eating outside in the evening on the decking area (bbq and fuel included - nice touch!) which provided the most beautiful views down the valley to the west with the setting sun. A real time to savour! A good network of roads provides easy access around the area for walks and cycling, and there are some beautiful villages to visit, including the renowned Salers. There are some very nice restaurants in the area. We tried one in Fontanges, the Auberge de l'Aspre, which was excellent. If peace and quiet, and a great sense of tranquility are what you are after then this is a fabulous getaway. Probably the only thing missing for me was a wifi connection but if you are trying to 'getaway' perhaps this is not such a bad thing.
