About this property

Lovely Country Farmhouse With Views, Pond, Garden & Terrace, set In 5 acres.

We have just upgraded this lovely holiday home by adding reversible warm air heating/air conditioning in addition to the wood burning stove. We have also added a TV for those long winter evenings. The gite is in a wonderful location with great views, very quiet and ideal for chilling out, walking and birdwatching. It is great for Autumn, Winter and early Spring holidays as it has double glazing, a wood burning stove that keeps the whole house warm and cosy. and reversible warm air/air conditioning system. It is only 30 mins away from the F1 circuit and 18 hole golf course of Magny-Cours. We have converted this gite from part of a barn, retaining all the original features and as far as possible using traditional materials. It is set in 2 hectares (5 acres) of meadow with only the owners on the same site. The owners’ house is on the opposite side of the large courtyard making the gite very secluded and private. Access is from a lane leading off a quiet road and you can walk for miles without having to do more than cross a metaled road. The accommodation comprises a large open plan living room of 50m2 with corner kitchen, and a huge bedroom of 48m2 with en-suite bathroom.
There is WiFi, a large selection of board games, library, petanque, table tennis table, a Canadian type canoe, 2 ponds with frogs, newts, fish, and water lilies, 180 metre golf practise range. You can bring your own clubs and balls, or we can provide them.
We do all the cleaning ourselves and take pride in doing a thorough job including the sanitizing of surfaces you are likey to touch during the Covid 19 crisis.
There is a cleaning charge of 40€ and a refundable deposit of 50€ both payable in cash on arrival. We also charge for electricity used at cost, but this rarely amounts to more than 10-12 euros per week, and for the wood for the insert wood burner should you need it. The gaz used for cooking is free of charge.
During your stay at this farm stay, you'll be close to Lurcy-Levis circuit.
  • Onsite recreation includes tennis courts
  • 3.7 mi (6 km) from Lurcy-Levis circuit and 10.2 mi (16.5 km) from Château Bourbon-l'Archambault
This farm stay offers its guests barbecue grills and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

One of the best
Very comfortably furnished with a lot of personal touches and attention to detail. Kitchen extremely well equipped. Lovely grounds and gardens - a pond with waterlilies such a pleasure in comparison with an ugly swimming-pool. Flowers everywhere outside and in every room. Delightful.

Idyllic Gite in the Pays Bourbonnais
A superb self-contained conversion of part of a rural barn set in a huge garden in mid-France. We had the ultimate week of relaxation in this rural idyll. The owners, Adrian and Shamsiah, live on the site, but their house is well separated from the Gite, and they don't interfere in any way - whilst being delighted to help, and really informative, with queries about the locality. The only noise at night is from the pond, which is absolutely full of vocal green frogs. We also had a superb day canoeing down the Allier; just one direction, because Adrian came to collect us and the canoe from a village many miles downstream.

Tranquil Idyll
This well equipped gite is situated in a quiet corner of deepest rural France. As a barn conversion it provides very spacious generous accommodation and lovely gardens to stroll around and sit in late into the night watching the stars appear in a coal-black sky, uncorrupted by light pollution. Hosts Adrian and Shamsiah are attentive and helpful without being intrusive, they manage to get the balance just right. The beautiful medieval villages and towns, the intriguing history of the region and the proximity of rivers and volcanic landscape (a day out to Puy de Dômes is a must) make this undiscovered area a gem awaiting the wave of commercialisation that tourism will, one day, surely bring. Paddle down the Allier in the C2 canoe to Apremont, it's well worth it! The only criticism I would make is nothing to do with the gite. If you're an angler and you read the tourist rhetoric, you'll think that this area is great for fishing- it's not! Most of the lakes are private and the Allier is very hard fishing. Fly fishing on the Sioule is the best option in the South of the region. If you like your French experience unsullied, calm, traditional and tranquil, this gite is for you!

Seeing is believing - an absolute gem of a property
After reading the description of this property prior to booking, I was expecting somewhere a little bit special, set in a quiet and peaceful location - and I was not disappointed in any way. In fact, if anything, I believe the description is a little understated! Right from the start of the booking, the owners Adrian and Shamsiah were more than helpful - providing detailed directions from the main French ferry terminals, which was a good job as the property is off the main road up a very small lane that would be very easy to miss. There is a refundable deposit, as well as a reasonable cleaning charge - which means you don't have to worry excessively about cleaning the property at the end of your stay. On arrival, Adrian and Shamsiah were friendly and helpful, giving me tips on places to go and things to do. A bonus for me was the range of bicycles they have available for you to use at no extra charge. The property itself was very clean and tidy, well appointed and spacious comprising of an ample kitchen, dining and lounge area whilst the bedroom on the first floor was

Un séjour agréable
Un accueil très sympa des propriétaires, ils sont toujours prêts à vous faire plaisir. Ils vous conseillent sur les visites à faire. Un parc magnifique et bien entretenu. Beaucoup de balades à effectuer, de villages à visiter. Découverte de Moulins avec un beau centre ville et un petit coup de cœur pour Apremont sur Allier avec son château, son jardin extraordinaire et un restaurant formidable indiqué par Adrian. Un grand merci Shamsiah et Adrian, nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

Merveilleux séjour
Nous avons été accueillis très chaleureusement par Adrian et Shamsiah malgré l’heure plus tardive que prévue pour notre arrivée. Il y avait un feu dans la cheminée, des bouquets de fleurs fraîches dans les vases, une bouteille de vin sur la table...tout était extrêmement propre et décoré avec goût. Le terrain autour du gîte est lui aussi très joli avec ses étangs, ses beaux arbres et le mignon potager des propriétaires. Bref, nous avons beaucoup aimé notre séjour et vous recommandons chaudement le gîte d’Adriannet de Shamsiah.

Perfecte vakantiewoning
Alles wat je maar nodig hebt ineen vakantieverblijf is aanwezig! Het landgoed is in een woord geweldig! Lieve aardige mensen en een prachtige parkachtige entourage! Het huis is ruim bemeten in een deel van een oude boerenschuur, sfeervol ingericht en van alle gemakken voorzien! Leuke omgeving voor uitstapjes naar middeleeuwse stadjes ed . Ook prima voor wandelingen in de buurt! In een woord geweldig!
