A unique place where the river la Sioule winds its way across its own property. The remains of the water mill and an old bridge make it extra romantic. This charming nature house consists of two separate living areas, each with its own entrance, with good sanitary facilities and a cozy kitchen. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms and an additional toilet. This left part is code 30312, for 7 persons. Code 30313, for 2 persons. Along the river there are hammocks in several places where you can read or lounge. Everyone has their own beautiful private spot on the river, in which you can swim. There are also a BBQ, a sauna by the river, wildflower-butterfly garden, sculpture garden, hiking trails. The beautiful terrace by the house is the setting for cozy breakfast-lunch or relaxing evenings. Or in the evening huddle together around the campfire and dream away under the stars. At night the tawny owl can be heard. A nature lover will not be bored for a moment here.

Nature and surroundings

The protected river la Sioule is excellent for swimming, canoeing, fishing and hiking. A wonderful place in the woods on a pristine river full of fish and crayfish. Kingfishers and great yellow wagtails fly off and on, and dippers nest literally on your doorstep. The garden with wildflowers and many species of butterflies, is colorful and surprising. The starry sky on clear nights is breathtaking. Within five kilometers are all basic amenities in the old town of Ébreuil. More stores and supermarkets can be found in Gannat 12 kilometers away. Large cities like Vichy and Clermont-Ferrand can also be reached within 40 minutes. The ancient volcanic region of the Puy de Dôme is just under an hour's drive away. Swimming at Gour de Tazenat, an old crater lake and eating ice cream there is a wonderful outing. Brocantes visits are among the possibilities. And visiting the medieval town of Charroux is definitely a must! Enjoy the diversity and beauty of our environment!

    We really enjoyed this house, the garden, the surroundings, and Darja as our host.
    The house has everything you need for a carefree two-week vacation.
    The garden is truly enormous—much bigger than it looked to us in the photos—and it offers plenty of nice spots to sit. There are more than enough chairs and hammocks to relax in, the river is wonderful for floating in, and there are sooooo many figs :)
    The surrounding area offers fun activities, including a tree-top adventure course, canoeing, a volcanic lake, a Velorail, city trips, and much more. But you really don’t have to do something every day. We were able to truly unwind.
    Darja is a truly wonderful host. She’s very helpful, kind, and always thinks of your needs. We couldn’t have asked for a better host.
    Thank you, and I think we might just stop by again sometime!

    It's a wonderful area. The Sioule Gorges are our favorite, but the nearby crater lake is also beautiful. It's not crowded, the nature is beautiful, and there's plenty of space!

    When we were there in mid-September it got quite cold. There are fireplaces and plenty of wood. Warm clothing (slippers!!) is still recommended. The landlady also provided us with plenty of extra comforters. The kitchen is so well equipped that we baked cakes (apple tree on the premises) and used the sauna.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    The house really is in the middle of nature. The location by the river is very special. You can spend a lot of time on the grounds (very large with a sauna by the river). The area was not suitable for us for cycling as we don't have e-bikes or mountain bikes. We were dependent on the car for our daily needs.

    We had a wonderful time in the cottage and enjoyed the beautiful place. The river flows right through your backyard and you can swim, play and canoe in it. The garden is also spacious and well maintained-you have more than enough places to relax. The cottage was traditional and cool inside. We especially liked the upstairs with the spacious bedrooms. We were sorry to leave and would love to come back!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Beautiful and peaceful environment. You have access to a great garden and river where you can relax and swim.

You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.
What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation.
