The estate on which this nature house is located, a former water mill, is uniquely situated on the protected river la Sioule, which winds its way across its own grounds. This charming robust nature house consists of two separate living areas, each with its own entrance. The left part of this house can be rented separately for six people, see house code 30312. In this ad it concerns the right part for two persons. This charmingly furnished cottage has access through the central terrace to the living kitchen with fireplace and wood stove. Above this is a large bedroom with separate shower/WC. From the kitchen diner a staircase leads to the downstairs storage room which has an exit to a romantic spot by the river. You have a lot of privacy here. Along the river there are hammocks in several places and a sauna. At night the tawny owl can be heard. A nature lover will not be bored for a moment here. Even in spring and autumn it is lovely to stay 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!

    The house is in a truly beautiful location on a large, green property along a stunning river. Darja is an enthusiastic and friendly hostess.
    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
    The authentic gîte is cozily furnished, has a comfortable bed, and is perfect for two people.
    The access road to the gîte isn’t ideal for low-clearance cars, but that wasn’t a problem for us.
    We’d love to come back again!

    A real little paradise!
    A beautiful, spacious property with lots of trees, shrubs, and plants. It was especially nice to relax here in the warm weather. We saw lots of birds (including birds of prey) and butterflies. The Sioule River, which flows right by the door, is wonderfully clean and has both deep and shallower sections. It’s great for swimming and (fly) fishing. There are tables and (reclining) chairs in various spots, which you can move around as you please to find sun or shade. It’s very pleasant to sit on a chair in or by the river with a drink and a good book.
    The Auvergne is beautiful in any case. However, you sometimes have to drive a bit far to reach the sights.

    We had a very nice time in this cottage. What made it extra special was Darja's hospitality: friendly, communicated clearly and gave us good tips about the area. Even surprised us with some fresh vegetables and fruit from the garden, which was a huge luxury. The whole place felt warm, personal and relaxed - really a place where you immediately relax.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    It was wonderful to stay in this cottage, especially since it is right on the river. You can hear the lapping water and relax in the hammocks hung along the bank. There are several nice sitting areas on the property, so you always had a different place to sit and enjoy yourself - whether that was with a book, a drawing or just good conversation.
