Our setting is in the countryside, but we are only 4km from the N145, the main east/west route through France, enabling easy access to your daily destinations, and total peace and quiet, if you prefer to spend the day by the pool.
Our lodges are ideally located for exploring market villages, chateaux, and the lakes, which also have beaches and water sports in the summer months, or visit the mysterious Rocks of Jaumatres which has been a great hit with previous guests, particularly the tree walking activity in the park which adults and kids alike have enjoyed. Other great hits have been the Giant Maze in Gueret which also has plenty of activities, and Vulcania situated in the Volcanoes of the Puy Dome, which although comparitively a long drive, has been well worth a days visit.
Spend the day strolling around the country lanes or visiting one of the local towns, then return for a late afternoon swim in our large pool (which also has a sliding enclosure which means you can swim even in rain) Relax with sundowners on your private terrace and an evening meal listening to the owls and watching the moon rise over your lodge, or try one of the fantastic restaurants in the area.
