Property Description

B&B nightly: We provide a B&B service on a "nightly" basis.

B&B HOLIDAYS: We can provide half or full board holidays. These are ideal for those wanting to be "catered for", but wanting to "do your own thing". You have use of the garden for those sunny afternoons. We can provide information for lovely places to visit and local maps for walking.

FULL BOARD WALKING HOLIDAYS: We invite you to join us on our walking holidays. Our walks are tailored to suit the needs of the group with a choice of day or half day walks, all are moderate to easy levels (maximum day-walks of around 8 miles)

We like to have the time to enjoy the scenery and wild life, and feel at peace. La Creuse, at first sight gives the impression of a rolling countryside, in fact it is a high plateau crisscrossed with gorges and lakes, making for some fascinating walks.

We invite you to join us on our walking days. Our walks are tailored to suit the needs of the group with a choice of many day or half day walks, all are moderate to easy levels (maximum day walks of around 8 miles)

We like to have the time to enjoy the scenery and wild life, and feel at peace. La Creuse, at first sight gives the impression of a rolling countryside, in fact it is a high plateau crisscrossed with gorges and lakes, making for some fascinating walks.

France is very proud of its walking systems and all walks are well marked. The local trails that we use offer varying interests, from wild fauna and flora, to ancient legends. The following are some examples of our walks.

Cycling: the local area is perfect for short or long rides through the winding country lanes and paths

Nutritional advice: Di is a qualified nutritionist and is on hand to give you advice and tips about making the most of your food.

Healing "Tasters": Including....

  • Experience the hands on relaxation of Reiki healing

  • Guided meditation and visualisation

  • Healing massage

  • Relaxation techniques

And much more: From fishing to swimming, to a visit to a local chateau, or to the beautiful old city of Montluçon, or just going nowhere and enjoy being peaceful. There is plenty to keep you occupied in the local area.

By the end of your stay we hope that you will be able to take a part of what you have experienced, home with you, to use in your everyday life; be it a small change to your attitude towards food, or determination to build in ‘time for self' into your busy lives. We hope that you will have a really lovely, relaxing, thought provoking week in a peaceful environment in the centre of France.
