This ruralhut was originally a farmhouse, more than 350 years ago, where you would live together with the chickens and the goats. The animals have left now and the farmhouse has been converted into a very atmospheric and rustic holiday home with old restored furniture. It’s a delight to be in the living room right underneath the original oak holding beams. A large wood burning stove can also be found here, for the more chilly evenings in spring and autumn. In the simple, but very complete kitchen, you can prepare delicious meals, which you can then serve at the old oak table or in the garden under the large linden tree. The cottage is located in the “Bourbonnais”, a historic region known for the graves of Bourbon and the many castles and forts. The region is Auvergne and the department is Allier. You can find this stunning place on the edge of the village of Gannay sur Loire, with on one side the beautiful Loire river (most natural river of Europe) and on the other the Canal Lateral with a cozy harbor with a bistro and an old sluice. On terrain you will find a swimming pool, large playground with a hut, terraces (sun and shade), picnic tables, pistes de petanque, volleyball court, football pitch, trampoline and brick barbecue. Eight kWh of electricity per day is included in the rental price.
