    Do you want to experience the true experience of 2 weeks in France in a quiet farm setting Then read on!

    We're heading off for 2 weeks in Feb 2026, so looking for someone who is animal-focused and likes peace but all mod cons in a converted old school house near the town of Chateauponsac.

    We have clear dates from Feb 18 to March 9th (this can be extended, but we are away from the 20th to the 8th of March.
    You will need to be able to drive, or if not, be happy with a bike (this can be an eBike).

    ----

    We have 2 dogs and 3 cats, affectionately known as the '20 legs', and they are no effort, just needing feeding and walking (including the cats - not obligatory but at night it's quite common to be walking the 20 legs up the road!

    Car-less, no worries, we even provide you with a car or even an electric bike if you prefer to go to the village to get fresh croissants or have a nice speciality tea (or coffee) in the delicious Cafe Bea.


    What we offer:
    - Private en-suite room (shower / toilet )accommodation
    - A full fridge
    - Access to a car
    - Lots of natural scenery
    - Animal lovers will like our two dogs and three cats

    We are happy to answer any questions you may have. Note that you should have transport or have an EU/International driver's licence or own car because of the location being in the countryside. We will also collect you from the station/airport so no need to worry!

    We look forward to hearing from you. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions. We always set up a Zoom or similar call to discuss, ensuring both sides are very comfortable!
