Fossils galore - this one is in the master bedroom (15 / 15)
The house dates from 1778 – the date is carved above the fireplace in the living room beside the ancient bread oven. The exposed stonework – spot the fossils – and the beams exist happily with ‘tout confort moderne’. The big kitchen combines farmhouse homeliness with state of the art convenience. There are all the appliances you would expect: oven, microwave, gas hobs, fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher, cafetière, kettle and toaster. There is a big wood stove, well supplied with logs and kindling. We offer crockery, cutlery and glassware for 12 people, tea towels and pots and pans to please the most serious cook.
Ancient meets modern in the living room. A modern wood stove sits next to an ancient bread oven. The tv and hifi contrast with the ancient stone sink, brought up to date, in the drinks corner under the stairs. An antique English chaise longue coexists with a modern rocker/recliner from Amazon. We offer an electronic keyboard, a variety of books for all ages, writing and drawing materials and what our son used the call ‘bored games’.
The master bedroom is on the ground floor and has en suite facilities. You will find a loft bedroom in a corridor, complete with a ladder, a lamp and a bookcase for bedtime reading. The two upstairs bedrooms feature queen size beds and patchwork bedspreads. They also feature low beams. DUCK OR GROUSE signs are on our To Do list!
On Arrival.....
An optional welcome meal - menu to be agreed beforehand to cater for allergies, etc. Once you are settled, it would be our pleasure to welcome you properly with a home cooked meal and local wine.
The property is situated in Marcilly in the Morvan with its beautiful scenery and countless tourist attractions. Marcilly is in the commune of Cervon, 5 km from Corbigny with its shops, banks, post office, doctors and tourist offices. Visitors would be well advised to do some research beforehand to select the places they most want to see.
We have ticked a great many boxes, but please ask for further details. For example we have ticked "wood turning": the wood turner at St Père displays and sells his work but is unlikely to let you have a go! Caving is confined to show caves. The nearby large lakes offer fishing, sailing, canoeing, boat trips, rambles, etc, and the small lake at Lormes (10 km) offers a beach, free swimming and cheap boating. The nearby canal offers boat hire and various trips as well as beautiful walks.
History enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice - check out Autun and Beaune - and there is a dinosaur park, Cardoland, for the children. Do not miss Guédelon, where a château fort is being built using traditional materials and methods.
We did not tick Singing, although the Cité de la Voix at Vézelay offers choral acticities and concerts. Ceramics would be covered by the museum at Nevers, as well as several local potteries.
Markets, brocantes and vide-greniers are a delight, always advertised in the local free newspaper, Le Criquet.

Large spacious cottage so we as friends had space for privacy which we needed during our holidays, also very well equipped , little son loved his mysterious sleep area, garden large so always a convenient spot to stay in sun or shadow.
