Overview
LAuvergne looks across a gently-sloping valley, dotted with oak coppices and meadows of beautiful cream and brown Normandy cows - les vaches Normandes. Hameau d'Auvergne is home to Toulouse geese, Muscovy ducks and often ducklings and nests of eggs - hatching in spring and early summer. If guests are interested in keeping ducks and geese, we are happy to pass on tips on rearing, feeding, breeding, water courses/ponds and how to give domestic waterfowl a free-range life while maintaining and enjoying a flower-garden and vegetable plot!
Two small dairy and beef suckler herd farms lie on either side of the meadow with outdoor calving. The self-contained holiday accommodation, with private meadow area for guests, adjoins the owners' 18th century stone farm cottage. Guests are able to enjoy circular walks along deserted lanes, beginning with a bridle path only accessible on foot or by bicycle in spring and summer carpeted with foxgloves, primroses, wild orchids and honeysuckle. Popular with walkers and naturalists, the valley boasts barn owls, tawny owls, buzzards and sparrow hawks, not to mention pine martens, weasels, stoats, hares and wild boar; the latter snuffling along the chemins at night, digging up acorns.
A choice of clean, sandy beaches (often almost deserted) are just a 15 min drive from the cottage - one with surveillance for little ones at peak season.
We are also fortunate to have an idyllic forest just 2km away with a mature aboretum.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
