Le Relais des Eléphants Colorés

We just had our second stay here, and it lived up to the high expectations from our first visit. The hosts Terry and Caz are exceptional, as is the property. The accommodation is perfect, and the food is absolutely divine, I struggle as a vegan to get a decent meal when travelling, but Caz is an amazing cook, and nothing is too much trouble. We will definitely be back!

We travelled from the UK on our way to Toulouse, the location and time from Calais made this the perfect halfway stop. We booked one night on the way down and 3 nights on the way back. Riding a motorbike meant that a secure parking area was a must, they have a gated area I could leave my bike in safely. Fun place to stay, plenty of facilities as listed, the outside bar area and fire pit made for a very enjoyable stay. Quiet and secluded, on the way back we toured some of the local sites using this as our base. There is a lot to see and do in the area, a must visit is the "Pays Du Dome" a great day out, very scenic, we took the train to the top of the volcano and saw the ruins of the monastery at the top. The room was very well appointed, clean and comfortable with an en-suite bathroom. Still a bit chilly for the pool, but will definitely stay here again later in the year when the weather is hotter! As for the breakfast... prepare to gain a few kgs!

Back from a wonderful stay at this beautiful property ! Caz & Terry couldn't have been more welcoming - the food on offer was absolutely delicious ! And the roast dinner went down an absolute treat ! Terry also performed for us one night which was great :) - He is a singer/songwriter. The rooms are very comfortable, and have all of the amenities. The bathroom and shower were very impressive too - great pressure, and loads of space ! The surroundings are beautiful - some lovely woodlands just seconds away. The nearby town was great too, lots to see and do. Am looking forward to visiting again, and exploring more of the area - the nearby Volcano and Park are definitely on the list. Thank you again to Caz & Terry for a very memorable stay !

I spent a few nights at this beautiful farm house out of season. It was stunning! My room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. I ate with the lovely couple Caz and Terry and the food was of chef quality. The mushroom and cheese soup was to die for! I visited the local town of Montlucon and had a nice lunch at the Nouvelle Auberge, roughly 30 minutes by car. I would highly recommend this lovely farmhouse and look forward to going back in the summer to swim in the pool and visit the nearby lakes and volcano.
