Unbelievably welcoming- a real home from home. Warm, cosy and inviting.

From the minute we arrived we were treated like family. Nothing was too much trouble for Noreen and Jean Paul who are both extremely interesting and will engage and enthral you with their incredibly wide ranging life experiences. The property is beautifully decorated and presented with access to a comfortable lounge among other facilities. The breakfast was awesome and was tailored to our taste by Noreen. High quality produce beautifully presented. Noreens home made nettle products are fascinating and extremely healthy. Highly recommended!!

We had the most amazing time with Noreen and Jean Paul. Thank you so much for having us and taking such good care of us. The place is absolutely beautiful and you will not feel like staying at an B&B but staying with friends or family. Cosy room and the most comfortable bed we slept in for ages, delicious home cooked breakfast, amazing stories and anything else you can wish for.Thanks for all the great recommendations and we really hope to come back one day!!!

Wonderful hosts, wonderful house, wonderful country. You won't be disappointed.

From the moment we arrived (3 hours early) Noreen and JP were exceptional hosts, nothing was too much trouble. They shared their knowledge generously, which we are so grateful for. It helped us to visit and see things that we probably wouldn't have otherwise thought of. The Vandees is a lovely house in a wonderful setting and is decorated uniquely in Noreen and JP's artisan style. Our room was lovely and the bed was so comfortable, it felt home from home. The breakfast was spot on every morning and certainly filled you up for the day. Our last night at The Vandees was our anniversary and Noreen very kindly gave us and two other guests a lift to the local town for dinner and then picked us up a few hours later, it was a lovely thing to do.

Exceptional - wonderful hosts!

Wow! We had an exceptional time, JP & Noreen are excellent hosts, going above and beyond. Their accommodation is very unique, very, very comfortable, the most amazing bed, huge and so comfortable and luxurious, along with our room, so cozy and spacious, so peaceful with a gorgeous bathroom. We had an amazing breakfast, lovely selection of fresh fruit, freshly cooked fry done to perfection, Noreen’s own baked soda and bread was delicious! We had such a warm welcome, lovely wine and what a fantastic couple! They are so interesting, friendly and make you feel so welcome. Would 100% recommend, an absolute gem!
