Wonderful location, handy for motorway but far enough off the beaten track to be unspoilt. Beautiful interior for guest accommodation and breakfast area. Clean and tidy.

“relaxing, peaceful and charming”
This was our stop off on the way down to the south of France and it was lovely, very peaceful, we both had a great night's sleep in the peaceful calming environment. Although we didn't spend much time there, we did have a walk around the village and it was lovely. In the evening we drove down, which is bigger and got a pizza. We liked it so much we booked it again for our return trip. Staff were lovely accommodating and friendly and their dogs provided some entertainment. Would highly recommend.

“Peaceful, charming and family friendly stay en route to the South of France”
The “bears den” room was perfect for our family of 4, well set out and lovely decor. The property is beautiful and the location very peaceful and charming. The children loved the garden area and the dogs at breakfast were a highlight, especially Ralph the beagle such a character. Breakfast was well presented and Patrice was a most welcoming host

Beautiful old house & gardens. The rooms were detached from the main house. Set in a very quiant village, ideally situated for our 1 night stopover on route to the south. Easy parking too. Patrice & his family were very welcoming & we would highly recommend.

Having arrived in the area after our car broke down on a family road trip, we were received by the owners with great helpfulness and support. We were able to extend our stay in a different room despite the accomodation being nearly fully booked. The owners and staff were eager to help at every point and helped to make a very stressful car breakdown situation so much easier with their advice and practical support. The property itself is really charming and the area is really beautiful and quiet.

“Wonderful experience, nice little village.”
A charming property, ideal for us travelling with our 2 granddaughters. The family room offered a separate bedroom for them which they loved. Beds were really comfy too. We received a very warm welcome from Patrice and his 2 very friendly but well behaved dogs. Patrice was very kind and made a special gluten free option for one of our daughters which we really appreciated. The property is located within very easy reach of the motorway and therefore ideal as a stopover in the way to the south west. We would not hesitate in recommending this property and we will definitely be returning. Thank you Patrice for a lovely stay.
