Fabulous Find

Pascal and Catherine are fantastic hosts. Nothing is too much trouble and the breakfasts & dinner were amazing. Rooms are very well equipped, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed the use of their garden and having access to the jacuzzi was an added plus. If there was a rating higher than 10 we would definitely give it!

The hosts were so amazing. We speak english and Catherine went out of her way to explain everything. They were happy to chat and answer our questions and although Pascal did not speak english he recommended places to eat and to see on our onward journey. Lovely homemade and locally sourced breakfast. The house was facinating and the garden peaceful and relaxing.

Perfect place in a fairly remote area of France.

I loved this place, and especially their beautiful garden. We sat there each evening. Pascal and Katherine are wonderful hosts and nothing was too much trouble. My French improved a lot, as I spoke it a each day. It is an area with little English. Pascal's food was delicious too. Breakfast was huge! Please be aware, that you really need a car here. We were aware and travelled a lot. It is a lovely and quiet part of France. This, for us, was the perfect place for what we wanted.

fully meeting all the expectations and very impressed by the quality of eveything

We were very impressed by these state of the art facilities. Staff was very helpful and fantastic breakfast with lots of local and home made products. An excellent landing place between the north and the south. We do not often write feedback but in this case we make the extra effort. The people found us excellent and typical restaurants in the neighbourhood.
