“Elegant accommodation with everything one could want.”
Wonderful accommodation in her house. We felt like special guests. The garden cafe was super and the food and wine excellent and super value. Caroline couldn't have been more helpful.

“Characterful chambre d'hôte”
Beautiful historic house, with lovely features and plenty of space in the upper family suite. Our host Caroline was very accommodating and we thoroughly enjoyed our home from home. Breakfast was tasty and our dogs had a relaxed stay too.

“A real find - and excellent value for money”
A beautiful 17th century renovated property, with lots of period features, and a friendly and welcoming owner. My ground floor room was very spacious, with separate bedroom and sitting area, well-equipped bathroom (with hairdryer and toiletries), and its own little terrace adjacent to the private car park at the back of the property. You can also access the main garden and its seating area if desired. The adjacent cafe run by the owner is open a few days a week - unfortunately not while I was there. Guests have use of the kitchen area if required, along with access to the fridge for food storage etc., though my room also had a kettle and teabags/coffee sachets, so I didn't need the kitchen. Breakfast was copious, with tea or coffee, croissant, baguette and other breads, yoghurt, selection of jams, and fruit juice. I would very much recommend this property if you're in the area or passing through.

“Great stay, great breakfast, a perfect one night stop.”
Such a great stay. I was greeted by a very friendly hostess who showed me around and found me a nice secure spot to park my motorbike in the gated courtyard. It was a short walk up to the town and I had a good nose around before dinner in one of the local restaurants. A nice breakfast with decent coffee was just what I need to start the day.

Our host Caroline was perfect! We had our own apartment in her lovely home. She would prepare us breakfast every day and would clean our room when we were off somewhere. If you need anything just knock on her door and she will be happy to help you. She also has parking in her home. She has a cafe open on certain days of the week with a beautiful garden. We will definitely stay in her place again!
