Wonderful find, we’ll be back!

Everything was lovely! The decor was so tasteful and yet a bit quirky (which I love). The hosts couldn’t have been nicer and the bread at breakfast was next level good.

If you can stay here do, it is wonderful!

Everything. Christopher is the most welcoming and charming host. The room was spacious and comfortable. We love Christopher’s eclectic style and the beautiful way he has created this unique little haven. He cooked us a great meal served in his cosy dining room. Great breakfast followed next morning… We are on a 5 week journey and La Grenouille Noire is one of only a handful of stand out stays that we would return to - thank you!

I enjoyed my short stay, it was great to learn about the history of the house.

Great location, close to café, chemist and bakery. The room is comfortable, very spacious and well furnished.

Well worth the meander off the main routes for traditional comforts and congenial surroundings

The whole experience was great. Christopher was the consummate host - warm, responsive, flexible, laid back. He is truly a 'hospitality personality' and works hard to make his guests feel welcome, comfortable and at ease. Our room was lovely - retro chic style in keeping with the old and interesting property - of historical significance in the lovely village. It was spacious, comfortable and clean. Extras like the tea/coffee, squidgy big sofa, lightweight bed cover and extra pillows were really appreciated. The parking adjacent to the Chambre d'Hote seemed safe and well maintained. We noted that motorbikes were also catered for which was a bonus for our fellow guests. The piece de resistance was the delicious evening meal prepared by Christopher. Everything was homemade from scratch using quality ingredients. Aperitifs, starter, main, dessert, wine and coffee/tea for 28 euro - a steal. Highly recommend contacting Christopher in advance to ensure your place at this wonderful table d'hote and to avoid disappointment as he needs prior notice.

Beautiful welcome, home and stay - with lovely hosts

From the moment I arrived to the minute I left I was so welcome, so well-looked after. Christopher and Damien - and the three beautiful cats that live there - were exceptional hosts. The rooms and building are stunning, quirky, interesting and utterly unique. My room was spotless, the bed comfortable and the complementary toiletries in the bathroom were a lovely touch (and smelled divine). I had a delicious dinner and breakfast too - I only stayed less than 24 hours but left feeling like I’d had the most lovely stay with good friends. Can’t wait to come back!

If you want to be spoilt and enjoy excellent food and wine this is a must which won’t break the bank.

Lovely homely welcome and the way the property was being brought back to life whilst keeping a lot of original features and handwork by the owner. History of the building was amazing. Very comfortable and evening meal and breakfast were exceptional, very tasty and plentiful with local produce used where possible and brilliant value.

It felt like we were staying with friends. Absolutely perfect

Historic house, tastefully furnished in the centre of the village, next to a friendly bar, with lots of parking right outside. Even on one of the busiest days of the year, Bastille day. The evening meal was superb. The hosts Chris & Damien were professional & welcoming. And the breakfast was outstanding

Wonderful host, lovely room, great value.

Great host. Huge room on first floor with lots of character. Very clean. Lovely view of the village form the windows. Comfy bed. Lounge in room. Tea and coffee in room. Bathroom was large and adequate. Parking available. We booked an evening meal, which Christopher cooked for us and it was absolutely fabulous. A 3 course meal with wines of our choice. It was a really lovely evening and I wish we could have stayed longer.

Beautiful and relaxing

We stopped for 1 night on our way to Spain. Location is very good in the heart of a small village overlooking the church. Christopher and Damien were extremely accommodating and made us feel welcome. We had dinner & breakfast, everything was deliciously prepared with local products and beautifully presented. The room was spacious and well equipped with an adjacent room for our daughter. Everything we needed for our stay was available and although the house isn't entirely renovated, the finished areas are splendid with lots of character.
