“The whole experience was just a dream!”

I loved everything about it: the attention to details so that you feel welcome, relaxed and pampered.

Everything was clean, organised, and comfortable

Beautiful location and very nice hosts!

One of the best and most memorable evening meals of our lives with two charming hosts. Loved the garden with lots of seating areas and a perfect evening dog stroll from the property. Delicious breakfast with many options

“Idyllic house, wonderful food and exceedingly comfortable. Just divine”

Le Cuisinier en Combraille is set in an idyllic location, nestled in the Auvergne countryside. It is a gorgeous house, much care taken to decorate and accessorise. Jacco and Cees are wonderful hosts, with great attention to detail and the food is fine dining at its best. 3 courses and a muse bouche! Totally delicious. Or bedroom and bed were very comfortable indeed and we had everything we needed and more. Thank you Jacco and Cees

“Third time and it’s better every time”

Delightful. Comfortable. Fantastic cuisine.

“A culinary escape in nature”

Situated in a quiet, verdant valley, this is wonderful escape. The property has beautifully kept gardens and a lovely covered terrace. Jacco's cooking is excellent and the breakfast is also far superior to most French B&Bs. Jacco and Cees are charming hosts. The rooms themselves are fairly small and being in the basement of the house are a little dark and have a very slight cellar scent. But they are well equipped and each has its own patio area.

“Wonderful stop- well worth the detour to find it.”

Welcoming and genial hosts. Fantastic fine dining dinner elegantly served and excellent value. Beautiful gardens.

“Truly a perfect piece of heaven!”

Psst, don't tell anyone, I would like to keep it a secret place :-) - Truly a perfect piece of heaven! The room, the garden, the services, the incredible hosts, the food, the breakfast / dinner deck.... everything together makes for a such a wonderful relaxing place to stay in a beautiful part of France. I normally don't return to places as there is so much to see and experience in the world but this one.... Gents, we will back!

“A beautiful setting, superb accommodation en route to the south of france.”

I stayed here for one night, travelling on my motorbike en route to Montpellier. Jakob went out of his way to offer me parking for my bike in his barn. Their house is a beautifully restored building in an idyllic, rural setting and they immediately made me feel at home. There's a lovely garden and the my loft room had superb views over the countryside. Dinner was made by Jakob and exceptional. Had I not had a long ride the next day I would have sampled some of Cees's excellent cellar.

“Exceptional , a very special stay.”

Fabulous stay, excellent hosts, wonderful room , delicious food. All with an amazing eye for detail; The hosts even made our dog welcome.

“Peaceful location with attentive hosts and excellent meal.”

Everything

“If you want a high quality stay in a rural location, with exceptional food, you cannot do better in ham to choose to sta”

Exceptionql hosts, the warmest of welcomes, fabulous room, and glorious food, all in a lovely quiet rural location, with a delightful garden to explore. We had stayed once before, in 2019, and had been trying to create an opportunity to revisit ever since. We will not leave it so long after Neil the next visit!

“A real gem but staying a secret so it’s not overwhelmed!”

The food is to die for ~ Michelin star dining without the price tab ~ I eat food I wouldn’t normal consider but it’s delicious my eyes are opened ~ it’s a real treat when we know we can stay and dine here.

“Idyllic, wonderful and welcoming!”

This was our second stay at Le Cuisiner and it didn't disappoint. Jakob and Cees are such warm and welcoming hosts. The location is gorgeous, its idyllic, very tucked away and peaceful. Our room, a superior double with terrace leading into the beautiful garden was really lovely, comfortable and very spacious. We loved the painting of the cows! Dinner which was served outside on the deck (we stayed in August) was a highlight. Sadly we only stayed the one night as we were heading South but this is a perfect spot and a wonderful place to stay. We will definitely return and for longer next time.

“Once we arrived and met by Jakob & Cees we began to relax into this tranquil location. It was the birdsong that I he”

The gardens, the tranquility, the hosts and the standard of food

“Country Retreat with superb dinner available on the garden terrace”

Fabulous overnight stay in the country with kind and welcoming hosts. The dinner was superb and highly recommended. Thank you for the beautiful large room which opened out onto a gorgeous garden and had our own chairs, table and umbrella on the small terrace right outside our room.

“Go there! Feel the atmosphere yourself. You will love it.”

We have been here before an knew it was good. It was even better than I remember. I would come again and again! Absolutely lovely, the garden, the house, the owners, the food. Love it, love it, love it!

“Heaven”

What an amazing place. Everything about it, from the rooms, the gardens and the delicious meals, was incredibly beautiful and presented with a real sense of care and attention to detail. The whole experience is thanks to, and a reflection of the vision, talents and energy of Jacco and Cees, who make you feel welcome, special and lucky. Jacco's cooking is spectacular. It was a pleasure to meet them and a huge pleasure to stay there.
