Our Chambres d'hôte/Bed and Breakfast rooms in the main house

are sunny and spacious with very good king-size double beds, their own en-suite bathrooms and dressing-rooms as well as the necessary to make your own tea, coffee or herbal tea and, for those chilly winter weekends, a fire-place in each room.

The Marrakech Room was decorated by our daughter, Claire, to make you feel far from home in an ambiance of exotic warmth.

                     

The Provence Room, with its four-poster bed, was decorated in the gentle romanticism of the land of lavender and olive-trees. There is a double sofa-bed too, which makes this an ideal family room.

                                   

The Green Room, with its flowers and tradition, has twin beds which can join together to make a very comfortable double bed.

You can, of course, at any time, enjoy the comfort of the main lounge where you can read or watch TV or a dvd, play the piano, or just relax with a glass of wine in the dining-room and enjoy the contemporary art from Zimbabwe done by exceptionally good young artists from  that beautiful country. Once again, you will feel far from home, and yet completely at home in this house so full of local history but which lends itself so perfectly to discovering others.

                              

            

               

A big breakfast awaits you in the morning, hopefully out on the sunny terrace,  in the dining-room or, on cold winter mornings, in front of the original stone fire-place, in the main kitchen. You will taste our local produce, freshly baked bread and croissants, jams, milk and cheeses from a nearby farm.

You will need this convivial moment to start your busy day of sight-seeing!  We are here to help you plan your day and to give you all the relevant touristic information.
