We booked at very short notice and were actually looking for a budget location. This came up and was very far from a low budget, but we went for it anyway - as a treat. Not quite what we expected really, but in fact we had a lovely time and would definitely recommend it. We were in one of the rooms/suites in a converted stable block. It turned out there are also rooms in the house which we might have chosen instead if we had known - they were a lot more reasonably priced. Our room had a beautiful, huge bed, a lovely bathroom with spa-bath (though I think this was not fully functional). Everything was immaculate and of a high quality. We also had a separate room with armchairs and small table. Outside we had our own private garden with reclining chairs. The breakfast was excellent - lots of very fresh breads of various types, and if you wanted it fresh meat, cheeses and eggs - plus fresh fruit. In all honesty I was not hungry again until late afternoon. It is family run and Mr and Mrs Renard are excellent and attentive hosts - nothing is too much trouble. Our language skills are not great - but they spoke excellent English. We met their very well-behaved children in the pool too. We met a lovely Belgian couple at breakfast and they were staying in one of the rooms within the main building which they said was also beautiful. We would definitely recommend others to stay here - perhaps a short break for three nights as we did. Perfect for a romantic stay/honeymoon destination! Incidentally we had fun watching the Long-Eared owls flying in the evening.

I cannot complain about the high price because it was our choice, and everything was excellent. It did seem that the spa-bath in our room was not fully functional which was a shame. Also the two armchairs that looked beautiful, in fact need repairing as the seat bases have sagged making them quite uncomfortable to actually sit in. These two items need to be attended to. But very minor niggles really.

Lovely location Good breakfast and dinner very comfy bed Safe parking

Cozy house with your own small garden, smiling and helpful host, silence and calm …

It was farther to La Rochelle than I had anticipated. There was not much nearby to see, and I was eager to tour the environment as a visitor from the US>

The proprietors, the decor, the food.

Evening meal was excellent on all 3 nights but would have preferred it if it had been served hotter, particularly the soup. It was a little cold in the building - corridors and dining room. Bedroom was OK, heatwise.

This is one of those rare gems you find every now and then. A fantastic place where the building, the room and restaurant where what we would like for other places to match.

Unfortunately it is in a location where we will not be in the near future, if ever again.

Friendly staff, the ambiance. The level of comfort and room facilties and great food!

Wine and drinks too expensive.

the location

The noise in the room (something like a drop falling all night long) Too many rules, time for dinner and breakfast are too strict
