The Experience
In gentle countryside of wooded valleys near pretty Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, this smartly renovated farmhouse has its origins in the wine industry; Saint-Émilion lives and breathes wine. You will be impeccably looked after by relaxed, fuss-free owners Trish and Mark, who give you serene rooms in classical-chic style – heated stone floors, designer fabrics, East African art, touches of tartan from home.
All the bedrooms, upstairs and down, have big beds and super bathrooms. Wake to warm croissants, sourdough from an artisan baker, fruits, yogurts, cheeses and hams. With a bit of notice you can have dinner too – local, seasonal produce and organic wines.
If you prefer to look after yourselves you can rent out the house as a whole for superb family get-togethers. Outside: a lovely terrace, a park-like garden edged with cedars and weeping willows, plus a heated saltwater pool for long lazy days outdoors. Head to Sainte-Foy-la-Grande for restaurants and a station.

We stayed at this wonderful Chambres d'hotes (B and B) for two nights en route from southern France to the ferry at St Malo. Trish and Mark were kind, friendly and welcoming and we had an excellent evening meal on one night and there was plenty of choice locally for our second evening. Breakfast was plentiful and varied. This lovely home is in a peaceful rural position and is quiet, very comfortable and tastefully decorated. We couldn't have asked for anything else and hope to return.

Lovely house, which has been converted by the current UK owners to a very high standard, and provides a very tasteful and relaxing accomadation. Trish, Mark and family are charming hosts - laid-back, but in a good way to ensure your stay is everything you want it to be. They've been here for quite a few years and have lots of helpful advice if required. We eat here on two of the nights we stayed - lovely meals ina great setting. Recommended, and wouldnt hestitate to return when in the area again.

Stayed at La Girarde on our 25th wedding anniversary. Arrived early evening to enjoy tea with homemade biscuits in the garden followed by an excellent dinner served by candlelight prepared by our host. The meal was delicious accompanied by a lovely wine. The whole house is magnificent and as guests there is abundant space if required. Our bedroom opened out to the front garden in full bloom. Superb bathroom with a separate shower and bath. We chose to stay to get away from the hustle and bustle and it certainly delivers.

Introducing
Trish Tyler
Trish and Mark both grew up in East Africa and have always enjoyed exploring other cultures. They fell in love with this part of France and moved here with their children. They are exemplary hosts and enjoy being close to Bordeaux for theatre, art, music and shopping.
Myself my husband and sister and husband stayed here for four nights at the end of May. The service, accommodation and stay was faultless. Definitely the loveliest and most peaceful home out of a month long stay in France. Trish and Mark make you feel immediately welcome - it's like being at home but with service thrown in! Very special would love to return.
