You’re well away from the main road but a short walk from the village in this stone farmhouse dated 1742. B&B rooms are in various outbuildings set around a pretty courtyard with trees, shrubs and flowers: each is different but all have exposed oak beams, half-timbered walls, comfortable seats with views and fresh white embroidered cotton sheets on good thick mattresses. All have a seating area too. Breakfast is in the airy dining room, or the rambling garden – smiley Madame makes her own jams and yogurts and buys the best croissants and bread from the local artisan baker. Golf, walks, cycling and watery fun are all near.
Domaine de la Creuse is quite simply - exquisite! Beautiful building - roses round the door and indeed everywhere. Decorated in a Provencale style - where Marie Christine is from. White linens, antique fabric curtains - breakfast includes the best croissants I've ever eaten - and I've eaten quite a few in my life! Charming hosts who recommended a Champagne house for a tasting afternoon. Gorgeous! We loved it all so much we also stayed an extra night! Do try Philip's homemade chilled sparkling cassis - delicious nectar for the soul!
