The Experience

The secluded old buildings house two owner families, a restaurant, several guest rooms and 15 tons of ever-present live fish. Fishing folk gather on Sundays to catch trout in the spring water that feeds the ponds; groups come for speciality lunches. Meals are served alongside your hosts and fellow guests around one big table, and may include trout terrine, home-reared salmon, a neighbour’s potatoes, wild asparagus in buttery sauce, cinnamon custard. For breakfast share brioche, baguettes, croissants, yogurt, fruit salad, cereals, apple juice and their own jams and honey. Created in an old mill 40 years ago, the bedrooms under the eaves are mostly small-windowed, simply furnished and prettily decorated in rustic or ‘grandmother’ style. Other rooms are in the newly built half-timbered cottage across the drive. At one end of the shop – packed with cottage-industry goodies (charcuterie, honey, jams, wine and champagne) – is a wide floor of thick glass under which immense fish can be seen swimming to and fro between the water tanks. A pony wanders freely in the grounds. Wonderful food and service – and good English spoken.

Reviews

Gary, Atlanta

Great food, classic estate and professionally but warmly managed by a great family. Thoroughly Enjoyed our visit.


Teresa

We had a thoroughly enjoyable overnight stay at this delightful B&B. After a 9 hour drive we arrived at this beautiful, tranquil domaine and were greeted by the very friendly owners. We were shown to a communal kitchen area for guests, where we were invited to help ourselves to local cider, soft drinks and cakes. Our room was large and very cosy. We'd booked dinner at the B&B which was a feast. An aperitif, plenty of good wine and a four-course meal prepared and served by the owner. As we had to leave very early next morning, a breakfast was kindly left for us. Great place & excellent value.


charlie

A really nice place to stay. Very convenient to the Autoroute system. Evening meals are excellent in terms of value and quality. Lovely area of France to just meander around the countryside and visit the pretty little towns. Highly recommended.


sally

Beautiful location and very friendly hosts. Sandrine was very accommodating in suggesting alternative to trout for the children - we all ate really well! Very relaxing setting after drive from Calais on way down to the Alps, highly recommended.


Jan

Lovely stop over to Calais. Sandrine took the trouble to make sure my husband had gluten free food at the meal and breakfast. The meal was excellent.. The guest kitchen was great too. Will stay again, a great find

Local points of interest from Alexandre & Sandrine Mesley

  • You could visit Troyes 23km from us, which is a medieval town very well restaured and travel in the past and become a notable, an artisan, a trader or a church man from the 14th century . Walk in the pedestrian streets and discover all the wooden pan house
  • Discover the little town of Chaource, 30km from us, where a beautiful church is waiting for surprising you with its crypt and statue of burial of christ made by the Master of Chaource, famous sculptor from the 16th century, in the middle of nature.
