Le Chaton Rouge

A lovely stay en route from Dordogne back to UK. The b&b is very comfortable with a lovely garden and very comfy bed, but it is the friendly and hospitable hosts, Sarah and Lewis who really make it. We also booked dinner and had a fantastic meal cooked by Lewis. Breakfast was excellent too.

This is a very special place - a charming, low-key B&B. A fine old house, owned and run by enthusiastic Scottish owners with humour. Their great love for their adopted home and the nature surrounding is infectious. I cannot wait to visit them and taste their foraged and homegrown cooking!

What a find! We stayed overnight on our way south and again on our return. This B&B is an absolute gem. Sarah and Lewis are fantastic hosts - very friendly and there’s a great atmosphere. We were lucky enough to be able to sit in the courtyard for drinks and canapés (best mushroom on toast you’ll ever have!) before having a great meal in the dining room. Well worth the money they charge. Beds were very comfortable. The bedrooms are beautifully decorated with en-suite showers. Breakfast was a veritable feast. We hope to return again as a stopover next time we are driving down to our holiday.

We stayed overnight at Le Chaton Rouge on our way through France. Sarah is a brilliant host and we thoroughly enjoyed every single aspect of our brief stay - our room, the traditional and beautiful house, the welcome, the food - all wonderful and we would highly recommend this Bed and Breakfast.

This small establishment is a real gem! clean, comfortable, spacious rooms with tea/coffee making facilities and quiet. Sarah is a fantastic host and provided us with a warm welcome; she prepared a really excellent evening meal, having already established any likes/dislikes. Most of the produce was locally sourced and had wonderful flavours. The breakfast was equally delicious, with homemade bread etc. It definitely rates as the best of our hotel/B&B choices.

Professionally run and charming small Hotel in a small village south of Le Mans. Superb welcome and excellent freshly-prepared breakfast 'en- terrasse' or in the old French barn - where evening 4-5 course meals (plus wine) are also served by arrangement with the owner, Sarah. Lovely old furniture in the 5 bedrooms but with modern facilities and en-suite bathrooms. Friends and I stayed in 2016 and also got some nice tips on visiting local chateaux and vineyards plus a day out to Tours is a must. We liked it and definitely staying again. Top Banana !

We stayed overnight to break our journey to Bordeaux and were so glad to discover Le Chaton Rouge! A very tastefully restored house - charming room with beautiful French bed and sweet-smelling linen. We couldn't have wished for a warmer welcome from out hostess and enjoyed meeting friends and family. Lovely rural setting with lively local bar and excellent nearby restaurant. Delicious and generous feast for breakfast. Highly recommended.

We stopped at Le Chaton Rouge for one night on route back to Calais. Sarah was welcoming and warm from the minute we arrived, and she is a fantastic cook! The property has been renovated beautifully and we had a very comfortable and enjoyable night. I would stay there again next time I am driving down France/in the that direction.

This is by far the best B&B we've stayed in, in France. Sarah welcomes you with a huge glass of wine, followed by delicious tea for the children and even more delicious dinner for adults in her pretty courtyard. It is a magical place, full of character, beautiful interiors, lovely bathroom and very comfy beds. Amazing breakfasts too! A very very special pace, we will be back for sure! Charlotte Colville

We stayed here en route to travelling further South and it was a fabulous place to stay. The rooms are generous with great character and lovely decor, and Sarah is a wonderful host. Delicious breakfast too! We would all heartily recommend this as a B&B.

My husband and I stayed at Le Chaton Rouge in June while on a road trip from Paris to the south of France. Sarah made us feel so welcome with complimentary wine in her beautiful backyard. She then recommended a restaurant in a local town and called ahead to make reservations for us. Our room was very charming and eclectic. The bathroom was fully modernized with a claw foot tub. Our breakfast was amazing with homemade jam and other wonderful things to savour. Sarah is a wonderful host and so fun to talk with. I would definitely return to this B&B just to see Sarah again!!

Without doubt the best B+B i have stayed in. Beautiful house,rooms and garden. Evening meals in courtyard was perfect. Sarah is the perfect host. Local restaurant also very good and local bar very friendly. Would highly recommend Le Chaton Rouge. Don't forget George:).

A beautiful town house stylishly restored and Sarah couldn't have been more welcoming. Dinner in the garden was a delightful way to begin our holiday in France.

An excellent B & B; lovely house with great character and rooms. Sarah was very welcoming and friendly and we enjoyed dinner in the courtyard at the back of the house where we met the 'le chaton rouge'. It is about 4 to 5 hours south from Calais and an ideal place to stop on the way to the Loire or further south.

This was our first B & B on our visit to France. We stayed at three B & B's over five days and this was the very best. It is a delightful house with a very artistic mix of old and new. Sarah was the perfect host and provided a great selection of food for breakfast and a wonderful dinner in the outdoor dining room. In fact the best meals we had in France. Wished we could have stayed longer. We would highly recommend this B & B for a short or longer stay.

Sarah is a wonderful friendly host in her beautifully restored village house. Along with George the cat, there are big breakfasts and comfortable beds provided, even a nice little secluded garden to sit and have a gin and tonic should the mood take you. Very much enjoyed our stay there and would definitely go back in future.

What a lovely place to stay. Sarah could not have been more accommodating to our family (including our 2 little ones). We enjoyed a lovely meal in the outside dining room after the children had eaten their favourite meal and gone to bed (we could keep an ear out from the garden). A lovely sleep and a super breakfast. Very relaxing Thank you!

lovely B&B, lovely surroundings and a very kind and caring host!

What a beautiful home! Sarah was the perfect hostess and made us feel so welcome. The 2 bedroom suite was ideal for our family of four enabling us to enjoy Sarahs wonderful cooking whilst the children slept. We will definitely visit again.

Wonderful visit to a beautiful home, a generous host in a beautiful location. Sarah could not have done any more to make us feel welcome, the rooms were beautiful and the food at dinner and breakfast was superb. We will detour time and again to visit Le Chaton Rouge in the future.
