The Experience
Come for delicious food: vegetables from the garden, organic, seasonal local produce and as much that is foraged as possible. Breakfast is a buffet, served in the dining room or outside on the terrace: home baked bread, homemade jams, fresh fruit salad, pastries and yogurts, or something cooked like frittata or an omelette. Table d’hôte menus are planned in advance but will usually include soup, pâté, a meat dish, cheese, then pudding.
You sleep in comfortable, traditional bedrooms, one in the attic, with fresh flowers, antique furniture and pretty windows. There’s a real fire in the dining room for chilly days, and a couple of comfy chairs. Plan your day here before heading out. You’re in the town square of Saint-Pierre-du-Lorouër, quiet and residential and surrounded by farmland, so walks are lovely.
Return to cool off in the little wooden plunge pool or enjoy a spot of yoga with Sarah, a qualified teacher.

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 did a bit of a road trip with our 3 month old baby and this was the last place we stayed in before returning home. It was hands down our favourite! Absolutely beautiful place, you can tell the owner was an interior designer, it was stylish, original, but cosy and homely all at once. Sarah made us feel very welcome and we felt immediately relaxed. We had paid for the 4 course meal with wine, which was all freshly prepared by Sarah and served in the most beautiful dining area. Breakfast was similarly delicious and plentiful. A perfect end to a holiday and we would without question recommend!

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.

Location
The neighbourhood
The Forêt de Bercé is a short stroll away with many trails for walking, cycling or riding. There are lots of pretty villages and towns to explore along the river Loir, with restaurants serving regional food, markets and wine tastings. Wild swim in the lake at Varennes, which also has a sandy beach. If you want to go fishing the owners can help with rods, permits, a guide and also a picnic.
Local points of interest from Sarah Carlisle & Lewis Lyle
- A few km's to the south of us are the lovely villages and towns situated along the banks of the River Loir; La Chartre-sur-Loir for example. Wine tasting, brocantes and vide-greniers most weekends (or the keen Treasure Hunters )
- Only 12km away are the lakes at Marcon, with a sand beach, slide & lifeguard, great swimming & water sports, plus a small park for the kids. Ideal for families with young kids.The Bugatti circuit is close by in Le Mans, to drive on the Mulsanne straight!
- The forest of Bercé is an ideal place for walking, horse-riding, cycling and mountain biking (315 km of waymarked itineraries). A dappled network of trails...Mushroom picking tours arranged in season, that combines a day foraging and a day cooking!
- It's well worth visiting the bio wine producers of the Maison Rouge, a favourite amongst many local wine producers - although there are lots to recommend - Croisard, (house special) Freseneau & Gigou..Wine & Cheese tours can be arranged.
- The Loir and surrounding tributaries offer beautiful fishing & kayaking locations, we can tailor packages and an experienced guide. including permits, rods & equipment and the perfect picnic ....as well as hopefully BBQing the catch of the day.
- There is the local market on a Wednesday - that sell the most amazing unpasturised organic goats cheese, i use organic & local products whenever possible for Table d'hôtes ( Le Chaton Rouge is a now fully liscenced restaurant establishment)

Introducing
Sarah Carlisle & Lewis Lyle
Sarah (an interior designer) and Lewis (a chef, fisherman and hunter) are passionate foodies and foragers. They're keen to organise foraging trips for guests and then to demonstrate how to turn what you find into part of a nutritious meal. They called the B&B after a cat they once had with the same name, they now have a new cat called Luna.
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.
