On our farm there are two L-shaped wings. One of them now has four guest rooms but was once a communal area for farm workers, as well as containing the stable and the granaries.

It took time to renovate, but the results are completely original (so our guests tell us) and create a very pleasant living space.

In this way, from the original rustic functional stone buildings (we've been able to create a two-floor living space for three guests, with all mod cons (including fridge and microwave), and yet with exposed beams and country furniture. The bedding in every room is of the highest quality - something we ourselves have been dismayed to find all too rarely in many of the hotels in which we have stayed.

Another one-floor area is designed for two guests. Our Yellow Room is one of our most recent developments, much praised for its spacious shower. The bathroom is equipped with towel heater and with an air extractor.

The space boasts a table and chairs ideal for a quick snack.

Our last room is ideal for a single person, opening right on to the garden and prettily decorated - designed to lift the spirits of solitary travelers. Its small window overlooks the charming village road, and our friendly, jovial, good-humoured neighbour Guy Noel is always happy to pass the time of day and share his knowledge of the area.

You might be tempted by a walk in our English garden or for a read on a sunlit afternoon on one of its wooden benches, - an exquisite foretaste of a visit to Giverny, house of our celebrated Impressionist Claude Monet, who lived so close to where we are.

Finding that even these three developments were not enough to meet demand, we have created a fourth and final room now available to all our guests. This is on another floor, independent of the other three rooms. The original style has been scrupulously maintained - a close relative of the first rooms described above - again with exposed beams, original furniture and a wonderful atmosphere. It has already received fulsome praise from all who have stayed there. Designed with three people in mind, it is a very pleasant space indeed. Once again, fridge and micro-wave are provided, along with an electric roof-window (which closes automatically when it rains), a fully-equipped bathroom including a very comfortable shower, and high-quality bedding, much appreciated by our guests.

It goes without saying that each set of keys includes one for the gate leading to a secure, private parking space. Thus you can rest assured that your car will also be accommodated to the highest standards, just as you will.

For those who enjoy an evening stroll, there is also a key to the small gate leading to the road, so that everyone feels completely at home. This is exactly what we are hoping for, and we will do our utmost to provide a home from home.
