Previous visitor comments
We are writing to express our appreciation to Edward and Malcolm who provided the best bed and breakfast accommodation experience we encountered in our two weeks in France. They both made us feel welcome, cooked a magnificent meal, washed our clothes and generally entertained us. Considering it was a one night stay we felt they certainly went beyond what was required and, after a long drive, was just what we needed. Thank you for helping organise our stay for us - The Mays, 2008
