Chambres d'Hotes - la Marmoire

Hope you like cats... lots of them roaming around the place along with their particular smells. (Yuk) The decour - like stepping back in time twenty years. Owners were good and well intentioned. Home cooking - bit pricy for what you got which was one choice. The place has lots of promise but I came away feeling short-changed.

This property was a real unique find and was set in such a tranquil area. Beautiful, large, bedroom and bathroom all well furnished. A bonus was the swimming pool and gardens to relax in. Definitely worth a visit and the owners were charming and welcoming.

Our hosts were amazing they made us extremely welcome and couldn’t do enough for us. The farmhouse was lovely and cosy. The facilities were really good with the outdoor pool and jacuzzi both of which we used. Our hosts made us a three course meal on our first night which was lovely, tasty and very welcome. We highly recommend.

The location of the house is excellent, being just a short drive from the historic town of Chateaubriant. The town itself is interesting but is also useful as it has trains to Nantes and Rennes. We made good use of the facilities at the house, including the swimming pool, the honesty bar, the garden. Our hosts provided us with a delicious proper French breakfast - juice, pastries, fresh bread and hot drinks every day, and in the evening we were able to sample delicious dinners.

Fantastic charming garden and house only surpassed by the two host´s, total relaxation, and so helpful owners.

We spent a week at La Marmoire exploring the area and relaxing. Most people seem to stay one or two nights en route to or from somewhere else. Corinne and Laurent are the most welcoming hosts. La Marmoire is situated in quiet countryside, the lovely garden with a pool is relaxing way to spend time especially after a day exploring. The breakfasts are typical French croissants, jams, etc and each evening Laurent cooks a delicious three course meal very reasonably priced. We stayed in the ground floor le jardin which led outside onto the pebbled seating area. Corinne and Laurent are charming hosts who made our stay very special and we will certainly return next time we are in that part of France. David and Lynn
