" Where do I possibly begin? The food was absolutely superb, the service and attention to detail was outstanding. Not to mention the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in! It was an absolute pleasure to stay in your lovely home.." Miss A, Queensland, Australia

Le Bignon has been carefully restored to combine eighteenth century charm and elegance with twenty-first century comfort and convenience.On the second floor our three ensuite guest rooms offer you style and comfort.

The Rooms

Nestling in the eaves of the house, our three fabulous rooms are light and bright with a low key elegance.
All three rooms are based around classic Toile de Jouy, but each has its own feel and personality! We have made sure we haven't forgotten the basics like good comfortably firm king size or twin beds, a bedside table with a reading light and room for a carafe of nighttime water, somewhere cosy to sit and enjoy a quiet drink and mirrors and electric points that allow you to dry your hair without being a contortionist (of course we have provided a hairdryer).


But we have also tried to give you a few surprises, like supremely indulgent Egyptian cotton bed linen and a choice of firm or soft pillows, cosy covered hot water bottles for our Winter guests, your own mini fridge so you can enjoy fresh milk with the tea and filter coffee you will find in your room ( as well as keeping your emergency bottle of white wine nicely chilled).

And in the ensuite shower rooms ... plenty of hot water from thermostatically controlled showers that can give you a good pummel or a gentle caress, Egyptian cotton towels and generously sized bathrobes, room to arrange your own travelling essentials without having to live out of your toilet bag and Roget et Gallet soap, shower gel and shampoo.

The Sitting Room
Great bedrooms are essential but when we are away, we always like to have somewhere else to enjoy a drink, dip into a few magazines and books, perhaps play a game or two of
cards or simply to have a chat with some fellow guests. I don't know if you feel the same, but just in case, the Sitting Room should do nicely.

Located on the ground floor, cosy without being small, elegant without being formal, the Sitting Room has a warm terracotta tiled floor, a lovely original marble fieplace and a relaxing outlook over the gardens. There are plenty of books and magazines, a variety of cards and board games and comfy sofas and armchairs.

The Dining Room
A short step from the Sitting Room takes you into the Dining Room where the aim is simple. To provide fabulous fresh food, prepared with enthusiasm and a true love of cooking and served with a smile. The room itself is large and airy with a great view over the garden.
Here again we have an old terracotta tiled floor and a large original marble fireplace. The tables are set simply with white table linen, good glassware, candles and fresh flowers from the garden. The tables can be arranged to suit you, either singly for 2 or put together to cater for parties up to 12. Since you simply cannot hurry a good meal, the chairs are crucial (particularly if like me you get the occasional backache). We spent months searching for the right chairs, looking for that combination of good looks, sturdy construction and maximum support and comfort. Finally we think we have found them and jolly nice they look. But we can always find that extra cushion for support if you really can't relax as we would wish you to, just ask.
