Although we received a friendly welcome, we didn’t think this B&B quite measured up to some of the comments made on Tripadvisor. It is well-located in the Dordogne valley just outside Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne. The room we took with a verandah was modern although lacking in comfortable chairs. There is a decent-sized pool and the hot tub can be pre-booked. One can soak up the peaceful location and varied birdsong either on the verandah or by the pool. Breakfast (8-10am) was international and a good selection, which included home-made confitures, yoghurt and, if liked, freshly squeezed orange juice, cheese and ham. However, as we were the last to arrive at 9am we had to put up with the host insensitively crashing about as he cleared up around us and did the washing up in what is their living/dining/kitchen and reception room. Fred and Jules offer a dinner at 25€ per person on certain evenings as long as there are four people. On offer is one item for each course of locally-sourced French food, in which they quite clearly take pride, but disappointingly, despite being asked before arrival, nothing was suitable for our previously advised dietary needs. This is clearly a B&B much frequented by French guests where everyone sits around one large communal table, not uncommon in France. If you are a non-French speaker you might find this rather uncomfortable. One final curiosity: we were surprised that our bed was never made each morning, and hence the lower rating for cleanliness.
