Manoir de la Voute Maison d'hôtes

It's sometimes hard to determine when a place should be 4 or 5 stars when it seems to fall somewhere between. I would say this was a 4.5, but I'm giving it a 5 starts because Jean-Paul was a great host. The house is a wonderful, old, charming structure which could use a little bit of touch up here and there, mostly on the exterior, but still a very nice, older, traditional manse. Everything is kept clean. The grounds are lovely. A lot of room for kids to run around on, some nice spots for pique-niquing and waking, watching the sun set or stars at night, and a nice pool. The room was slightly small but fine. We were 3 and there was a small attached room with a single bed where my daughter stayed that was fantastic. The only problem was that, while the sink and shower were en-suite, the toilet was in the hall, a bit tricky to get to in the night (with raised wood thresholds to trip over and uneven floors). The breakfasts were simple but decent - choice of some breads, juice, coffee, and basic meat and cheese choice. Jean-Paul was great - practical, helpful, knowledgeable of the area and made some great suggestions which were highlights of our stay in the area.
