Le Clos de la Garenne

We only spent 3 nights here on our way south, but would very happily come back for a longer stay. This is a place where you can just switch off and do nothing if that is what you need, but with La Rochelle, Rochefort and the Ile de Re nearby if you need a little more history and culture. A lovely comfortable house beautifully restored. We particularly appreciated the large well furnished guest sitting room and the ability to wander around the grounds. Patrick and Brigitte are perfect hosts. Worth the visit just to indulge in Brigitte's homemade jam! The EV charger real plus. A la prochaine!

A delightful farmhouse in a beautiful rural setting with good amenities and charming friendly hosts Patrick and Brigitte who spoke very good English and enjoyed English humour! We were well catered for and enjoyed evening meals cooked on the premises round a large table with hosts and guests. The 10 acre garden was a delight to walk around and enjoy wonderful sunsets. We would definitely go again if in the area.

We had a 4 night stay with Brigitte and Patrick at Clos de la Garenne and what a great stay we had. The rooms were super, the location very peaceful with the sounds of cuckoo and hoopoes. We had 3 evening meals with Brigitte and Patrick and their other guests and they were all super meals. We had easy access to La Rochelle, Rochefort and Ils de Rea for our visits in the area. We would definitely stay again if we are visiting the area in the future.

Beautiful, serene and comfortable rooms. Breakfast and dinner outstanding and the most friendly and special welcome and atmosphere from hosts Patrick and Brigitte

A wonderful, characterful place to stay, with a very warm welcome from gracious hosts, a beautiful building and elegant, spacious bedroom, all very well equipped. Delicious breakfasts served in the large dining room and plenty of safe parking. Close to La Rochelle and Ile de Re where we had a very enjoyable day trip. We would strongly recommend this BnB and intend to return.

Very welcoming hosts with a beautiful local mansion. Well situated in the countryside near La Rochelle, Ile de Ré etc. Rooms decorated with taste. Breakfast is a nice start of the day with all guests around the table.

We have been coming to this lovely B&B for many years and have recognised the improvements that Patrick and Brigitte continue to make. They are a delightful couple and speak good English. Evening meals are a delight and the breakfast is enough to satisfy anyone's appetite. The bedrooms and bathrooms are excellent. Well located and not far from La Rochelle and the Isle de Re'. We will return!

We have had two nights at le clos de la Garenne recently. We so enjoyed the first visit that we arranged another night there on our return journey. Brigitte and Patrick were such delightful hosts and we loved their house and garden. We look forward to another visit before too long.

Delightful hosts and Brigitte was highly organised and helpful. Room was great with fabulous new shower room. The eclectic mix of home made conserves at breakfast was delicious and fun to try, with her home made breads.

We stayed a week and enjoyed every minute. The stunning countryside and wonderful wildlife made for a relaxing cycling holiday. Couple this with the hospitality, friendliness and good humour of Brigitte and Patrick, and we could have wanted for nothing more.

We have stayed many times over the years at Le Clos de la Garenne. Brigitte and Patrick are excellent hosts and their accommodation has everything you need for a good holiday. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this as a great place to stay .

This is the fourth time that we have stayed here on our way down to the Dordogne. It is excellent. Brigitte and Patrick are wonderful hosts, the evening meals are very tasty and exceptional value. The rooms are all very clean, comfortable and quiet. The breakfast with Brigitte's home made jams are memorable. A super place to stay to either break your journey or to satay for a few nights to explore the area. We will return!
