We first visited Jackie and Ian 5 years ago on the night of Ian's 65th birthday and they gave us a superb evening meal to celebrate. This year we were travelling with some friends and found we were going to be going along the same route, so emailed to see if this time all four of us could stay and... More

We are well acquainted with La Souvigne having stayed there multiple times over a 7 year span. Ian and Jacquie are ageless and super hosts, guests are very well taken care of. We recommend this Gite and this area to all who want to escape the maddening crowd. Evidence of this recommendation is that we shall return as long as... More

We had the pleasure of staying with Ian & Jacquie for four nights (we had booked for two and stayed for four!). Their B&B was the best value accommodation we encountered in four weeks travelling France. Everything was perfect, from the rooms to the helpfulness of Ian & Jacquie and their evening meals were a wonderful experience! Highly recommended. More

Thank you so much for your enthusiastic review and hope very much that if you decide to visit Europe again, you include us on your itinerary. We enjoyed your visit very much. But next time, please don't leave your camera on the train, it's bad for our nerves (they got it back). More

Over the last 5 years have stayed overnight on each of my Calais/Barcelona trips with a classic car. Found first in Alastair Sawday and never regreted, since staying at least once if not twice in these years, only missed due to being full, and they kindly organised alternate accomodation. Wonderfull hosts, wonderful food. More

Thanks very much Keskom for your comments. Even if we tease you rotten, we do very much enjoy your visits. But we would love to know what we could do to improve your sleep quality and our service. If it is our power we will do it, though we can't stop the Angelus ringing at 7 in the morning. More

It sounds a bit silly to say this, but it's extremely difficult to fault La Souvigne, from the hospitable welcome, to the truly excellent cuisine, to the comfortable accomodation in pleasing surroundings. We've been coming on an ad hoc basis for a number of years and whilst it's not exactly on our normal routing we make the diversion because we... More

A visit from you is always something we look forward to. Although, as you say, it has happened that the other guests round the dinner table are french speakers, you join in enthusiastically, and so we don't have to make TOO much effort to translate. We're so pleased you enjoy your stay enough to make the detour to come here.... More

We only stayed at La Souvigne for one night but wished we had spent our whole holiday there. Unfortunately we were pre-booked at our other destinations so had no days to spare. Our hosts Ian and Jacquie were charming, hospitable and very knowledgeable about the area and (our favourite subject) food. The accomodation was very comfortable, the room delightful and... More

As you said in your very kind review, the only problem was that you didn't stay long enough! It was a pleasure to have you to stay, and to share so many common interests. We're glad you liked the room and understood what we tried to achieve in what is, after all, just a little house in a little village... More
