Its hard to give anything but five stars when Cathy and Martin have been such lovely hosts. We had a one night stop here. It is rather in the middle of nowhere and I venture most guests are passing thru and just need a nice overnite. It's very homey. Definitely stay with them for dinner if you want to feel... More

The location is perfect for travelers en route to the SW from Paris or CDG airport. Charming & helpful hosts, Kathy & Martin welcome you warmly to their lovely house on quiet beautiful grounds. The rooms are comfortable and carefully decorated. We had a good sleep before joining other guests for drinks in the garden and then a most delicious... More

Overnight stay in a perfect location with excellent hospitality, fabulous food, great nights sleep and lots of fun, laughter and debate! Martin and Kathy are great hosts and we had a good time swapping life stories amidst the delicious evening meal and equally good breakfast. They deserve all these first class reviews......it is and was a fantastic find!

Like many of the visitors who choose Le Canard au Parapluie Rouge, we were looking for a comfortable place to stay overnight on our way from Paris to the Dordogne. Thanks to a lucky alignment of the stars, we came to stay with Kathy and Martin. We arrived on a rainy afternoon and were shown promptly to our room and... More

A warm and friendly welcome awaited us after a long tiring journey and our hosts Kathy and Martin instantly made us at home. Our room was comfortable, clean and spacious and our window overlooked the lovely gardens. We chose to dine in-house both nights of our stay a very good decision as the food was to a very high standard... More

We stayed overnight on our way back to the cross-channel ferry. What a delight, the only sad thing was that it deserved a longer stay! One night is not nearly sufficient to absorb the atmosphere and enjoy the freindliness of our hosts. Our evening meal was superb and would put many a 4-star hotel to shame. The bedrooms were beautifully... More

the perfect location off the motorway if you are going to of from the south west. Kathy and Martin made us feel at home immediately and we had an excellent evening with them. The rooms are pretty and the 4 poster bed was great. Even the noise of the occasional train passing by couldn't spoil our stay.

You will not find better hosts than Martin and Kathy Missen. You are greeted warmly, especially by Ruby, the mutt, and made to feel at home immediately. Our room (no.5) was charming, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Everything you could wish for for an overnight stay - lovely gardens with a pool, a superb cook in Kathy and a pretty good... More

I can only agree with previous comments. I am usually sceptical about these things but Kathy and Martin deserve all the praise they get. My wife and I were treated like honoured guests and we had a great stay overnight with a very enjoyable dinner with our hosts and fellow guests. Excellent and very handy for the motorway.
