This is a rustic B&B just off one of the main north-south routes (the A20) in w/central France. It's a good "crossroads" location handy for breaking a north-south (or vice versa) journey. The welcome from Malcolm and Edward (not to neglect Leo the Lab) is warm and generous with immediate offer of an appropriate beverage. As with many older properties,... More

We stayed for one night on our way to the south of France on a house-hunting trip. We received a warm welcome and Edward and Malcolm's dog was very friendly towards our old lab. The setting is lovely and although the weather was not at its best it was easy to imagine how nice it would be in the summer.... More

We stayed at Appletons on our way home from Carcasonne and had a wonderful time, we were greeted with a drink and sat in the garden for a while before retiring for a short rest, we were in the red room overlooking the garden. We opted for dinner and had an aperitif around 7, after quite a few bottles between... More

Malcolm and Edward offer a really warm welcome, munificent hospitality (wine and food), and a most interesting visit, with well informed and wide ranging conversation. There is ample space for private parking and the general ambience of their home is rural, set in a quiet but charming village. People who look for grand or opulent accommodation may be disappointed, but... More

Malcolm and Edward are wonderful hosts. The evening meal outside was wonderful. WIne and conversation flowed around the table in the beautiful garden and the food was delicious. Rooms are tastefully decorated and beds most comfortable. Thoroughly recommend staying for a night if travelling further down in France. We loved Leo the Lab too!!

We took advantage of Edward and Malcolm's willingness to take one night bookings from those en route to Spain, and we're glad we did: a great house-party style evening, with generous wines accompanying an excellent home-cooked dinner. Nothing fancy about the room, but a very comfortable, peaceful night's sleep in the heart of La France Profonde. Both Argenton, the nearby... More

A group of us (4 motorcyclists) arrived to a cold beer in the garden and a warm welcome. The rooms were clean and tidy and the food was excellent. We had a wonderful evening with Malcolm and Edward and the wine kept flowing. Highly recommended.
