Manoir de Jouralem

Arriving early was offered drink and rest before dinner. Fine accommodation and meal. Just a little anxiety on stair (old slate, worn) to first floor generous room. Only one night en route to further south but would have been a good base for exploring the Loire.

The bedrooms are beautiful (we were in Le Roi) and the bathrooms amazing. Lovely comfy bed with fresh crisp white linen, tea and coffee facilities and even a little bar with a bottle of wine and local beer. I could have sat in the huge bath in the beautiful en-suite with a glass of wine and read a book for a couple of hours! Hywel cooked us a superb dinner accompanied by local wines of the region. The fire burned in the grate and our friends dog dozed quietly as we all relaxed. Highly recommended.

From the first moment we arrived and was handed a glass of cremant we completely relaxed. The place has been so beautifully renovated in such style it is a joy to stay to there. So much so that we were supposed to stay overnight en route only but loved it so much we managed to book for two nights on our return journey home too. Do have the evening meal if available too.

We spent a night here en route to the south of France. We had a lovely evening with dinner in the Manoir. It was excellent and we loved our short stay. We will come back and stay longer. The room was so comfortable with a quality mattress and the bathroom; well - simply stunning. We would heartily recommend the Manoir. Mel and Hywel are excellent hosts.

This would be a very pleasant place to stay - I inspected in winter and they offered me delicious homemade biscuits and wonderful coffee in front of a fire that roars all winter long - it would be tempting to stay inside on a winter day and work or read. The countryside around the house is interesting, stone walls, vineyards and pretty villages - all very tempting to explore either by foot or on a bicycle.
