Connie and Gary, USA - 2021
Weary of election nonsense and pandemic restrictions, we sought respite in France and found it at Colombat Cottage.

Lars, Vienne - August 2019
The house is a magical island setting in the countryside, with a wonderful rural and secluded ambiance. The size and comfort are simply perfect. I loved the morning runs in nature and the breakfasts on the terrace. Carelle and her husband are warm and supportive owners. The three dogs present themselves from time to time as friendly travelers. A great experience.

Rémi, Paris, France - August 2018
We had a wonderful stay in the beautiful Colombat Cottage. They took advantage of the calm, nature and beauty of the place. Carelle and Stephen are attentive hosts. We highly recommend.

Frédéric, Châtenay-Malabry, France - August 2018
We had a very good stay, peaceful and surrounded by nature in an area full of charm.
It is an ideal place to rest and recharge your batteries and also discover this beautiful region. Our hosts were very welcoming and available. We recommend this place!

Jak, Oslo - July 2018
A very beautiful house and property. The hosts are very welcoming and helpful and are British so they speak both French and English which is a plus.
Since the guest house is located to the side of the main house, you will also have privacy whenever you want.
The guest house is wonderfully decorated in a typical French/British style. A large kitchen, a large bedroom with very comfortable bed and a modern bathroom with bath and shower. You have your own terrace where you can start the day with breakfast and a breathtaking view of the garden and the horses :)
The host gave us advice and also brought us into the forest where we had a night cap. They helped us find a gig and also lent us their grill and let us use the washing machine.
We highly recommend and would love to return. Thanks.
