We have been staying here over and over again. In spring with my best friends in a 'gite' during summer holidays with my family and all kind of wonderfull [people we met here during the years. In fall live is so laid back here, taking long walks in the woods with the dogs . keeping the fire going in our gite and enjoying the dinners made by Martijn. Fall is definitely my favourite time in Bourganeuf!!!!
Summer has still to come, but I am already lloking forward to my next stay with Saskia and Martijn. This time with my special friend and my beloved dog Boy

We stayed 2 nights in this quite remote but historical B and B. The Dutch hosts were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Our room was directly above the dining room and with old floorboards the noise could be heard from below. We stayed in the Chambre du Parc (see photo) decorated in the French style. The meal in the evening was interesting with some unusual dishes - starter was a stinging nettle pie served with dandelion leaves! Main course was salmon, asparagus and new potatoes. Dessert was a strawberry parfait with cookies. All served with a generous supply of wine. A little pricy we felt at 34 euros each. Breakfast was good.
There is lots to see and do in the area with magnificent countryside, museums, old chateaux and we particularly liked the area south of Pontarion and also the charming town of Aubusson with its tapestry museum.
We could see that there were a number of renovated gites on site together with some gypsy caravans for the summer months so we expect there would be quite a number of people stying here in the height of the season.
Certainly it was a relaxing and tranquil place to stay in spring.

We've stayed here three times over the last five years and each one has been a wonderful experience. The hosts, Saskia and Martijn are generous with their time and are great company. Martijn is a fine cook and meals with them and their guests have always been of fine quality and a memorable occasion.
The ancient buildings have been renovated to a high standard whilst keeping their character.
The surrounding countryside is very quiet, tranquil and beautiful and offers lots of opportunities for peaceful walks and quiet drives.
When travelling in France we go out of our way to stay here.

As guests in Saskia and Martjin's home and inn we thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Our room was huge, very pretty and comfortable. We don't have buildings this old in Texas so it was a little bit like a fantasy to stay here. The hospitality wonderful. The conversations with Saskia and Martjin were lively and entertaining...their English is perfect. The food was fantastic! I really wish we had planned on staying more than just the one night.
