ドメーヌ ラ フォンテーヌ(Domaine la Fontaine B&B)

Mark and Ilse made us feel so welcome the minute we drove into the car park at Domaine la Fontaine, in the heart of the French countryside, not far from the Gironde Estuary their place is just delightful. Beautifully decorated bedrooms, comfiest of beds and a fabulous breakfast, not to mention the addition of an outdoor pool. We will definitely be staying again if we are in the area.

We had an exceptional stay with Ilsa and Mark. Our accommodation was authentic and lovely, everything was very personalised and homely, with our dog also made very welcome. The food was gorgeous home cooking (including the home made jams and pickles) and we ate under the trees in the garden. Nothing was too much trouble and we would love to stay again.

We stayed as part of our cycling vacation and had a great time. Enjoyed the pool and garden. Super friendly hosts created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Great dining “en famille” with local wines. Every room is unique, nicely decorated and clean and fresh.

Came here en route just overnight but had a really pleasant experience. The weather was not good enough for us to enjoy the pool area with heated pool but it looked fab. They did not offer dinner for us that eve which was a shame as it was a Sunday and there was only a chain restaurant open nearby which was just ok. They have a cozy salon with an honesty bar which we took advantage of with a good choice of drinks at reasonable prices. The breakfast was excellent with fantastic bread, croissants and homemade preserves and local juice. They also offered eggs ham and cheese. We picked up a box of wine from them and some excellent cognac. We will return!

Oh were to start our stay in this heavenly getaway… We were very warmly welcomed by the hosts after our trip to Soubran. The place has a very homely atmosphere which was only amplified by the Tables d’ Hôtes on our first evening there. The host took into account our vegetarian diet and made a delicious vegetarian and gluten free Lasagna. The day after we took a fresh dive into the pool before setting off to explore the villages nearby. The room we had was very clean and fresh despite it being very warm outside. The breakfast was delicious with fresh croissants, coffee, a selection of cheeses (and charcuterie), homemade jam, slices of baguette and even an egg of choice. The view was also very relaxing looking out over the fields below the domain. In short, this place is welcoming, clean, fresh and the food delicious.

le cadre est très agréable, nous avons adoré la décoration et le confort de la chambre et de la maison. Notre repas du soir était délicieux et le petit déjeuner magnifique. L'accueil des hôtes était très chaleureux et sympathique. Une adresse a découvrir sans hésiter.

Un endroit où le temps s'est arrêté. Vous arrivez un fond de musique classique, un parfum d'encens mélangés à la vieille pierre et une décoration qui vous fait voyager dans le temps. J'ai adoré. Je valide ce lieu très calme rien à dire. Petit déjeuner très copieux et des propriétaires à l'écoute pour vous satisfaire.

Op doorreis naar Bordeaux met vrienden hier overnacht bij Ilse. Zeer gezellige B&B, we hebben ons heel welkom gevoeld. Warme ambiance. Super lekkere pizza avond met overige gasten. Ontbijt werd op ons verzoek al om 8.15 uur geserveerd, heerlijk begin van de dag! Contact vooraf met Mark was erg prettig en alles goed geregeld. Mark en Ilse bedankt!
