Dinner fresh from the garden with your creative hosts is an absolute delight. Roam unspoilt countryside, visit châteaux and vineyards galore

Read guest comments

Vincent and Élisabeth's serene home lies right in the heart of an 11th-century village in George Sand country. Their characterful home is brimful of your hosts' creative endeavours: watercolours, pottery, hand-stitched patchwork quilts, freshly picked garden flowers.

Linger under lime trees in a secret courtyard garden while relishing a plentiful breakfast (fresh pastries from the boulangerie, homemade jam and yogurt) and enjoy dinners of home-grown produce – Élisabeth works hard on both her allotments. Get cosy in the family sitting room in front of an open fire before a deep sleep in your charming loft bedroom. Three en suite rooms share sofas, books and games.

Walk to the house George Sand grew up in, it has lovely gardens and hosts a music festival in June and July dedicated to the Romantic period. Stroll down to the village restaurant for supper then back for a nightcap with your artistic hosts who are an absolute delight.

"Just back from La Croix Verte (1 night and first time in a Sawday b&b); lovely old house, full of interesting things, set in a charming cottagey garden; good welcome; excellent beds and breakfast; only problem: your google map is incorrect (as is the owner's on their own site!) The house is situated on the main road - not two streets further on between château and church as you show it. Curiously, google indicates it correctly on other sites). "

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Elizabeth and Vincent. They gave us a lovely welcome, the room was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The supper was excellent as was the breakfast, everything homemade. Vincent was very helpful lending us a map to follow tracks for a lovely walk to the next village where we visited the home of the novelist George Sands. We plan to stay again at this delightful Band B on our return to the Uk"

"We only stayed one night as it was a stop on the journey down to the South of France but wished we had managed a second as there is quite a lot to see in the area especially concerning the author Georges Sand. There was a lovely spread of home made jams and cakes as part of a delicious breakfast and the room was airy clean and very comfortable. The hosts were charming. We would stay again. The neighbouring countryside provided a relaxing evening stroll and an interesting morning walk serenaded by Nightingales."

"We had a very enjoyable stay. The place is absolutely lovely, the food delicious and the hosts, Vincent and Elisabeth, are very welcoming. Our meals in the garden were delightful. Highly recommended."
