There is a sitting room for guests and breakfast is provided either on the sunny covered terrace, or in the family kitchen. Hair dryer and Wi-fi are also available. We have 2 bicycles available to guests who are also welcome to find a sunny or shady spot in the garden to sit and enjoy the view up to the hilltop village of Rouquette. Evening meals can be provided, with mostly regional dishes on offer. The menu changes daily and vegetarians are well catered for. We like to think our bed and breakfast offers something a little different.

Eymet 13^th Century Bastide Town

The medieval town of Eymet rests beside the River Dropt on a site occupied since prehistoric times. Founded on 28^th June 1270 by Alphonse de Poitiers, brother of King Louis IX of France, one can still see much evidence of the Middle Ages from the central market square surrounded by ancient houses built above the arcades, to the network of streets where medieval timber framed homes alternate with stone buildings. Vestiges of the original chateau remain and one can see the imposing 13^th century keep complete with turret and high defensive walls. A Romanesque bridge crosses the river Dropt with pretty views prized by photographers. Castles and manor houses, ‘pigeonniers’ and moulins (mills) abound in the surrounding countyside. Eymet stands as a testament to a turbulent Anglo/French past from where one can visit many other pretty bastide towns, also built as a line of defence against the English.
