Breakfasts & Evening Meals  Whether you are staying with us on a self-catering or bed and breakfast basis, evening meals are available, on request, each evening. The meals are provided on a "Table d'Hôte" basis which means the meals (generally 4-course) are cooked and prepared using fresh produce and eaten in the relaxed and friendly atmosphere of your hosts dining room and bar. It’s a great opportunity at the end of the day to wind down and share the days adventures with other guests and your hosts in a friendly, relaxing environment.

We do try to accommodate specific dietary requirements where possible. Vegetarian and Vegan meals are available. If you would like to join us for a meal on the evening of your arrival, please ask at the time of booking your accommodation.

Please say at the time of booking whether you wish to stay on a bed and breakfast or self-catering basis.

More about the local area.........

The village of Courcité has a mini super market, bakery, post office, bar, butchers and a magnificent old church. 5 minutes drive away is Super U which is a mini hypermarket where you can buy virtually anything from garden shears and clothes to food and wine. Just opposite is a swimming pool. The local area is a farming community of both dairy and arable farming. In summer the fields are full of wheat, sunflowers, and many other crops and of course, cows, sheep and chickens.

The area boasts beautiful countryside and river walks, bird watching & wildlife tours, horse riding, bicycle rides, museums and magnificent chateaux and several towns where you can "shop 'til you drop". During the month of July, you can even catch the Tour de France that usually passes through a nearby village.

There are many attractions locally including Bois du Tay (near Bais), which boasts a magnificent woodland, walking and cycling trails plus huge picnic areas some are even self contained.

Sillé-le-Guillaume has a beautiful lake with sandy beaches where you can swim, hire pedalos or even hire a mountain bike. For about €4 you can spend 45 minutes relaxing and enjoying the lake from the boat "Silius" and with its restaurants and cafes you can easily spend a day there.

At Averton, 5 miles from us, daily bird watching trips are organised by Northern France Wildlife Tours during the spring and autumn. Sites include La Brière and Saumur and species could include a Swallowtail, Whitestork, Bluethroat, Little Bustard or Black Woodpecker. If there are spaces available whilst you are here, they cost £50, about (€ 80) per day and that includes transport, your guide for the day, a packed lunch and any admission fees. (If you are interested in a tour, please let us know as soon as possible and we'll book you on a day trip for a day of your choice, subject to availability).
