Sunday morning in Guingamp, and the bells of the Basilique Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours roll across the rooftops just as the light finds its way through the tall original windows, casting long rectangles of gold across a century-old parquet floor. That's the moment you understand what this house is. Not just five bedrooms and a walled garden — a living piece of Breton history, waiting for someone with vision and appetite to bring it fully back to life. This architect-designed Belle Époque mansion sits in the heart of Guingamp, a town that punches well above its weight in character. The house was built when architects designed for eternity — high ceilings that make you stand a little straighter, plaster moldings of the kind you simply cannot replicate today, and original parquet floors that creak pleasingly underfoot, the sound of a house that has held generations of stories. The proportions throughout the ground floor are generous without feeling cold. A majestic entrance hall sets the tone immediately. From there, the kitchen, a welcoming dining room, a refined sitting room, and a summer room that opens directly onto the garden follow in sequence, each space distinct but connected by that same through-light that runs the length of the house. A guest WC completes the ground floor with quiet practicality. Upstairs, five proper bedrooms — including a suite — share two bathrooms, and a converted attic has been given over to a library. Spend a rainy Breton afternoon up there with a novel and a glass of Muscadet and you'll understand the appeal immediately. Outside, the walled and wooded garden is an almost absurd bonus for a town-centre address. Enclosed, private, green — it's the kind of outdoor space that city buyers specif ... click here to read more

On a still morning in this quiet Limousin hamlet, the only sounds are birdsong and the occasional creak of the old barn doors swinging open in the breeze. You pour your first coffee and carry it through the glazed door into the garden, past the fruit trees coming into blossom, and sit beside the ancient stone bread oven your architect friend keeps saying you should convert. That's the rhythm of life in Dournazac — slow, deliberate, and quietly extraordinary. This renovated three-bedroom stone house sits in one of the most underrated corners of southwest France, a region where property prices still reflect genuine value and the countryside hasn't been polished into a tourist postcard. The Haute-Vienne département rewards those who seek it out: rolling wooded hills, medieval châteaux, winding rivers, and a food culture that puts Sunday markets at the absolute center of social life. The Saturday market in Châlus — just three kilometres down the road — is where you'll find the region's famous clementines in winter, truffles if you know which stall to hover around, and a very decent andouillette that the locals will insist you try. Nearby Nexon holds one of the finest horse fairs in France each spring. Oradour-sur-Glane, a preserved WWII memorial village, is a sobering and important half-day trip that draws visitors from across Europe. The house itself carries the architectural honesty that Limousin stone buildings do so well. No decorative veneer, no awkward additions — just solid granite walls, exposed ceiling beams, and a staircase hand-built in oak that feels almost too good to rush up. The craftsmanship throughout the renovation was taken seriously. You notice it in the custom kitchen, which stops visitors in their tra ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Savigné, and the kitchen window is open. The smell of coffee mixes with cut grass drifting in from the meadow out back. Nobody's in a hurry. That's kind of the whole point. This former farmhouse in the Vienne département of Poitou-Charentes has been fully renovated and is move-in ready — no months of waiting on contractors, no difficult decisions about plumbing layouts. Someone has already done the hard work. What you walk into is 130 square metres of comfortable, liveable space that still carries the bones and character of a proper French country property: thick stone walls, outbuildings with real agricultural history, a bread oven that looks like it belongs on a postcard, a barn with a stable, and a former henhouse that has quietly been waiting for someone with imagination to figure out what it wants to be next. The ground floor is practical without being cramped. The kitchen is fully equipped and opens directly into the dining and living area, which means the cook never gets exiled to a separate room while everyone else talks. There's a bedroom on this level too, with its own dressing room — useful if you have guests who'd rather not tackle stairs, or if you want to turn the upper floor into a private retreat entirely your own. A shower room, WC, and a boiler room round out the ground floor. Upstairs, a landing connects three further bedrooms and a second shower room with WC. Four bedrooms in total is a generous count for a French country house in this price range — enough for a family and a couple of friends, or enough to make short-term rental a genuine option during the weeks you're not here. Then there's the land. The enclosed garden is the kind of space where afternoon becomes evening withou ... click here to read more

Step out onto the front terrace with a coffee in hand on a Tuesday morning in September, and the Vézère Valley spreads out below you in that particular golden light the Dordogne does better than almost anywhere else in France. The walnut trees are starting to drop. Someone two streets down is baking. The cliffs behind you still hold the night's cool air. This is what 115,000 euros buys you here — not just a stone cottage, but a specific, irreplaceable foothold in one of the most historically layered corners of rural France. Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil sits at the confluence of the Vézère and Beune rivers, and it carries that geographical confidence like a village that knows exactly what it is. This is the self-styled capital of prehistory, and the claim is not idle boasting — the Cro-Magnon rock shelter is literally at the edge of town, and the Musée National de Préhistoire, rebuilt into the limestone cliff face above the main street, draws serious visitors from across Europe year-round. Walk to the Font-de-Gaume cave with its original polychrome bison paintings (one of the last sites in the world where you can still stand in front of authentic Paleolithic art), and you'll understand why UNESCO gave this entire valley World Heritage status. Living here, even part-time, means all of that is just a twenty-minute stroll. The cottage itself is perched on the hillside with the kind of elevated position that means you catch the morning light early and the evening breeze reliably. Stone walls that have stood for well over a century have been carefully renovated — not stripped and sanitised, but worked with. The character is intact: the rough-cut limestone exterior, the proportions that belong entirely to this part of the Péri ... click here to read more

Picture a Tuesday morning in late June: you're at the twice-weekly market in Montguyon, five minutes down the road, picking up a wedge of goat's cheese from the local fromagère and a bunch of sunflowers that cost less than a coffee back home. You drive back through a hamlet so quiet the loudest thing you'll hear is a woodpigeon in the oak at the back of the garden. That's Saint-Martin-d'Ary. And that's what owning this place actually feels like. Set between Montguyon and Neuvicq in the southern stretch of Charente-Maritime, this three-bedroom detached house sits on a generous 3,000 square metres of mature land in a small, unhurried hamlet. It's the kind of spot that takes a minute to find on the map but stays with you long after you leave. At 102m², the house is compact enough to manage easily as a second home, yet laid out with enough rooms that a family or a group of friends won't be tripping over each other. Inside, the ground floor flows from an entrance hall into a comfortable lounge and separate dining room — the sort of arrangement that still works for a long Sunday lunch the way open-plan never quite does. The kitchen has a fireplace, which tells you something important: this room was built to be the heart of the house, not just a functional corner. On cold December evenings when you're down here for a long winter weekend, a fire in the kitchen while something slow-cooks on the hob is exactly the right kind of warmth. There's also a utility room for the practical side of country living — muddy boots, firewood, market bags. At the back, a summer room and veranda opens the house out toward the garden, catching afternoon light and giving you somewhere to eat outside without the full commitment of a terrace meal in ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Pleuville moves at its own pace. The shutters creak open, the coffee's on, and through the kitchen window you catch that wide roll of Charente countryside—fields fading into tree lines, not another rooftop in sight. This is what 193 square metres of genuine Maison de Maître feels like when it's yours. Set right in the heart of the village, this four-bedroom house carries all the bones that make old French architecture so satisfying: generous proportions, solid stone, rooms that breathe. But it's been updated where it counts. The kitchen was fitted last year—clean, functional, properly equipped for the long lunches that Charente life demands. A new 7 x 5 metre inground swimming pool was also installed last year, sitting just outside where the garden opens up and the views stretch away over the surrounding countryside. On a hot July afternoon, that pool earns its place fast. Inside, the layout flows well. A wide hallway sets the tone as you enter—the kind of entrance that makes guests pause. To the right, the new kitchen leads into a utility room, and there's a shower room with WC on the same side, which makes practical sense for a house that sees wet dogs, muddy boots, or kids coming in from the pool. To the left, the dining room and living room run together in an open plan arrangement, giving you a generous shared space that works for family dinners, lazy evenings, and everything in between. Upstairs, four well-sized bedrooms line up comfortably—room for the whole family, or the friends who always seem to arrive for August—alongside a bathroom with WC. Outside is where this property really delivers. The garden wraps around the house on multiple sides, so you're never short of options: a spot in full ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Tuesday morning and the only sounds competing for your attention are the stream at the edge of the hamlet and a woodpecker working its way up an oak somewhere in the tree line beyond the balcony. No traffic. No neighbor's television bleeding through a shared wall. Just the Périgord Limousin Regional Natural Park doing what it does — quietly making the rest of the world feel very far away. Abjat-sur-Bandiat sits in the northern reaches of the Dordogne, right where the department bumps against Haute-Vienne. It's the kind of village that doesn't try to impress you. There's no tourist office handing out maps, no souvenir shop selling fridge magnets. What there is: a genuine rural France that moves at its own pace, stone lanes that wind past ancient farmsteads, and a landscape of rolling woodland and meadow that turns copper and amber every October like someone slowly turning up a dimmer switch. This former barn — fully converted and completed not so long ago — sits at the tail end of a hamlet, with countryside pressing in on three sides. The conversion was done with real care for proportion. Ground floor living spaces feel open without feeling cavernous: a proper entrance hall with enough room to actually use it, a sitting room where exposed timber beams overhead anchor the space without making it heavy, and a kitchen that opens onto a dining area rather than being squeezed into a corner. The underfloor heating throughout the ground floor is the kind of detail you only truly appreciate on a raw February morning when the mist is sitting on the fields and you're padding around in socks on warm stone. The original character of the barn hasn't been scrubbed away. An oeil de boeuf window — that small circula ... click here to read more

On a quiet Tuesday morning in Lorigné, the only sounds you'll catch from the south-facing terrace are birdsong, the faint clatter of a tractor somewhere beyond the stone walls, and the soft hiss of water in the covered pool below. No traffic. No neighbors peering over the fence. Just 1,377 square meters of enclosed garden, a house that's been here long enough to have earned its thick walls and terracotta floors, and the particular French countryside silence that people drive hundreds of kilometers to find. This four-bedroom stone house sits in a small hamlet between Chef-Boutonne and Sauzé-Vaussais in the Deux-Sèvres département — the quieter, less-hyped cousin of the Charente to the south. It's the kind of place that doesn't show up on the tourist trail, which is precisely why people who've discovered it keep coming back. Roughly 150 square meters of living space spread across two levels, a walled garden that feels genuinely private, a heated 8x4 meter covered pool, and a brand-new air-to-water heat pump installed in 2026. Move-in ready isn't a stretch here — this is a house that's been looked after. Step through the front door and the ground floor sets the tone immediately. The kitchen and dining room spans 37 square meters, with original terracotta tiles underfoot and a pellet stove insert in the fireplace that takes the edge off cool autumn evenings. This is the room where the house lives — where long Sunday lunches with a local Pineau des Charentes stretch into afternoon, where garlic and thyme from the garden end up in whatever's on the stove. The proportions feel right. Not cavernous, not cramped. The living room next door is a different proposition entirely: 45 square meters, its own wood-burning stove in a se ... click here to read more

On a still morning in early October, you walk out of the kitchen door onto the south-facing terrace with a bowl of coffee, and you realize you can hear absolutely nothing. No traffic. No sirens. Just the faint rustle of chestnut trees down the slope and, somewhere far off, a woodpigeon. Below you, the grounds roll away toward a private forest where cepes and chanterelles push through the leaf litter after autumn rain. The fruit trees — hazelnut, plum, cherry, pear, apple, grape, even an olive — are heavy at this time of year. This is what €259,950 looks like in the Haute-Vienne. This three-hundred-year-old stone cottage and its attached barn in Domps have been painstakingly transformed over two decades into a warm, practical, deeply liveable home. It's 176 square metres of honest rural architecture — exposed stone walls, original timber beams, thick window reveals — brought properly up to date. New roof. Re-done plumbing and electrics to current French norms. Double glazing throughout. Fibre internet. The bones are ancient; everything that matters is sound. Step inside and the kitchen sets the tone immediately. At 41 square metres, it's a serious room — big enough for a long farmhouse table and still have space to breathe. The centrepiece is an original fireplace now housing a pellet burner that quietly heats the majority of the house. This is the room where the house lives. Coffee in the morning light. Wine before dinner. Guests drifting in from the terrace. Adjoining it, a generous living room with a separate dining area pushes another 41 square metres and opens via French doors onto the front of the property. Its Godin wood-burning stove runs almost for free, given what's standing in your forest. A separate office o ... click here to read more

On a still morning in Saint-Cyr-la-Campagne, you'd wake to the sound of water. Not distant or muffled — the river runs right along the edge of the property, close enough that you hear it through an open window while the coffee brews. There's no road noise, no neighbors peering over the fence, no reason whatsoever to be anywhere else. This is rural Normandy at its most honest: green, quiet, and completely unhurried. The house itself was built in the 1980s, solid and unpretentious, sitting on a fully enclosed and wooded 1,000-square-metre plot that feels twice as large thanks to the riverbank it borders. Since 2021, the owners have been steadily bringing it up to speed — new electrics throughout, a fitted kitchen, a redesigned bathroom with a proper walk-in shower and bathtub, and freshly renovated upstairs bedrooms completed in 2025. The bones were always good. Now the finishing is catching up. Come through the front door and the ground floor opens into a living room that immediately earns its keep. Terracotta floor tiles run underfoot — the warm, slightly uneven kind that makes a room feel lived-in rather than showroom-perfect — and a wood-burning stove anchors one wall. On a grey October afternoon, when the Normandy rain comes in sideways and the leaves on the riverbank go copper and gold, this room becomes the entire reason you bought a house in France. The kitchen adjoins it directly, recently fitted and fully equipped, functional without being clinical. A hallway off the living area leads to a ground-floor bedroom with its own dressing room — a practical touch that works well as a guest room or for anyone who'd rather avoid stairs entirely. The new bathroom sits nearby, tidy and complete. Upstairs, the landing is ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Châteauneuf-du-Faou starts with the smell of buttered crêpes drifting from the boulangerie on Rue de la Mairie, and if you crack open the upstairs window, you'll catch the faint echo of church bells bouncing off the stone facades across the square. That's the kind of detail you can't manufacture. It's either there or it isn't — and here, it absolutely is. This is a rare find in the heart of one of Finistère's most quietly compelling villages: two adjoining stone houses, sold together as a single property, sitting right in the village core with everything you need within a short walk. At 80 square metres combined and priced at €123,500, this is the kind of opportunity that makes serious buyers move fast. Five bedrooms spread across two interconnected dwellings, a landscaped enclosed garden, a garage, and a timber-framed attic just waiting to be converted. The bones are solid — natural slate roof, mains drainage, stone walls that have quietly absorbed two centuries of Breton weather. Let's talk about the layout, because it's genuinely interesting. The first house opens at ground level into an entrance hall that flows into a living and dining room anchored by a working fireplace — the kind you actually use from October through April, not just for Instagram. A kitchen with a shower area sits alongside, and a connecting living room links the two houses together. Head upstairs and you get two good-sized bedrooms. The second house has its own front entrance, kitchen, shower room, WC, and a ground-floor bedroom, with two more bedrooms up top. An attic caps the whole structure, unconverted but full of potential — a home office, a games room for the kids, a reading loft. The layout gives you options that most s ... click here to read more

Step through the heavy front door of this brick-and-flint maître house on a crisp October morning and you hear it immediately — the kind of silence that costs money in most of France. No traffic, just a wood pigeon somewhere in the garden and the faint metallic ring of the Goderville church bell carrying across the Pays de Caux plateau. This is what 172,000 euros buys you in northern Normandy right now: a real house with bones, history, and a plot of land big enough to breathe. Bretteville-du-Grand-Caux sits right on the edge of the Seine-Maritime plateau, a few minutes from the market town of Goderville where the Tuesday morning market draws farmers and locals who've been shopping the same stalls for generations. Pick up a thick wedge of Neufchâtel heart-shaped cheese, a bottle of Calvados from a producer who doesn't export, and a baguette still warm from the boulangerie on Rue du Général de Gaulle. This is everyday life here, not a tourist performance. The house itself is the kind you used to find everywhere in Pays de Caux and now increasingly don't. Brick and silex — that distinctive local flint — laid in the traditional Norman pattern, with generous ceiling heights that make the reception rooms feel genuinely grand rather than merely large. The ground floor opens into spacious living areas that get proper afternoon light through tall windows facing the garden. There's a scale to these rooms that's hard to fake: wide floorboards, high cornices, proportions that belong to an era when builders weren't counting square centimetres. Upstairs, four bedrooms spread comfortably across the first floor. Two face the rear garden and catch the morning sun. The remaining rooms have that characteristic Normandy quietness that c ... click here to read more

On Sunday mornings in Fourges, the only thing you hear is the river. The Epte moves quietly past the old mill at the edge of the village, and if the kitchen window is open, you catch the faint smell of damp grass and whatever someone nearby is baking. This is a village that hasn't tried to reinvent itself. It's just still here — stone walls, a mill that's been grinding for centuries, a pace of life that feels almost unreasonably good. This two-bedroom house sits in that village, in good condition, single-storey, with a generous 1,000 square metre garden running down to the voie verte — a dedicated greenway trail that cuts through the Vexin-sur-Epte countryside. Step straight out of the back gate and you're on a route that takes you through meadows and orchards, past apple trees whose fruit ends up in the local calvados, all the way toward Gisors or down toward the Seine valley. You don't need a car to feel like you're deep in rural Normandy. The landscape just arrives at your doorstep. Inside, the layout is all on one level — no stairs, no fuss. The entrance leads into a living space with a wood-burning stove that makes the room feel entirely different in November than it does in July. In winter it crackles, the walls hold the heat, and the whole house takes on that particular quality of a place that's actually lived in rather than merely visited. The fitted kitchen is practical and fully equipped. There's a large master bedroom, a proper bathroom, a separate WC, and a second smaller room that works equally well as a guest bedroom or a home office for those who work remotely and want to do it somewhere with better views than their city apartment. Under the eaves, a third sleeping space with storage gives you genuine fl ... click here to read more

Stand on the 80-square-metre terrace on a late June morning and you'll hear the Lot River before you see it — a low, unhurried sound threading through the stone village below, mixing with the clatter of a market being set up on the square. That's the rhythm here. Slow, deliberate, and completely irreplaceable. This five-bedroom 17th-century house on the right bank of St-Geniez-d'Olt — the oldest quarter, where the streets are barely wide enough for two people to pass comfortably — sits at a kind of sweet spot that's genuinely hard to find anywhere in southern France at this price point. The village itself is the kind of place travel writers keep "discovering" and then quietly keeping to themselves. Crossed by the Lot River and framed by the wooded hills of Aveyron, St-Geniez-d'Olt sits at the edge of the Aubrac plateau — one of the last genuinely unspoiled high plateaux in France. The surrounding landscape is why people who come here for a week end up buying property. Rolling grassland grazed by the famous Aubrac cattle, forests of beech and oak climbing the valley sides, and the Lot cutting a clean green line through it all. In July, the village hosts its annual fête with fireworks over the river. In autumn, the hills go amber and rust, and local restaurants put aligot — that volcanic, cheese-pulled potato dish unique to this corner of France — on every menu. In winter, the Aubrac plateau gets real snow, and the cross-country skiing trails around Laguiole are less than 40 minutes away. The house carries its age with dignity rather than fragility. Push open the street door and the shift is immediate: pebble-set floors underfoot, walls of raw stone, and the particular cool quiet of a building that has absorbed three cen ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Bergerac starts with the smell of fresh bread drifting up from the boulangerie two blocks away. You open the kitchen door onto the 17-square-metre terrace, coffee in hand, and catch the faint sound of the market vendors setting up along the Place de la Madeleine. That's the rhythm of life this house puts you inside — not on the edge of it, not behind glass. Right in it. This solid 1930s house sits a short walk from the old town centre of Bergerac, one of the most quietly rewarding towns in the entire Dordogne valley. The architecture still carries the bones of the interwar period — the proportions feel generous, the walls thick enough to keep rooms cool well into July — and recent upgrades have brought the practicalities firmly into the present. A newly installed heat pump, air conditioning, full double glazing, and a fitted kitchen mean you arrive and you live, rather than renovate and wait. The ground floor layout is genuinely sociable. The living room flows naturally toward the open-plan kitchen and dining area, which spills directly out onto the terrace. Summer evenings here have a particular quality: the Dordogne region holds its warmth well into September, and al fresco dinners under the fading light are less a special occasion than a Tuesday habit. The ground floor also holds a bedroom and shower room — useful for guests who'd rather skip the stairs, or for turning the upper floor into a private retreat when the house is full. Upstairs, two spacious double bedrooms and a dressing room give the house a flexibility that shorter-term rentals rarely achieve. There's room for couples, families, or the kind of extended-family gathering that the French countryside seems specifically designed to encou ... click here to read more

Step out onto the front terrace on a July morning and you'll hear it before you see it — the faint toll of the village bell drifting up the hillside, a pair of swallows cutting arcs above the limestone cliffs, and nothing else. That's the particular silence of Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil. Not emptiness — richness. The kind that costs nothing and stays with you long after you've gone home. This compact stone cottage sits elevated against the hillside, looking out over a deeply green valley that hasn't changed much since the Cro-Magnon people found shelter in these same cliffs 15,000 years ago. It's been recently renovated — properly done, not cosmetically patched — and the result is a property that works hard despite its modest 41 square metres. Two levels. An open-plan kitchen and living room on the ground floor where the original stone walls keep things cool without air conditioning even in August heat. A shower room tucked neatly beside it. Climb the stairs and you arrive at a single bedroom that catches the morning light and looks out over the terraced hillside below. Three terraces. That detail matters more than it sounds. The front terrace is where you'll drink your coffee. The side terrace catches the afternoon shade and is where you'll eat dinner — confit de canard from the butcher on the main road through the village, a glass of Bergerac rouge, the kind of meal that takes two hours because that's the pace here. The raised terrace at the upper side has a different quality altogether — quieter, more private, the kind of spot where you bring a book and lose an afternoon. Add a renovated outbuilding that can serve as a studio, office, or extra storage, a stone cellar for keeping wine at the right temperature year-r ... click here to read more

Stand at the front garden gate on a Tuesday morning and you'll hear the Blavet river before you see it. That low, constant murmur threading through the valley — that's the soundtrack to life in Saint-Nicolas-des-Eaux, one of the most quietly extraordinary villages in inland Brittany. The church bell chimes at eight. Someone at the bar-tabac two minutes' walk away is already pulling espresso. And your kitchen window in a house that has stood for over five centuries frames all of it. This is not a renovation fantasy or a project dressed up in estate-agent optimism. The property is in good condition — two stone houses, sold together, on a plot of around 1,093 square metres with gardens front and back and a workshop of 26 square metres. Move in, light the wood-burning stove, and work out what to do with the rest later. That's genuinely an option here. The older of the two houses is the one that stops people in their tracks. Thatched roof, stone walls thick enough to keep August heat out and January damp firmly in its place, a kitchen-dining-living room arranged around a fireplace that clearly earns its keep every winter. Upstairs, a mezzanine level — currently used as a bedroom — gives the space a kind of loft-like openness, and a large double bedroom sits alongside it. The bathroom with WC is on the ground floor, practical and sorted. The second house connects directly through a door, which makes the whole arrangement work brilliantly for families or visiting friends: two distinct spaces, one shared garden life. The ground-floor of the second house has a living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom with WC, and a useful storage room. Its first floor adds another mezzanine bedroom, a washbasin, and a further bedroom. Three bedr ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Fourges starts quietly. A wood stove ticks as it warms up, the smell of coffee mixing with something faintly earthy drifting in from the garden — damp grass, river water, the particular cool greenness that only the Epte valley seems to produce. From the kitchen window, you can see the old mill wheel at the edge of the village, still and mossy in the early light. This is the pace of life that the Norman countryside does better than almost anywhere else in France, and this two-bedroom house on a thousand square metres of land puts you right at the centre of it. Fourges sits in the heart of the Vexin Normand, a natural regional park that most Parisians have never discovered — which is precisely the point. The village itself is famous locally for its 12th-century watermill on the Epte, a river that famously marked the medieval boundary between Normandy and the Île-de-France. Monet painted these fields. The light here has a quality that artists have been chasing for centuries, soft and diffuse in summer, dramatic and low in autumn, and frankly extraordinary on winter afternoons when the frost sits on the meadows and the river runs dark green. You will notice it every single day. The house is single-storey, a practical layout that makes it genuinely easy to manage as a second home or holiday property in France. The entrance opens into a living space anchored by a wood-burning stove — the real thing, not decorative — which handles the bulk of heating through the colder months without fuss. The kitchen is fitted and equipped, ready to use from day one, which matters when you're arriving on a Friday evening and want to eat well without a supermarket run. One generous bedroom and a bathroom complete the main fl ... click here to read more
