Manoir de Plaisance

This is a perfect place to relax - far from any bustle, or noisy road. The manor is surrounded by countryside with a brook running through the garden near the house with ducks and beaver-like coypu swimming under the water lilies. The bedroom was charmingly furnished with the only comfortable pillows we had during two weeks travelling in France. We also had the best breakfast with memorable breads and pastries. Ben and Michael have got it exactly right. I've no criticisms! There were even sockets for iPhone chargers in the bedroom and plenty of hooks to hang robes and towels in the bathroom (a constant gripe of mine). Ben cooked a fantastic dinner which we ate outside to the sound of the brook. They don't do dinner every night but recommend local places to visit.

Tip Top and Not ?! Tip Top? Everything !!! The warm and friendly welcome The beautiful room The gorgeous building The exquisite food The amazing decor The fabulous pool The friendly peacock and chickens The general atmosphere! This was our second visit and we were not disappointed!!! Planning our next trip already ! Not ? Nothing !!! This place is paradise 🧡

Absolutely charming place with charming hosts. Ben and Michael make a great team, the attention to detail is superb, dinner was lovely (don’t know if I loved the warm hummus but it didn’t detract from the whole experience). Definitely recommend staying here.

A beautiful building set in beautiful grounds. They only open for dinner on limited days but they recommended a number of restaurants and we went to Les Flots in La Rochelle which was excellent. Super breakfast with option to cook eggs as wells as continental. Nice British owners.

Tip Top & Not! Tip Top ? Everything !!! Wow ! Building Location Hosts Rooms Breakfast The pool There really are no words . This place and its hosts are just wonderful. Far more than just a B&B , this is a truly magical place, offering everything you desire . Not? Nothing Wouldn’t fault anything - Ben and Michael please don’t change a thing! Next time we visit we will book in on an evening when dinner is being served as we are sure this would be amazing too!!! Thank you so much !!!

It is impossible to complement this beautiful house and its surrounding estate of lakes and walks too highly. Set in the Charente-Maritime Region within easy reach of La Rochelle, Ben and Michael have created a beautiful and tranquil place with an impeccable and relaxed touch. Tha food is also excellent and Ben and Michael are the most wonderful hosts, wy wife and I will certainly return.
