Word spreads
In 2021 we were able to experience how it feels to share part of our world when we opened the doors to our Chambre d’hôte. It has been so rewarding welcoming guests into our home, sharing our local knowledge and enjoying chattingf over dinner with them. We are confident that over the coming weeks, as restrictions start to lift, people will start to plan their travels for 2022. For those that choose to stay with us, whether they are looking for a weekend away, or a summer break, we know we will help create beautiful holiday memories for them.
When we opened our chambre d’hôte we decided not to use any of the big booking sites like booking.com, but have worked on sharing our offering via social media and word of mouth. We are keen to make sure we can look after our guests properly, not just fill our rooms. After all, if our guests want to dine with us we need time to prepare a delicious meal for instance, which starts with a trip to the local markets.
Once experienced our beautifully styled maison de maître in southern champagne is hard to leave. It’s a place where you can relax with the family by the pool, or sit back and enjoy a quiet glass of bubbly overlooking the vineyards. The route du Champagne runs directly past our door, so you can hop in a car and easily find the best Champagne has to offer. Or if you are up to it, go for a stroll, or a hike, exploring the village and countryside to build up that appetite before dinner.
We are very thankful for people supporting and continuing to share our links and photos with other like-minded people - so please feel free to share our details with family and friends and ask them to pass them on, it really is very much appreciated. We hope that with the current challenges with travel this more exclusive choice will be valued by our guests.
This year we still have a few jobs in the barn and atelier to do and will prioritise a couple of projects we need to start in the house, which will not interrupt the Chambre d’hôte. It’s a bit of a balancing act, but it adds to the enjoyment getting things ticked off the list. In addition to this we want to continue to map more walks to make available to our guests to follow. We so love getting out walking, and we know this will be of interest to our visitors also.
I think it’s going to be an exciting year, and we do hope that some of you will be able to share it with us, and please keep spreading the word.
