Sam and James are fantastic people. They have created something truly impressive for themselves in the guest house, and it is to everyone's advantage that they are so open to sharing it. Their home is beautiful, the surrounding region is beautiful and they are too! Sam is truly lovely, she is a fountain of knowledge and an intellectual of many stripes. She can teach you about many things and her cooking is amazing - you can learn so much from them. James is a gentleman with many experiences and we got on like a house on fire. I could write a tome on how positive my stay was. You simply must visit.

I cannot imagine better hosts than Sam and James, a lovely couple. They are incredibly patient, showing me everything with care and passion. Their generosity knows no bounds—they offered help whenever I needed it. They have a unique gift for seeing the beauty in everyone and are always quick to share kind words and encouragement. Living with them felt like a fairy tale, surrounded by beautiful landscapes, wonderful people, and their adorable dog, Princess Noodle. They are truly amazing!

Sam and James are simply the best! They provide a very meaningful and environmentally conscious experience in the beautiful Corrèze region of France. I felt immediately part of the family and my expected tasks were very fair. I absolutely love their little inn and all that they are doing to provide a beautiful and relaxing experience for their guests and volunteers. Sam is an incredible chef and is so innovative with ingredients and presentation. A true artist in the kitchen! James provides beautiful bike rides around the Corrèze region along with working hard around the inn. Simply the best!
