    Breakfast was excellent, with Gavin and Lori very attentive, and the location was fine for our requirements, and close to restaurants and other amenities. The pool, and surrounding area, were very pleasant and the EV charger was an extra attraction.

  • Good Morning. Are you able to provide an evening meal? Night of Friday 12th August?

    We are presently not planning to provide dinner during July and August as these are particularly busy months in the B&B. However, we have a number of restaurants open that are within walking distance.
    Answered on 3 June 2022
  • Where is the closest parking please. Also if we wanted a meal on Tuesday 13 September would that be possible?

    We have parking in our courtyard for 5-6 cars. We are unable to provide a meal on 13 Sep, but there are a few restaurants in walking distance of the house.
    Answered on 8 September 2022
  • We will need to charge our electric car. Can you let us know how much you charge please. Thank you

    I think we answered this question yesterday and you have booked a room. We have allocated the EV charger for the night. The rates are hybrid €10 and full elec €15.

Company information

I am from Canada originally and spent over 22 years in the Canadian Forces as an Artillery Officer before meeting Gavin and after several years of long-distance travel between Canada and the UK, we were married in 2003. Since then, I have worked for a variety of companies in the field of Learning and Development. My husband Gavin is from Scotland originally and spent over 37 years in the British Forces as a Logistics Officer, which meant we travelled all over the UK and spent a few years in Italy. After retiring from the British Forces, Gavin worked for the past 7 years in the field of Science and Technology which took us to Southsea, UK, where we loved living beside the seaside. We decided to pursue our long-held dream of owning a Bed and Breakfast in France. After viewing over 25 properties, we fell in love with 5 Grande Rue as soon as we walked through the door and we hope you will too. We are passionate about sharing our home with you as we both love entertaining and we look forward to a house filled with fun and laughter set in this picture postcard setting.

Property information

There are five individually designed bedrooms that blend traditional period features with the usual modern-day comforts. Each well-proportioned and spacious bedroom is furnished with your comfort in mind with sumptuous beds complemented with 400 thread count linens and quality towels. You can stay in one of our beautifully appointed rooms, all en-suite and designed to make your overnight stay very special, for as little as 85 euros a night.

The garden and terrace provide space to enjoy a meal, a drink, read a book or just enjoy the peace and tranquillity of our outside space. Our new swimming pool is in the client garden. It is heated and has sun loungers. We plan to open it from April until late September.

Neighbourhood information

Gavin and Lori would like to welcome you to 5 Grande Rue, our lovely B&B, peacefully located in the centre of Le Lude, France.
