We are not in a touristy town and all the attractions that the Dordogne has to offer are quite far away so that is the reason the room prices are low....I wish we could charge more but the competition in the town dictates our prices. Thanks again Julie    Report

May have to revert to just continental if it all proves to be too expensive, but time will tell. The French bacon is not too bad also, or is it just that i have forgotten the other Julie    Report

I shall be very interested to hear how you feel at the end of the season and if you have made any changes in what you offer and what you charge.  Please keep us updated on how it all goes.    Report
