The surroundings are not spectacular, but the house is comfortable and the garden charming. it's a pity that we couldn't try the pool and wash off the dust from the roads due to the weather. Even with our late arrival, the pleasant hostess arranged a reservation for us in a restaurant in the neighboring village, and in the morning we were greeted with a wonderful breakfast. Highly recommended to anyone passing through the area.

the wooden floor squeaks underfoot and you felt like you were disturbing your neighbors, but that was a minor blemish on an otherwise beautiful picture

Lily and David are very welcoming hosts who instantly put their guests at ease with a smile and kind words. (In English.) Every need was met; every enquiry prompted thoughtful and helpful responses. Lily’s recommendations on where to shop and eat led us to dine at a small restaurant a short distance away where the food and wine were superb and the service was excellent. Our evening at Bucket’s auberge was one of the best we’ve had during our current trip to France. A real discovery thanks to our insightful hosts. Our room was large and comfortable; very clean and well maintained. Despite being on a major road, the property was quiet and free from traffic noise. Plenty of on-site parking made loading and unloading the car a breeze.

Our hire car was equipped with the latest in GPS navigation but failed to direct us correctly to the property. After several passes thru the near vicinity we turned on our phone and Google Maps led us to the door in an instant. This slight glitch was not the fault of the owners but seems a fairly common guest experience… and one that is easily resolved. Have your phone close at hand or download screen shots and directions from Google Maps before you travel.

Lily welcomed us very kindly and you can feel she has a heart to accomodate a B&B and pay attention to her guests. We had a nice room with good beds and a nice large bathroom. We could use the fridge in the veranda and had a lovely time in the beautiful large garden with swimming pool. Breakfast had everything we could wish for, good coffee included. Enough space to park the car. Would definitely like to stay here again!

Nothing

This is a lovely place to stay. A friendly welcome from Lily and David set the tone of our stay. The room was spacious with a beautiful en-suite and all spotlessly clean. The pool was lovely and a great place to cool off at the end of the day. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious with fresh croissants and bread, fresh fruit including figs from the garden and meat , cheese jam etc. Lily and David have thought of everything, kettle with tea making stuff in the room , including a cafetière and proper coffee, fresh milk in the fridge and cool bottles of water. Lily contacted us in advance and arranged dinner reservations at some lovely restaurants and a tour of a local chateau with wine tasting. They are superb hosts and I cannot fault the place at all, we will definitely return if we are in the area.

I just arrived home after staying for a few days for a wedding in the area. Staying at Le Grand Chemin De La Vie was the best decision of the trip. Firstly and most importantly we received the warmest welcome from out hosts Lilly and David. We were instantly made to feel like part of the family which made for a very relaxing stay. They kindly booked us a table at a local restaurant so we could eat on our first night and were always on hand to help us with anything we needed. The pool area is fantastic and and provided some welcome relief as temperatures reached 40c. Rooms are spotlessly clean with comfortable beds and the breakfast was great. I originally booked the hotel due its close proximity to the wedding venue but it has been such a lovely bonus that the hotel and our stay have been so good. My friend has already booked a return visit and I'm sure ill be back again too. Thanks for a great few days.

we could not have asked for a better welcome from the couple who own this hotel , so friendly and they went above and beyond to make our stay just perfect. We were there for four days and nights to celebrate my eldest daughters wedding and we booked with my the whole four rooms with the rest of my children and partners , meaning we had the place to our selves , which was lovely . The property is a little haven and you can have a totally relaxing stay or you can get out and about visiting places around you . we were recommended places to eat on an evening and they did not disappoint . like I say it was just perfect

they was nothing to dislike

The breakfast was good. We can use the whole accommodation with BBQ, dishes, microwave, pool equipment, garden, tea & coffee bar, WiFi, television. We had a great home base to discover the area around St Emilion and enjoy our quality time with family.

Is appartement is next to the national road, but with less trafic at night.

Fantastic B&B with the warmest welcome from the owners. Great breakfast and a beautiful outdoor pool. Highly recommend and will definitely be back. Exceptional value for money.

Super accommodation - very good value, beautifully presented rooms, spotlessly clean. Hosts were welcoming and couldn’t do enough to make our stay special. Cosy sitting room. Lovely garden with pool where guests can sit. Cannot fault this lovely guest house, and thoroughly recommend to future guests.

Perfect! Nothing to dislike.
