“Great place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 November 2011

After searching for a decent B&B in Bergerac on line I couldn't find any that had persistantly good reviews so I widened the the search to within 5 miles of town and saw La Muscadelle. It is absolutely ideal for Bergerac Airport. An easy 10 minute drive along quiet roads that got me into driving on the "wrong" side of the road without any alarms. The house is not on the flight path and set in lovely countryside. The owners are English which made life a little easier for the first day of my holiday so I didn't have to think about speaking French after a long journey, a bit of a cop-out I know!

We spent the first and last days of our holiday here and both were a pleasure. If we had stayed longer I feel I would give it 5 stars but we didn't have time to sample the great looking pool or hang around very long there. The room was perfectly fine and it was nice to have our own door in/out, to enable us to sit and do some star gazing on the patio outside.

The breakfast was a communal affair with all guests sitting at one large table. Call it English reserve but eating breakfast with strangers is not my first choice, however Michael, the co owner, is a cheery soul and keeps the conversations bouncing along in French and English. Overall breakfast was a fun experience.

Will definitely try to book here whenever we fly to Bergerac airport.

Finally, They recommended that we eat at the "Grape D'Or" restaurant for an evening meal. The food was top class but only go there if your pockets are deeper than mine! It cost me (inc tip) £ 25 for what was just a large chicken leg with some sauce and a glass of wine.

“We would go back tomorrow”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2011

person found this review helpful

La Muscadelle is a delightful place to stay. We have never stayed at a B&B we enjoyed more. Michael and Brenda are awfully nice, Michael puts together a great breakfast (fresh bread each morning, of course), sitting on the patio chatting with them and any other guests that are around was great fun. Michael is very knowledgeable on the local restaurants, one of the best meals I have ever had was his recommendation (and he drove us there and picked us up afterwards!!!)

The location was perfect. In general, it is central to a wonderful area to tour. Located in the country, La Muscadelle is quiet, settled in the middle of beautiful vineyards, but close to town. We walked to the chateau to sample the wines (which are excellent).

we only had three nights there, we will go back.

“Dordogne par excellence”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2011

Just returned from this chambre d’hotes and can recommend it without any reservations. The lovely quiet location, the quality of the accommodation and, above all, the warmth of the hospitality offered by Brenda and Michael combine to outshine any hotel you might otherwise consider. You won’t want to return home!

Room Tip: All rooms are great

“5 star experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

La Muscadelle is in the heart of the wine tasting region. We had a walk around Monbazillac and managed to sample and buy the best wines we have ever tasted. On top of that, everything you read in the previous reviews about Brenda and Mike is true, so we were very lucky to stumble across this place. The setting is incredible, especially in the evening with the sun setting over the vineyards. The stay is such great value for money- a large fresh breakfast is included. The rooms have their own private patio entrance which I liked, and the pool can be open or covered during winter. If I come to the region again I will definitely stay here because it is worth every one of the 5 stars I have rated it!

“Attention to Detail”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011

We had read the excellent reviews of La Muscadelle and were, therefore, expecting a very high standard- and we got it. The welcome was warm and friendly and the little kindnesses shown were appreciated. Our room was comfortable and looked out over the garden that looked splendid. The attention to detail reflected Michael's training in the Royal Navy. This is the most comfortable Chambre dHote we have visited in France. Michael and Brenda are to be congratulated on all that they hav done to make La Muscadelle such a happy place to stay.

Room Tip: We were shown all the bedroom and they were equally good.
