Country living au centre du village.
Maison Numero Neuf is situated in the middle of La Souterainne, a typical French tres petit village just along the A20 highway. We stayed there for a 2-day stopover travelling from Lot-et-Garonne to Normandy and we are FAN!
So lovely, so beautiful, so delicioussssssss!!!! Maison Numero Neuf is run by an English family with 2 kids and is just the BEST mix of all good things of their old and new homebases. Beautiful brocante with a touch of Farrow & Ball combined with colourful floral wallpapers, a henhouse, swings and chandeliers in the trees, crisp cotton linen and towels from 'The White Company' and a selection of L'Occitane toiletries. And above all: the lovely owners are not only incredibly friendly and hospitable, but having run a successfull, award-winning, restaurant in Buckinghamshire in their former life, they serve superduper dinners!
To give you a flavour, this is the email I received from Duncan (the owner): 'Thank you for your reservation. To prepare dinner for you will be a pleasure. We are more than happy to do a children's dinner earlier. We find that Lisa's mini chicken fillets in a parmesan and polenta crumb with some chips go down well with our younger guests. We can then do dinner for the adults later on.'
....Hurray!!! A kiddies table d'hote around 6pm, and a finger lickin' good romantic dinner for the two of us afterwards. Quite a USP.
