Accommodation, food & booking
We want to share the excitement we feel about our home with you and will try and provide the kind of home from home comforts you would hope to receive from staying with favourite family or friends, with the little touches that are so nice when staying in good hotels.
Our chambres d’hôtes rooms have Egyptian cotton sheets, large fluffy bath towels and L’Occitane toiletries. There are hairdryers, Sony TVs with French and English satellite channels, Bose Soundlink Bluetooth speakers, Nespresso Coffee Machines and kettles so that you can enjoy tisanes or a good old cup of builder’s tea.
Breakfast is included in our room rates and can be delivered to your room or laid out on the terrace during summer months. We source all of our food locally, and a typical breakfast includes a selection of fresh French bread and pastries, ham, cheese, fruit, yoghurt, confitures and honey, as well as fruit juices, tea and coffee.
Free and fast wi-fi throughout the whole property is available and of course car parking is ample.
We are always pleased to provide anything you want before your arrival or during your stay with us. Maybe you want flowers, a restaurant reservation, chocolates or cake to celebrate a special occasion. Or perhaps you’ve forgotten to bring something and don’t want to spend your precious holiday time running errands. Wherever possible we will try to oblige.
Accommodation
Maison Lamothe has three storeys; a lower ground floor, ground floor and upper floor. Whether renting the whole house or staying with us in our chambres d’hôtes we appreciate how important it is for you to have privacy and only to meet us and our other guests when you wish. There’s Saint-Antoine which is a studio on the lower ground floor with its own private terrace, Lachapelle and Gramont on the upper floor which share a private sitting room and make an ideal suite of rooms for a family or Miradoux on the ground floor with its huge bathroom and views over the gardens.
We don’t stay on site if you book the whole house, we have alternative accommodation locally and are on hand if you need us for anything.
Saint-Antoine
A couple’s perfect hideaway on the lower ground floor, Saint-Antoine has a king-size bed and modern en-suite shower room. There is a private terrace outside the French doors where you can take meals if you wish or relax on sun loungers and there is a direct path from the terrace down to the pool.

Gramont
Gramont, also on the upper floor, is a twin bedded room which is quirky and full of charm. If staying in a fairy tale room in the eaves is what you are looking for then this is for you. The room does however have a low beam and whilst this is the main attraction for some it will not work for others. An additional single bed can be added upon request.

Lachapelle & Gramont
Lachapelle and Gramont are situated at either end of a large living area, and booked together make an ideal private family suite. With squashy sofas this provides a relaxing space in which to wind down. There’s a dining table and chairs, so you can take supper or breakfast up here if you wish or get down to a highly competitive board game.
This space ideally suits up to 4 people, but at a pinch more can be accommodated. Let us know your requirements and we will give you our honest view on whether there will be enough room for you. And, as you might expect with an attic space, there are large oak beams which are moderately low, so if you’re tall, you will need to take care.
Miradoux
A bright and airy room situated in the far corner of the ground floor, it has a king-size bed, very large bathroom and views to the front of the house towards the copse and stream.

Maison Lamothe entière
Why not have the whole house to yourself? Perfect for long summer holidays for extended families or groups of friends. Or maybe you all want to get together to celebrate a special anniversary or birthday? Also ideal for retreats and workshops and we can even arrange overspill accommodation close by.
In addition to use of Saint-Antoine, Lachapelle, Gramont and Miradoux, there are 2 additional double bedrooms (all en-suite) giving you a 6 bedroom, 6 bathroom property. Maison Lamothe ideally suits no more than 14 people but a few more children could be accommodated. We recommend no more than 15 but let us have your exact requirements and we’ll give you our honest view whether the house will work for you.
As well as lots of bedrooms and bathrooms, there are two sitting rooms – one on the upper floor which is air-conditioned, one on the ground floor, a modern well-equipped kitchen and a summer room which we use as a dining room but would be a bit too cosy for a 14-person meal. However, with a stunning covered terrace that has electric lighting, a gas barbeque and heaters you’ll want to eat Al Fresco even when our near perfect weather is having one of its rare off days.
We vacate the property during your stay but have alternative accommodation close by so we’re always on hand to help with any requirements or requests you might have. We can provide shopping and cleaning services or even arrange for someone to come and cook a special supper.
Rates for the exclusive use of our home for a minimum of one week are on request only. Please contact us.
Food
And of course, any stay in Gascony is always about the food of which the region is so rightly proud. There are lots of excellent restaurants to suit all budgets. We are always happy to recommend and book restaurants on your behalf and can provide taxi services if required.
If you fancy dining in the seclusion of Maison Lamothe, evening meals are available on request and are provided on a table d’hôte basis (i.e. you get what we’re cooking that night!) 4 courses plus table wine and coffee is charged at €25 per head which we usually serve on the terrace. Most of the ingredients we use are from high quality local producers. Please let us know of any special dietary requirements prior to arrival.
