Le Cuisinier en Combraille is set in an idyllic location, nestled in the Auvergne countryside. It is a gorgeous house, much care taken to decorate and accessorise. Jacco and Cees are wonderful hosts, with great attention to detail and the food is fine dining at its best. 3 courses and a muse bouche! Totally delicious. Or bedroom and bed were very comfortable indeed and we had everything we needed and more. Thank you Jacco and Cees

This was our second stay at Le Cuisiner and it didn't disappoint. Jakob and Cees are such warm and welcoming hosts. The location is gorgeous, its idyllic, very tucked away and peaceful. Our room, a superior double with terrace leading into the beautiful garden was really lovely, comfortable and very spacious. We loved the painting of the cows! Dinner which was served outside on the deck (we stayed in August) was a highlight. Sadly we only stayed the one night as we were heading South but this is a perfect spot and a wonderful place to stay. We will definitely return and for longer next time.

We had a nice stay at the property which is in an idyllic and quiet setting in the Auvergne. The garden is full of flowers and plants and it was a delight to sit there and look out over the fields. The dinner was delicious and served on the cozy terrace. The owners were very pleasant, and they paused for a chat if one wanted to, but at the same time kept a discreet distance. The bedroom was tastefully decorated.

Everything was great and worth another visit

Situated in a quiet, verdant valley, this is wonderful escape. The property has beautifully kept gardens and a lovely covered terrace. Jacco's cooking is excellent and the breakfast is also far superior to most French B&Bs. Jacco and Cees are charming hosts. The rooms themselves are fairly small and being in the basement of the house are a little dark and have a very slight cellar scent. But they are well equipped and each has its own patio area.

I stayed here for one night, travelling on my motorbike en route to Montpellier. Jakob went out of his way to offer me parking for my bike in his barn. Their house is a beautifully restored building in an idyllic, rural setting and they immediately made me feel at home. There's a lovely garden and the my loft room had superb views over the countryside. Dinner was made by Jakob and exceptional. Had I not had a long ride the next day I would have sampled some of Cees's excellent cellar.

Nothing.

Psst, don't tell anyone, I would like to keep it a secret place :-) - Truly a perfect piece of heaven! The room, the garden, the services, the incredible hosts, the food, the breakfast / dinner deck.... everything together makes for a such a wonderful relaxing place to stay in a beautiful part of France. I normally don't return to places as there is so much to see and experience in the world but this one.... Gents, we will back!

Extremely welcoming and relaxing environment. Beautiful informal gardens to enjoy. Homely but elegant French Country interiors. Location was quiet…. nearest village with facilities 10km away. Small number of guests made mealtimes quite homely … set evening menus were of excellent quality and thoroughly enjoyed (of course we were asked if we had any dietary requirements). A good choice of wines were offered. Breakfast had more choices from light continental to cooked… very fresh ingredients with homemade condiments. The hosts were very helpful and excellent with us as English speakers.

We would have liked to have stayed longer.

Le Cuisinier en Combraille is a true jewel to be found in the French countryside. A heart warming welcome to a stunning house and gardens, the food exquisite, the attention to detail and all set in a rural and calming setting..When we visit the area again we will definitely stay again.

Exceptionql hosts, the warmest of welcomes, fabulous room, and glorious food, all in a lovely quiet rural location, with a delightful garden to explore. We had stayed once before, in 2019, and had been trying to create an opportunity to revisit ever since. We will not leave it so long after Neil the next visit!

Having to leave!

Fabulous overnight stay in the country with kind and welcoming hosts. The dinner was superb and highly recommended. Thank you for the beautiful large room which opened out onto a gorgeous garden and had our own chairs, table and umbrella on the small terrace right outside our room.

Nothing! A very enjoyable overnight stay on our way to Lyon.
