Owners David and Lane invite you to stay in their luxury home in the centre of Champagne-Mouton, the perfect base for exploring all that the Charente and Limousin departments have to offer. With good roads and easy access to many of France's beautiful cities and coastal areas, you can explore the vineyards of Bordeaux, the ancient cities of Angouleme, Perigueux and Limoges, sample the finest aperitifs in Cognac, head out to the coast for beaches or island visits, or simply relax in the private garden.

Interior designer Lane Hunt BA Hons and former music business manager David Carr have followed their dreams to France and set about turning their mansion house, built in 1854 into a unique and bijou Bed & Breakfast.

After running away with a French circus in 2014 and writing a book about his adventures, David persuaded Lane to look for a house in the Charente, and it was not long before the perfect property was offered to them in the beautiful town of Champagne-Mouton. Lane personally designed every room in the house, and they both spent months finding antique furniture in keeping with the age of the building and restoring the formal garden and Orangery.
