ABOUT US
We, the Meiland / Renkema family, started our new adventure in February 2019 in the village of Beynac, eight kilometers from Limoges, the city famous for its porcelain. You might know us from the Dutch version of the program '' No going back" in which we were followed in 2006 during the renovation of a castle and in 2007 while actually running a B & B in the castle.
Years later, when the kids were grown, we again started searching for an inspiring location further south and after about two years we found this beautiful family-estate. The central location near a great city like Limoges and the peaceful surroundings of the castle were exactly what we were looking for.
THE ROOMS
The rooms are named after the women who once lived on the estate. Book one of the three spacious castle rooms or the two Suite´s for four people.

Oradour sur Glane
The village is a breathtaking testament to the horrors committed during the second World War.

Everything has been kept exactly how it has been left that one fatal day during the war.
