Frederick was an amazing host. My husband and I stayed for two nights while we were there to see Belleau Wood. It was very easy to get around using UBER. The room was fantastic and as a bonus we got to hang out with the sweetest pup. Frederick had an amazing selection of preserves, cheeses, wine, and champagnes. Would 1000% stay there again!!

Wonderful place to be

This was the best stay during our week around France. Found it by chance but booked based on reviews and they were true. The host Fred took very good care of us and served a lovely dinner with the best champagne. Spent the night in good company of the other guests. Tranquil, nice settings and comfy beds. A+++

Inconspicuous from the outside, lovingly restored with a great deal of passion and dedication on the inside. Fantastic, huge garden behind the house Very good and friendly hosts. Great breakfast with homemade jams and local products. Good selection of good champagnes with direct contact to the winegrowers. Very close to the motorway towards Paris and yet in the middle of nowhere.

lovely stay at Chez Fred

A very unique experience. Host Fred very welcoming, Room very comfortable and quiet. Property full of character, and warm ,as nights were getting chilly in October. We had a great evening meal ,with other guests around the kitchen table. . Fred had an amazing range of French wines for a B& B. It was just like dining with friends, that you hadn't caught up with for some time. We can thoroughly recommend the experience

Enjoyed our final two nights in France here before catching a flight home from CDG. With some advanced notice, Fred waited up for us as we were driving from Alsace. The rooms were comfortable for my family of 5. Fred provided a magnificent breakfast each morning which we enjoyed. Fred was also very helpful in providing tourist suggestions in the area including a good playground for our kids. One note that if you're tall like me, the entry from the street into the yard is low and there are a couple of places where you need to duck your head inside the house.

An unexpectedly good and relaxing stay.

We stayed for 2 nights on our way back to the UK and will definitely return. Our room was recently refurbished in an old style and was spacious and comfortable. Fred and Cecile are great hosts and chat with those guests who want to in English or French. The garden is very relaxing and we were free to use it whenever we wanted. I would recommend the local food that they offer at supper time for one evening as well. Thanks for a wonderful welcome and a relaxing stay. Sara and Luigi

It's a bit off the beaten track. It's a very old farmhouse, but the room I stayed in was very nice. The host was very pleasant. When I arrived, there was no one there, but I had booked late, and the host didn't expect to have a guest. But he arrived soon after I did. They make their own jellies and jams from fruits from their own garden. Quite good. Very nice quiet area.

We had a great stay at this property. We opted for a taster menu of local sourced produce and we were very impressed. It included a melon with a liqueur on top, a fresh salad, some hams and pâté and a fabulous selection of cheese. We had some local champagne to drink with. We were in food heaven. It was very quiet and slept like babies. The breakfast was also delicious, with so many home made jams, fresh bread and croissant. Juice snd tea and coffee. Fred was very good and made sure we were looked after. The grounds are beautiful with a river stream at the bottom of the garden. Highly recommend!

Traumhaftes Hideaway in der Champagne

Romantisches 500 Jahre altes Bauernhaus, liebevoll restauriert. Der Gastgeber betreut seine Gäste mit ganz viel Freude und Begeisterung. Bequeme Betten. Sauberes Bad. Traumhafter großer Garten. Ruhige Umgebung. Der Gastgeber serviert allen Gästen gemeinsam ein großartiges Frühstück mit hausgemachten Marmeladen, Croissant und Baguette. Ein absoluter Traum!

A warm welcome in a quaint old stone house. Fred was charming and very helpful. The room was spacious and full of character. It was. Very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was traditional French with delicious homemade jams and preserves made from produce in the graden. The nearby town of Château-Thierry has all the shops and restaurants you may need. Definitely a place to return to.

Lage sehr ländlich znd ruhig. Nächste Stadt aber schnell mit dem Auto erreichbar. Die Unterkunft befindet sich in einem über 500 Jahre altem Haus, das liebevoll und mit vielen Details hergerichtet wurde. Es ist teilweise sehr verwinkelt mit niedriger Deckenhöhe. Insgesamt sauber und das Frühstück war sehr gut und einer großen Auswahl an selbstgemachten Marmeladen.
