Evening Meal

Adds 34 Euros per person on top for our 4-course meal (Starter, Main Course, Cheese & Desert). This includes  a complimentary home-made aperitif served before dinner as a nice ice-breaker to meet your fellow diners. Children are given the same food as their parents – those aged 8 to 12 inclusive at 24 Euros & those aged 7 and under having a half-portion for 16 Euros (depending on age). Children’s meals include a soft drink as the aperitif.

Having dinner at La Belle Demeure is not at all compulsory, but must be reserved by prior arrangement. While this price does not include wine, coffee, bottled water etc., we are a licensed establishment so your meal can be accompanied by your choice from our reasonably priced list of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. If you have any particular food allergies/dislikes, do let us know at the time of booking.

As we do serve dinner and have a drinks menu, please note that we do ask you not to picnic or to consume your own food and drink on the premises.

ARRIVal times

Between 5pm and 7pm.  However, do consult us well beforehand should you fall outside these hours.

check out time

10am at the latest.  And on an organisational front, we would really appreciate it if you could respect that.  Thank you!

Late arrivals

For any unarranged arrivals after 7pm, please be aware that you may be refused entry to the house.  Subsequently, your booking will be treated as a late cancellation with no possibility to re-let.

WI-FI

Free and password protected. We make every effort to ensure a good connection but please be aware that we are in the countryside and fiber-optic is not available to us, so the speed is not very high but good enough for most surfing.   All surfing needs to respect French Law.

your reservation

We respectfully remind guests that a reservation constitutes a contract between you and La Belle Demeure. In the event of cancellations, alterations or reduction of numbers by the client, we will undertake to mitigate our losses and to re-let the room at similar rates.

The Guest will be responsible for the loss incurred by La Belle Demeure in the event that rooms remain unoccupied, or are occupied at a lower rate than was originally booked. The cancellation charges imposed by La Belle Demeure will therefore reflect the any loss.

A Confirmed booking, which is subsequently postponed, may be treated as a cancellation.

We will ask you for ‘Arrhes’ at the time of booking, equating to 50% of the accommodation part of your stay.

If you need to cancel more than 6 weeks prior to your arrival date, refund your deposit ‘arrhes’, we will levy a 15€ administration fee (plus any PayPal/Bank/Exchange rate fluctuations). We will keep any prepayment made if you cancel less than 3 weeks prior to your arrival.

If you need to cancel 3 weeks or less prior to your arrival date, we will ask you to settle the remaining 50% of your projected stay.  For any large or long-stay bookings, different conditions apply regarding pre-payment.  This also applies if you need to shorten your stay once you have arrived, for whatever reason.  

For peace of mind, we strongly recommend that you take out holiday insurance while you are away from home.
