    • Luxury guest rooms, warm and friendly, near Sainte-Foy-la-Grande

      Welcome to Wayne and David's home , The Old Presbytery , a superb estate,  in Saint-André-et-Appelles , near Sainte-Foy-la-Grande , at the crossroads between the Dordogne , the Gironde and the Lot-et-Garonne . It is a charming guest house , all in stone that dates from the 18th century .  Perfect for a couple , who are looking for a luxury escape , or timeout to recharge your batteries and enjoy the place as much as the pleasure of being together. Wayne and David welcome you as guests, but above all as friends .


      A quiet stay or weekend, in an exceptional environment

      The grounds of The Old Presbytery are a place of peace and relaxation . Chillout in the shade of their 300 year old cedar trees, or swim in the  heated swimming pool , surrounded by a stone terrace where you can sunbath  on a beautiful sunny afternoon on comfy loungers.  Wayne and David are from London, and in 2021 they decided to settle in France, in Gironde, in this region which they appreciate and know well. They are located in the countryside, surrounded by orchards and vineyards, but close to interesting places to visit.  It's the perfect location for exploring the region and most of all enjoying life in the French countryside where they have created their Guest House, which is also their home.

      This change of life is an opportunity for them to put their hospitality into practice, because they enjoy meeting new people and sharing good times around a delicious meal.

       

      Guest rooms and a charming apartment, completely renovated and friendly

      You can stay in one of the 5 guest rooms , which are all equipped with a "super king size" bed and luxurious bed linen, for maximum comfort and space. The rooms are large and bright , they all have a large double French doors that opens to the outside so you can enjoy the best of indoor and outdoor living.  Each room has of course its own bathroom (with a complimentary amenities and towels ), and a private terrace to relax reading a book, having a drink or just admiring the view. There is excellent Wifi available for free in all the rooms,  throughout the house and around the pool.


      The Old Presbytery is a very environmentally friendly establishment, with each element taken into account to limit the impact of hotel and tourist activity on the environment. To help avoid single-use plastic, each guest is given an Old Presbytery water bottle that you can use to top up with free filtered still and sparkling tap water. And if you like the bottle, you can take it with you!  Solar panels have recently been installed on the roofs of their home, so from this summer all their electricity will be produced from solar energy. You will no doubt, appreciate the efforts that Wayne and David have gone too, to make your holiday as sustainable as possible.


      Every morning, a delicious breakfast will be offered to you, with an assortment of homemade and artisanal delicacies . Good bread (with a gluten-free choice), pastries, fruit, homemade granola by Wayne, boiled eggs along with Fairtrade teas and coffee.  It's a great way to start the day !

      The Old Presbytery also offers a self-contained apartment for rent. It is the same high quality as the guest rooms and has a kitchen and living room, ideal for guests who want their own independence. It is possible (with a supplement) to have breakfast every morning with the other guests if you would like.


      Your well-being is in good hands, come and enjoy the heated swimming pool, open every day until 10 p.m., it has a counter-current swimming machine so you can do a few breaststrokes to keep fit. Prefer to relax? Laze on the comfy sunbeds, lie on the grass or take a walk around the estate.


      If you prefer to workout, a heated fitness studio is at your disposal, it is bright and offers a relaxing view of an orchard. You can practice yoga or exercise on the padded sprung floor or enjoy a session in the infrared sauna for perfect muscle relaxation.


      Wayne and David offer you the use of four electric bikes . They are perfect for discovering the region without getting tired, bringing back small souvenirs or tasty treats.  The house is equipped with fast charging sockets (powered by solar of course) for electric vehiclesso you can recharge your car during your stay free of charge.

      Wayne and David will be happy to give you advice for walking, running,  kayaking and discovering the surrounding villages and castles and vineyards. The region is rich in history with lots of local activities and delicacies to discover: for local food products you must go to the superb Sainte-Foy-la-Grande market on Saturday morning to convince yourself of this !

      Are you tired after all these adventures? A comfortable games room with a billiard table,  television and even a karaoke machine is available for you to enjoy, although they don't supply earplugs !


      Delicious meals on site

      David gets into the kitchen and offers you a menu full of surprises made with quality local ingredients. He uses seasonal herbs and vegetables from the garden, that will delight his guests. It is necessary to book in advance because all the dishes are homemade and made to order. 

      On Sunday and Monday evenings they offer a communal dinner, with homemade pizza on Sunday night and Meatfree Monday the next night.  Dinner is served on a large communal table of 14 people on their outdoor terrace so you can enjoy the magnificent view ! It is a very pleasant experience where you can enjoy the conviviality of the other guests and your hosts.  A selection of wine is available to buy, straight from their personal cellar (the BatCave), with any meal order. During the rest of the week, a small range of homemade dishes are available that are cooked with love, with or without meat, made up of fresh and seasonal products.  


      The Old Presbytery is open from 27th April to the end of October. The establishment is reserved for people over 18 years old. You can bring your pet , David and Wayne have two friendly and playful dogs of their own. Enjoy your holidays !

    This place is absolutely breath taken! David and Wayne are fantastic hosts and run this place brilliantly. We felt relaxed the whole time we stayed with them and had full access to the pool, gym, kitchen, living space and snooker room. The wines they offer in the bat cave are sourced locally. They have electric bikes for you to use and a few vineyards near by for tours. Would highly recommend this place to stay and we will definitely be back.

    The house is located in a stunning historical setting, it is beautifully furnished and provides everything we needed. We enjoyed the swimming pool, which is very clean and pleasant, including the swimming motor. We enjoyed also our dinner there, watching the gorgeous sunset and the sweet potato curry made for us was really delicious! Most of all, the hospitality of Wayne and David is simply excellent! We will highly recommend Old Presbytery to our dear friends and family only (otherwise it will become too popular to book for ourselves next time😆).

    We had a wonderful stay at the old presbytery. Wayne and David are attentive hosts who really went above and beyond and made us feel instantly at home. The building has been beautifully renovated, and the rooms are comfortable and luxurious. The building is set in a truly stunning location and there are amazing views which contributed to the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere that Wayne & David have created. The breakfasts were super, we particularly liked the fresh croissants that were provided each day from the local bakery. We also enjoyed the homemade pizza that was made by David on Sunday night and recommend booking in for that. This also offered the opportunity to meet some of the other guests too. We found there was a nice sense of community with the other guests, whilst we also felt we had our privacy. Wayne & David provided us with some brilliant local restaurant and activity recommendations too, we particularly enjoyed kayaking. On site we also enjoyed the swimming pool and we made good use of the electric bikes too, which was a fun way to explore the local area. Wayne and David have created something very special and we can’t wait to visit again.
