Bed and Breakfast Description

Dormouse House is a gorgeous wooden house surrounded by verandas and vegetable & flower gardens. It offers total calm after a busy day out with the space, amenities and luxury one could not find in Paris at any price.

The leafy village has been a favorite retreat of wealthy Parisians for the last century; the poet Zola had his summer home near ours. The Yvelines are known as the 'lungs of Paris' due to its clean air & verdant nature; Louis XIV was born here and it is the home of Versailles, the Impressionists, Empress Eugenie & Dumas.

The House is filled with lovely antiques and exceptional art from all over the world, yet is designed for comfort. In the summer guests may breakfast on the terrace and in the winter take tea by the fireplace. The winter garden with a Jacuzzi is always an oasis.

Lisa is a professional cook/baker & French teacher; cooking classes are available. Lovely 3 course dinners are offered in the charming dining room.

Guests are pampered with the best linens, towels, strong hot showers, robes, heated towel bars, good reading lights & exceptionally comfortable beds & pillows - all the details that make a difference. Hot coffee & tea are offered as desired.

Children, when supervised, are welcome, as are pets by request. Women can expect a sympathetic welcome and will feel safe here. Rose suite has an ajoining single.

Our motto is 'kindness counts' and it ensures a pleasant stay at an intimate B&B for discerning guests.

Area Attractions and Activities:

There is too much to list!

Of course, we are at the doorstep of Paris with all the museums, sites, cathedrals, shopping, food, etc one could dream of, but we are also central to Versailles, Giverney (Monet's garden), Disneyland, many antique shops and fairs (such as the one at Chatou in Oct. and March), lots of recreational activities (golf, riding, boating, hiking, biking, etc) plus churches and villages to explore. Day trips are possible also to Chartres Cathedral, Rouen, the Normandy beaches and monuments, even Marseilles or Dijon(!) on the TGV with a rail pass.

Our guests choose to come here because they recognize that at Dormouse House they will have the absolute calm and comfort that will recharge them for a busy day in Paris...or at one of the many other places to explore in the area. They also appreciate the personal welcome by Lisa and Jack and our lovely 2 dogs, 2 cats, and hens! (Please see our reviews in Tripadvisor.com and/or at ibbp.com under int'l b&b pages)
