One of the best and most memorable evening meals of our lives with two charming hosts. Loved the garden with lots of seating areas and a perfect evening dog stroll from the property. Delicious breakfast with many options

Le Cuisinier en Combraille is set in an idyllic location, nestled in the Auvergne countryside. It is a gorgeous house, much care taken to decorate and accessorise. Jacco and Cees are wonderful hosts, with great attention to detail and the food is fine dining at its best. 3 courses and a muse bouche! Totally delicious. Or bedroom and bed were very comfortable indeed and we had everything we needed and more. Thank you Jacco and Cees

Everything was great and worth another visit

We had a nice stay at the property which is in an idyllic and quiet setting in the Auvergne. The garden is full of flowers and plants and it was a delight to sit there and look out over the fields. The dinner was delicious and served on the cozy terrace. The owners were very pleasant, and they paused for a chat if one wanted to, but at the same time kept a discreet distance. The bedroom was tastefully decorated.

Situated in a quiet, verdant valley, this is wonderful escape. The property has beautifully kept gardens and a lovely covered terrace. Jacco's cooking is excellent and the breakfast is also far superior to most French B&Bs. Jacco and Cees are charming hosts. The rooms themselves are fairly small and being in the basement of the house are a little dark and have a very slight cellar scent. But they are well equipped and each has its own patio area.

Le Cuisinier en Combraille is a true jewel to be found in the French countryside. A heart warming welcome to a stunning house and gardens, the food exquisite, the attention to detail and all set in a rural and calming setting..When we visit the area again we will definitely stay again.

Nothing.

I stayed here for one night, travelling on my motorbike en route to Montpellier. Jakob went out of his way to offer me parking for my bike in his barn. Their house is a beautifully restored building in an idyllic, rural setting and they immediately made me feel at home. There's a lovely garden and the my loft room had superb views over the countryside. Dinner was made by Jakob and exceptional. Had I not had a long ride the next day I would have sampled some of Cees's excellent cellar.

Having to leave!

Exceptionql hosts, the warmest of welcomes, fabulous room, and glorious food, all in a lovely quiet rural location, with a delightful garden to explore. We had stayed once before, in 2019, and had been trying to create an opportunity to revisit ever since. We will not leave it so long after Neil the next visit!

The food is to die for ~ Michelin star dining without the price tab ~ I eat food I wouldn’t normal consider but it’s delicious my eyes are opened ~ it’s a real treat when we know we can stay and dine here.

This was our second stay at Le Cuisiner and it didn't disappoint. Jakob and Cees are such warm and welcoming hosts. The location is gorgeous, its idyllic, very tucked away and peaceful. Our room, a superior double with terrace leading into the beautiful garden was really lovely, comfortable and very spacious. We loved the painting of the cows! Dinner which was served outside on the deck (we stayed in August) was a highlight. Sadly we only stayed the one night as we were heading South but this is a perfect spot and a wonderful place to stay. We will definitely return and for longer next time.

Quite simply the best place to stay. We cannot possibly imagine anything better. Thanks Cees and Jakob!

Psst, don't tell anyone, I would like to keep it a secret place :-) - Truly a perfect piece of heaven! The room, the garden, the services, the incredible hosts, the food, the breakfast / dinner deck.... everything together makes for a such a wonderful relaxing place to stay in a beautiful part of France. I normally don't return to places as there is so much to see and experience in the world but this one.... Gents, we will back!

Nothing! A very enjoyable overnight stay on our way to Lyon.

Fabulous overnight stay in the country with kind and welcoming hosts. The dinner was superb and highly recommended. Thank you for the beautiful large room which opened out onto a gorgeous garden and had our own chairs, table and umbrella on the small terrace right outside our room.

What an amazing place. Everything about it, from the rooms, the gardens and the delicious meals, was incredibly beautiful and presented with a real sense of care and attention to detail. The whole experience is thanks to, and a reflection of the vision, talents and energy of Jacco and Cees, who make you feel welcome, special and lucky. Jacco's cooking is spectacular. It was a pleasure to meet them and a huge pleasure to stay there.

We would have liked to have stayed longer.

Extremely welcoming and relaxing environment. Beautiful informal gardens to enjoy. Homely but elegant French Country interiors. Location was quiet…. nearest village with facilities 10km away. Small number of guests made mealtimes quite homely … set evening menus were of excellent quality and thoroughly enjoyed (of course we were asked if we had any dietary requirements). A good choice of wines were offered. Breakfast had more choices from light continental to cooked… very fresh ingredients with homemade condiments. The hosts were very helpful and excellent with us as English speakers.

The property was completely charming tucked away outside the village of Vergheas with an exceptionally beautiful garden backing onto rolling hills.
