Transport for up to seven guests (with clubs) to and from one or more of the surrounding courses can be supplied. If travelling by air, collection and delivery to or from either Bordeaux or Bergerac airports can be arranged together with your own clubs. Coming by train, Libourne is on the main TGV route from the Lille connection to London. It is easily reached in half a day.Guests will have comfortable and tastefully decorated rooms all with private bath/shower rooms. They can relax by the pool after a good day on the course, or sample a glass or three of one of the many local wines in the tasting room before sitting down to a delicious 4 or 5-course meal created by Lucie who owned and cooked at their Michelin, Egon Ronay, Good Food Guide accredited restaurant in Hampshire for twenty one years.
In addition, we are pleased to be able to offer the services of a fully-qualified beautician for those who want total pampering as they catch the rays on the terrace or by the pool.
With satellite reception guests can catch up on worldwide news or follow their favourite soap. Fast-link wi-fi internet connections and fax facilities are also at their disposal.
Should you wish to take a ramble through the vineyards, we can put one of our Citroen 2CVs at your disposal. It can be fitted with Satellite Navigation should you wish to have an itinerary set out for you, or not be bothered by checking cumbersome roadmaps. Alternatively, we can arrange wine-orientated tours to chateaux in the nearby growing areas of St Emilion, Sauternes, Graves and the Medoc.
We aim to generate an all-encompassing break for you and your friends where the accent is on convivial relaxation in the tranquil setting of our well maintained gardens and comfortable rooms. Also, we hope that to have our own 9-tee ‘chip ‘n putt’ practice ground here at Le Cros this summer.
Please contact us by email, telephone, fax …or, if in the locality, just drop in and enquire!
