Manoir de Malagorse
Cuzance, Dordogne
Good Hotel Guide Review
In the rolling hills of the Lot, this 19th-century manor house, approached by a long and narrow country road, has been turned by Abel and Anna Congratel into a chambres d”hôtes. They are very welcoming, say the nominators; the house is “comfortable and well appointed” and “service is second to none”. He, the chef, is French; she is English and a qualified physiotherapist (aromatherapy and massages are available to guests). The emphasis is on food and wine: gastronomic weekends and “laid-back” cookery courses are held. Dinner, booked in advance, might include foie gras poêlé aux figues; parmentier de confit de canard; petite tarte Tatin. An aperitif and wine are included. Meals are taken in ther dining room or on a panoramic terrace. Breakfast has fresh orange juice, home-made jams and yogurts. The bedrooms, all different (you can study them on the website), have rustic furniture and wooden beams. Children are warmly welcomed.

Other reviews
We couldn't find anything at all to criticise about this hotel in the centre of some of the most beautiful countryside in France. We had an excellent room in one the barns with sitting room and two bathrooms, plus terrace overlooking lawns and swimming pool. Not cheap but well worth paying up for. Other guests told us the rooms in the house are also very good and less expensive! Dinner was served in front of the main house and was a real joy. Fixed menu and very, very good food. Anna and Abel are especially talented in looking after their guests
