We stayed at French Fields for a one night break away from our children. The host was charming and helpful. Our self contained suite was everything that could be needed from one to several days. I enjoyed using the slipper bath looking out over lavender fields.

We spent two wonderful nights with Ruth and Barry in one of their amazing guest rooms. Our room was in a building adjacent to their house, and so is very private. The decor and setting speak of Provence, but Ruth and Barry's hospitality is genuine kiwi. Our room was impeccable and had everything to maximize comfort. I asked Ruth how... More

Blink here and you will surely believe that you are in Provence - fresh lavender fields, a perfect Provence farm house and the truly exquisite Maison Lavande the French style Gite situated directly next door to the Main house. Every detail here has been very thoughtfully put together with great style and élan. Ruth and Barry were the consummate hosts,... More

Two nights at French Fields is a little trip to Heaven-Ruth and Barry transport their guests to a lavendar farm in Provence with beautiful food,stunning rooms and good company.The perfume arising from the lavender field is wonderful and the accomodation so close to the vineyards is just perfect.

What a wonderful start to our holidays! We stayed at French Fields 2 nights and didn't want to leave. Ruth and Barry are wonderful hosts and their home is simply stunning. Set amongst the lavender it truly resembles a French Provincial home. The two guests bedrooms are totally private with their own entrances separate from the main house and balconies... More

This place is amazing, we increased our stay from 3 to 4 nights it was so good. Fabulous weather, goreous set-up and the best hosts at a B&B hands down. Ruth and Barry are both fantastic - interesting to talk to with fabulous stories and they have the blend just right of 'there when you need them but not around... More

Where do I start? French Fields was something that we stumbled across on the Internet and although they didn't have many photos on their website, we decided to go for it and see for ourselves. The fact that they had a great 2-for-1 offer was also a selling point! When we got there, we could not believe our eyes... A... More

French Fields recently opened for guests and we were one of the first to sign their guestbook ... I cannot say enough good things about our stay. First, the room itself, the Petite Maison, was lovely and our hosts' attention to detail was obvious. The room is spacious, comfortable and the kitchenette was well-stocked with all essentials. The bathroom was... More
