IrelandIreland has a beauty which is intertwined with history, rich culture and the renowned friendliness of its people.   The wild craggy mountains, splendid lakes and sweeping coastline make it an ideal playground for water sport enthusiasts, walkers, cyclists, hikers, rock climbers and sailors. The famous Giant's Causeway is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, tightly packed basalt columns that run from the cliffs of the Antrim Plateau to the sea.It is thought the Giant's Causeway was created by volcanic eruptions and cooling lava but ancient legend believes it was the work of the giant Finn MacCool and legend says it was a pathway to Scotland where the giant lived.


The Ring of Kerry and the lakes of Killarney will offer you mountain landscapes,spectacular coastal scenery and ancient monuments.It is a breathtaking area where castles and historic houses are in abundance.The Cliffs of Moher are another spectacular coastal area where the cliffs fall away to the Atlantic.Dublin is a firm favourite with visitors it is an easy city to walk round or use one of the many bus tours.

Food and drink in Ireland go hand in hand with this countries unparalled hospitality .A full Irish breakfast generally consists of eggs,rashers (bacon),bangers(sausages),tomatoes,mushrooms,black pudding and bread or toast.In Northern Ireland a cooked breakfast is called an Ultster Fry and generally has the addition of fried potatoe farl (potatoe cakes).There is an abundance of seafood and fish on offer as well as classic dishes like Irish lamb stew.

Guinness is the drink of choice in Ireland and it would be a shame to leave without trying the dark velvety brew.Other noteworthy malt beverages include Smithwicks, Kilkenny, Murphy's and Beamish. There are lots of things to keep those after a dose of culture enthralled from oyster festivals to authentic horse fairs, and from ancient castles to elegant country houses, Ireland is packed with things to do and see.

Historic Ireland
Take a step back through time and discover historic Ireland - we've got amazing buildings and monuments just waiting to be explored as you learn more about Ireland's past and how it still influences the present.

Our castles and historic houses, heritage attractions and museums are the perfect places to visit for a family day out or a weekend break with friends.
Must-see historic highlights
Sights not to be missed include Newgrange (Bru na Boinne). Built around 3200BC, the UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the oldest astronomically aligned monuments in the world and puts on quite a show during the winter solstice.

Other must sees include the Ceide Fields, Dun Aengus, a prehistoric ring fort on Inis Mór in the Aran Islands, and the Hill of Tara – one of the Boyne Valley’s many treasures.

You’ll see historical evidence all around you – castles from Norman invasions, such as Kilkenny Castle; megalithic dolmens and tombs; Viking city walls at Waterford City, and history commemorated across Ireland's monuments and museums.

Berrychone Chambres d\'Hôtes

France
Argenton-sur-Creuse

Berrychone is an established Chambres d\'Hôtes/B and B, an old farmhouse built on the edge of Le Petit Vavre, a small hamlet of just twelve houses.  Berrychone was originally the mairie of Le Petit Vavre over three hundred years ago.  Indeed, when we were renovating the living-room, under several layers of wallpaper some as thin as cigarette paper, we found an old notice of a modification of a by-law dated 1816! Over the years it became a family farm and then was divided into two houses.  In fact, one of the local women who was born in this house, still lives in the hamlet!  In the mid 1900\'s it was converted back into one house and was used as a holiday home.  We have now finished the renovation and have tried to keep as many of the original features as possible, including the oak fireplace and tomette floor in the living room, the
oak beams and tomette floor in the kitchen and a host of other features in the rest of our home. This makes our home an ideal chambres d\'hôtes (bed & breakfast) and to make our guests really feel at home, we provide an \"en-famille\" atmosphere, in other words, during your stay with us you live as part of our family.  We ask guests not to spend an evening in their room, we prefer you to join us in our living room for conversation, music or even TV!  Tea and coffee are always \"on tap\", if you would like either please help yourself or if you ask really nicely one of us might make it for you!
Our house has central heating run by a wood burner.  The house is heated 24/7.  We are very warm in the winter, the bathroom is like a sauna with warm towels included. An absolute bonus for those who like home comforts. We also provide evening meals which are homemade.  We buy our eggs from the local farm, our meat from the local butcher, and most of the vegetables come from our garden, all organic.  All excess vegetables are bottled and the fruits are made into jams.  The bread is from our local baker who is in Bazaiges only 1,5km from our house.  In the summer we cycle to the bakery to get fresh bread and sweet breads for breakfast.  We have a spacious enough garden where you can have your meals outside of an evening.  Here you can enjoy peace and tranquility in a beautiful part of the Berry.
Berrychone is located in the south of the Indre county situated in the Centre region of France, close to Argenton-Sur-Creuse,Chateauroux, Bazaiges, Eguzon, Gargilesse, Lac Chambon, Limoges and The Brenne Natural Park and next to the Creuse county. We are only 2h1/2 from Paris and 5h from Dover. The A 20 is a free motorway from Paris-Toulouse and passes by Orleans, Vierzon and the famous Le Mans 24 hr circuit.  We are 1.5km off exit 19 on the A20 using the new straight through road.  The Berry area is abounding with places of interests, leisures and hobbies with its medieval towns, castles, dams, man made lakes to visit, open air activities such as water sports, hiking, fishing, archery, up-sailing, cycling and horse riding just to name a few. There is something to suit everybody of all ages from the very old to the very young.  We are surrounded by beautiful countryside, dales and rivers where nothing is rushed but everything is enjoyed in a most leisurely way. The winding roads, the cascades, the breath taking views and the never ending discoveries and leisures of the Berry makes it one the most enjoyable places to visit and stay.

We aim to provide an affordable family holiday where you can rest in peace and quiet with good food, rest and play.

Berrychone is the foremost family orientated B and B in the county.
