Charming bed and breakfast with table d’hôtes
in southern Ardèche
You are here on the recent version of our website but the old one, often appreciated by our guests, is still accessible online (on PC or Tablet) at the following address: www.chambres-d-hotes-ardeche.fr
This year we are also offering for rental, in addition to our guest rooms,
a large gîte (2 bedrooms), in fact a holiday home,
in a new restored part of the farmhouse. http://mas-ardeche.com/
Call for solidarity
To this day, the environment of our farmhouse is threatened because the surrounding hill has been put up for sale on more than 8ha. As we do not have the means to buy, we have just launched a subscription (crowdfunding) hoping to raise some of the necessary funds. You can access it here: https://www.kocoriko.fr/fr/projects/preserver-le-mas-d-issoire
Thank you in advance for your possible support
Purchasers in 1975 of part of a 17th century hamlet, at the time completely in ruins, we undertook its restoration. In 1995 we decided, to finance it, to create guest rooms there, an emerging activity at the time, therefore rare and attractive in many aspects…And we opened the first two in the year 2000! Gradually we added two others then, over the last ten years, we undertook the rehabilitation of the last part, almost non-existent, of which we made a 120 m2 accommodation on two levels.
Looking back, there is no regret for this initial, impulsive and somewhat daring choice, as it gave so much meaning to our lives. Because it is true that few other activities, better than this one, combine material security and richness of encounters!
Which bed and breakfast…?
We are not tourism professionals and our Bed and Breakfast in Ardèche is not a hotel. It is above all (and for a very long time) our place of life! The decision to create guest rooms there was not taken with a sole commercial aim but also motivated by a desire to meet and share… And after 20 years this adventure still remains a great source of pleasure and happiness of life! Lovers of Anglo-Saxon Bed & Breakfasts and Guest-Houses, we try to preserve their original spirit. Our guests are not (at least we hope…) simple consumer tenants so we try to ensure that they feel both free and welcomed like family.
We also offer a table d’hôtes, by reservation only.

Located 10 km from the Pont d’Arc and the Gorges de l’Ardèche, the Aven d’Orgnac and the Grotte-Chauvet 2, and recently next to the Anselm Kiefer Foundation, our four rooms and, now , the large gîte are particularly suitable for coming (or returning) to southern Ardèche. In addition, their natural setting (away from the major summer agitations) is particularly protected and very peaceful. The whole overlooks a garden, all the rooms, as well as the gîte, have adjoining terraces.

The garden
On its entire south-west facade the farmhouse dominates a large garden, as spontaneous as it is exuberant, extended by a large preserved natural area, a popular refuge for many species of birds (nightingales, orioles, European bee-eaters, falcons, etc. ) and still wild fauna and flora.
It is a place of rare calm, ideal for rest and relaxation.
