About Your Hosts
Tom and Sue Jones lived in the Northumbria National Park in North East England before moving to France. Sue ran a 4 Crown, Highly Commended Bed and Breakfast and Self-catering business for 15 years and Tom followed his own career as an Engineer.
When Tom retired they moved to the Dordogne, France in May 1995 and Sue went into semi-retirement! They bought an existing self-catering business at Le Brandau, Carsac de Gurson, with 2 properties to let and both were awarded France One Call's 5 Globes Highly Commended.
Le Brandau is only 7 kilometres from Le Roc Nord, so guests can be assured that a wealth of knowledge about the area, where to eat and most importantly where to buy your wine is available if required.
As Tom and Sue now live in the converted barn at Le Roc Nord, they are discreetly on hand to clean the pool, look after the garden and help in any way that they can. Tom will supply you with tomatoes, courgettes, herbs, etc. from his vegetable garden when in season.
