The Manoir is featured in Mr and Mrs Smith Coast and Country, and Alastair Sawday’s Special Places to Stay: Chateaux and Hotels (2008). In the four years of operation, it has built up an exceptionally loyal and discriminating database.
The Manoir is the subject of a new book being published which shows its beautiful location, with its own formal garden, lake, wood and meadows, surrounded on all sides by beautiful rolling views of the Tarn. The house has been widely featured in British and international magazines, including Homes and Gardens, Country Living and Conde Nast Traveller.
