We're finally back on the market after a year or so of works. Thinking about letting a few 'friends & family' weeks this summer. Give me a shout if interested: [email protected]

After remodelling this past year, I'm letting La Plissonnais out again for a limited run of three weeks (well, four, but one's already gone) this August (10th-17th, 17th-24th, 24th-31st). The 'rack rate' is €2,480/week, but I'm offering between 30% and 50% discount to 'friends and family' (including past guests). We're back to six bedrooms (sleeps 16, the maximum now allowed post-pandemic), but retained the new huge dining room.

The ABnB listing is just going through some updates, but is included here for info/reminder.

After over a decade relying on AirBnB, I always try to show solidarity with my fellow hosts, especially when they are an old friend. Anyone looking for a chic homestay in Highland Perthshire, Scotland should look up Catherine.

Après plus d'une décennie à compter sur AirBnB, j'essaie toujours de faire preuve de solidarité avec mes collègues hôtes, surtout lorsqu'il s'agit d'une vieille amie. Quiconque recherche une famille d'accueil chic dans les Highlands du Perthshire, en Écosse, devrait rechercher Catherine.

Home from home. Experience Highland Perthshire!

Talk about pent-up demand! La Plissonnais has been closed since December 2022 while we complete the works and remodelling. I briefly re-opened for 19 minutes this morning and got three enquiries.

The old girl's still got it.

The exciting news in the bubbling metropolis of Les Loges-Marchis is that the new street address system has been rolled out! We are no longer merely a place name with a long history and tradition attached, we are now, as we all strive to be, just a number. At least DPD might be able to find the place now.

So they've named the road we're on 'Rue du Jadet' after the farm next door. It runs from their crossroads down to the water mill by the bridge. There are consequently nine houses on it. Three at Le Jadet, three at La Grossetiere just down the hill, us, and the mill and millpond farmhouse. Nine houses. Which is why we are now "952, Rue du Jadet", obviously.

Objectively hilarious.

Thanks to some upheaval and delay, we have decided to re-list again this summer, just for the 9 peak-season weeks of July and August. Contact Jon directly here if you're interested - rate is €2,495/week direct, or €2,925/week via Holiday Lettings/TripAdvisor. Excuse the old photos, new ones have been uploaded, but for some reason aren't showing up just yet.

It's all gone a bit Repair Shop. A few rainy and blustery days this week has allowed me to complete a project I had planned to do years ago - refinishing the well-loved and slightly tired old oak dining table.

Purchased in the 1930s in Manchester, and beloved of four generations of (especially Christmas) memories the massive table is part of what makes La Plissonnais so convivial for large groups.

It looks almost as good as new, even if I do say so myself.

One of the few benefits of being in mothballs for the whole winter is a certain amount of 're-wilding'. This evening, this little th*****me of Roe Deer came practically to my door.

Wishing you all a very happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

As custodians of this beautiful spot for what has now been 30 years, we feel we have a duty to pass La Plissonnais on to people who will love her as much as we have. So we're still holding the door ajar for our preferred buyers into the New Year, and so hopefully we will have some good news to share in 2023!

C'est tout!

Sadly we have taken the decision that without Jon here, opening up La Plissonnais for even another winter or spring season simply isn't worth the hassle. Hopefully she will have new custodians before long.

So our last day has been spent tackling some of the less-well-loved corners of the property - finally repairing the end wall to the semi-outdoor smoking area outside the dining room back door, and installing a ceiling fan.

There's just time to batten down the hatches and have a croque monsieur before we wing our way back to Blighty 😪
