We, Erik and Rochelle, have been the proud owners of La Mothaye since the spring of 2011. We immediately fell in love with its beauty, charm and peaceful surroundings. We opened in 2012. We started as a B&B, but now all rooms are with a kitchen and have dining facilities so they are self-catering. We are Dutch family of five, including our children Mats (18), Tijn (15) and June (13) and since beginning 2014 we live in France. We offer you our hospitality, our knowledge of the area and a truly unforgettable stay at our castle. We speak English, French, German and Dutch. Welcome to our home, welcome to La Mothaye.
