Introduction
LA FERME DE TAYAC offers accommodation in a private house as a Bed & Breakfast. Pleas bear in mind: we are not a hotel.
You will surely enjoy the small number of rooms and the high number of additional services which are hardly to find in other B&B`s.
​
The Rooms
The cosy decorated bedrooms at LA FERME DE TAYAC offer double beds at maximum for 2 (two) persons. Two rooms are changeable to twin beds.
All bedrooms are equipped with en-suite bathrooms which means they all have a private shower, wash basin and toilet in the bedroom.
All rooms are equipped with bed linen and towels.
The rooms are at maximum for two (2) persons only (children or adults). In some rooms a folding baby bed could be placed. One baby bed (only) can be made available for one (1) child up to 1,5years old. This is only valid on prior agreement.
Any undeclared person (child, adult) will be refused. In this case and if there is still a room available for the booked period, we might propose it as additional room for the person not declared by booking. The price of this room will come with the standard rate.
In case of agreement, the full balance of your stay will have to be paid immediately.
If you disagree, we will not be able to accommodate you at LA FERME DE TAYAC, the balance will be due immediately and your deposit will be lost.
Please do not eat in the rooms. You will find enough places to have a meal in the two lounges in the house and in the garden. Please note that guests are paying for any damage they cause.

Earlier arrival is generally not possible. If you need to arrive later, please let us know. If we are not informed in advance of your arrival later than 7pm, we cannot guarantee our availability.

Room and Building Facilities
For any inconvenience related to your room and equipment in and around the house we thank you for letting us know as soon as possible.
It is common sense that any damage caused to the rooms, its objects and equipment or/and the property will be paid for in full by the tenant. This can be amongst others any breakages, stains, spillages, damage to furniture or fixtures and fittings. You are asked to address any damages and report it as soon as possible to minimise damage and associated costs.
Some of the furnishings are very old, valuable and partly non-replaceable items such as furniture, lamps, crockery, etc. In case of damage, you are obliged to pay the financial value for the replacement in this or at least similar form and age before your departure. Please note that in some cases this may involve several items, even if they are not damaged, if they form an ensemble. This is the case, for example, with crockery and pairs of lamps.
Please inform us immediately of any damage before your departure. If we have to discover them ourselves after your departure, we will charge an additional amount of 100€ for the cost of replacement.
The easiest way is to avoid the damage and to be very respectful of our facilities.

The pool is equipped with an alarm system, which you can deactivate with the code you receive from us. Any manipulation other than the use of the code is strictly prohibited. In the event of an offence, you will lose the right to stay in our hotel.
The alarm system emits a loud, repetitive acoustic signal in the event that a person is in the pool without having entered the code. Please note that this signal only has a certain strength and its audible range can vary due to wind, etc. A signal can mean that a person needs help. Please react appropriately in the event of a signal. Thank you very much.
