I have traveled to all 50 states and all 7 continents. I regularly stay in B&Bs along with historic hotels. Bocage surpassed my expectations for a B&B. As we were approaching Bocage, down the road at Houmas House there was a traffic jam in the parking lot....not the reason I came to Darrow, LA from Chicago! I was nervous as... More

We had a great anniversary evening at Bocage, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was a great way to relax in the afternoon, head down to Houmas House for dinner, and then come back to our planatation home that evening. The best part was it felt like a vacation, but we were home in 20 minutes the next day. If... More

I was not impressed with this so call plantation tour. The guide did not make the tour interesting, the furniture was not of the original house. It just wasn't worth the money or time spent...Now the Houma house plantation down the road is well worth it... More

Our stay at Bocage was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and not just another B&B. The service is outstanding and so very personalized. The plantation and setting is incredibly beautiful and the antique decor is breathtaking. The ONLY place you can stay that is an authentic setting with no roped off areas, no touristy restaurants and gift shops. It is truly stepping... More

From a historical as well as place to stay, this was a wonderful experience, and similar to some of the other excellent plantations that we have stayed at. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The room was great, as was the service and breakfast. Our only reason for a very good rather than excellent was no dinner service on-site.... More

We toured 9 different plantations, staying at Oak Alley, Maywood, Nottaway and Bocage. Without a doubt, Bocage was our favorite! We are so glad it was our last night because it became a fabulous finale to our trip. Had we known how wonderful Bocage was, we would have spent our entire 4 nights there instead of splitting them up. We... More

We stayed at Oak Alley, Notttoway, and Bocage; Bocage was definitely our favorite. The home has been tastefully restored. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, the room exceptionally clean, and the service remarkable. Justin and Igor made sure that our every need was met. Concerning the home, we thought the tour was the most enjoyable tour of all the plantation homes... More

Very nice the new owner has done wonders with this place. Cant wait until the landscaping he's investing in matures. That was really my only gripe. The tour was fun. More
