I just returned from a 6-day SoulCollage(r) (expressive art) retreat at French House Party. Everything was wonderful! The house is spacious, airy, light, beautifully landscaped and decorated; the food was plentiful and excellent; the workshop was inspiring; and the group of 11 women was great. The weather was perfect and we ate our main meals out by the pool. The... More

This beautiful very spacious home set the scene for a wonderful weekend of food discovery and cooking. In this newly built and very well fitted out kitchen chef, Robert Abraham guided us to create traditional dishes such as fois gras but also dishes and tips that we are more likely to reproduce at home such as lamb, lemon meringue tart...

Creative Christmas presents are twice the fun - the excitement on Christmas morning followed by some months of anticipation did not disappoint - our acccomplished hostess Moira welcomed us with warmth and enthusiasm to a weekend where a disparate group from Ireland, Denmark, England, Australia and Scotland became friends under the expert, patient and charming tutelage of Robert Abraham and...

The welcome set the scene for the rest of the stay -- warm, friendly and Bill explained where we where and the history that went with it. Sarah's lessons weren't really lessons at all; she found ideas in your head and helped you to put them into words in a way that made sense. The rooms are comfortable, delightfully furnished... More

A holiday where you enjoy yourself fully and learn new things. Two wonderful chefs in John-Mark Boyer and Robert Abraham guiding us through many dishes I would never have had the confidence to attempt on my own. Nothing was wasted and my new presentation skills have been put to good use since returning home. Food I had not thought of... More

I can not recommend this course / experience enough!! The French house party gourmet explorer is fun, informative and authentically French. Having a combination of two top French chefs, Jean-marc Boyer and Robert Abraham to encourage, guide, teach and improve the whole groups cookery skills was amazing. There was ample opportunity to look, listen, smell, taste and practice as well... More

A great way to learn new skills in a fabulous setting. Although a small but 'select' group we enjoyed inspiring tuition from our master chef Robert who also took time out to take us to the local market to source produce for our cooking classes. .Great hosts, accommodation and attention to detail. Nothing was too much trouble. I ate too... More

I was a bit apprehensive at first since as I was going on my own. I was going with the sole intent of learning new cooking techniques as well as to learn how to run a B&B. What a role model Moira Martingale turned out to be! She was amazing when it came to attention to detail and organization! I... More

My third visit, another inspiring writing course with Sarah. This place is like a 5 star hotel in a beautiful converted farmhouse. Personal service by fabulous staff. Bedrooms outstanding in comfort, food and wine cooked and served with perfection.Just being there is a lovely experience.I want to go again, relax , chill out and soak up the French House Experience.
