WHO ARE WE?

Hi, I’m Matt…

…and I am having the time of my life doing all the things that I love; meeting people, cooking, cycling and travelling. 

Those who have stayed here will know that I travel a lot, during the winter months I tend to take off for a while to explore the far-flung, exotic parts of the world. 

I have been lucky enough to go to South & Central America where I trekked to Machu Picchu, watched the sunrise over the Mayan Temples of Tikal in Guatemala and paddled a dugout canoe down the Amazon. 

I have also cycled across Costa Rica, Sri Lanka, South Africa and Thailand. 

I have not made my mind up on where to go this winter but am considering trekking Mount Kilimanjaro or cycling from Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) to Singapore; it all depends on how this season goes. Hopefully, it will be another good year.

Over the last couple of years, I have been very busy not only with the B&B but with the renovations on the house next door. I am pleased to announce that having now finished the house next door, I have my own separate accommodation so the whole of number 5 is dedicated to our guests, giving them a private lounge and dining room, and also giving us the Red Room; a brand new letting room with bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Thank you to everyone who has stayed with us at Chaillac over the years, it has been a pleasure to meet you all. I look forward to meeting many more.

A tribute to bob

2004-2019

When I first started Chaillac B&B, I ran it with my best friend Bob. Bob was a Border Collie, and I rescued him after he was found abandoned in a car park. He was the heart of the B&B, guests would play ball with him for hours on end and anyone who gave him their empty yoghurt pot had a friend for life. Sadly Bob began to suffer badly with arthritis and was in a lot of pain, in September 2019 we had to say goodbye to him. He will never be forgotten and this website would not be complete without a tribute to him.
