ABOUT THE OWNERS
Susie & James Wetton
We met when working in Ski resorts in the Haute Savoie, we had a dream many years ago to convert an old school house into a Chambres d’hôtes in the Corrèze – many years later we have made our dream a reality by opening Domaine du Pignoulet and renting the house out to families or groups. We have lived in London, Essex and Bedford since we married and have 2 grown up sons.
James worked in the city after a brief spell in the army and then completed 4 ski seasons working as a Chalet chef and Ski guide. Since our travels we returned to the UK to marry and have a family, James has worked in business since then, the accent has always been on Client development and working closely with people.
