“A charming traditional, independent hotel. Very relaxed with fabulous food. Apart from maybe going to the Terrace Bar ac”
The location in the gorgeous Angles sur L’Anglin was just perfect. It’s a traditional Relais and we loved it because of that. The owner takes immense pride in the property. We ate in the hotel all three nights and the food and wine were really excellent. The fact that we were able to have such lovely meals and a few glasses of wine and didn’t have to get in the car or do that endless search to find something else was just what we were looking for. Whilst we normally are a bit more adventurous preferring to eat at different restaurants, we really didn’t feel the need. We sampled pretty much everything on the short menu during our stay and it was fantastic. Including one of The best confit of duck I have ever had and a wonderful baked peach dish with sorbet that was just sublime. The owner is extremely knowledgeable about his wine and recommended some lovely pairings. Our room was traditionally decorated and the shower - whilst not exactly modern had fantastic water pressure and gave a full on power shower experience. The bathroom otherwise was very well equipped with a heated mirror, magnifying mirror, hairdryer and complimentary soap and body wash. The towels were changed every day and a turn down service every day as well. A very relaxed courtyard perfect for a little aperitif, or to sit in and chill with a good book or a game of backgammon. The owner’s very friendly dog made his presence known - my only tip - don’t throw the stick as he will want you to play with him over and over again!

“A lovely hotel, very welcoming in a beautiful village”
Beautiful traditional French property in the heart of the village. A massive added bonus was “Gitto” the wonderful border collie that welcomed us and remained our friend throughout our stay! We had dinner at the hotel, on the sunny terrace outside the hotel - a lovely spot to enjoy French cuisine!

This is a hidden gem, I previously knew it was here and had visited the village before but never stayed until now and it didn't disappoint me, lots of character and charm and the village which is on a hill is picturesque. The hotel restaurant was very nice, good wine list and food,some local. I had made a special food request which they did make, it was no trouble. I would happily come again especially for dinner, real French cuisine.
