“Authentic French experience. Stunning countryside views from our room, charming quirky place. We lov”

Remote location was so beautiful

“Stepping back in time”

This is a treasure. A small hotel that might have been much the same fifty years ago (apart from the bedroom décor and the shower/ wc pod in each room). Run by a welcoming couple. A simple restaurant and bar.And so peaceful between the canal and the railway which only has a few trains passing each day. If one enjoys cycling, the cycleway along the Canal du Bercy is a joy. Worth more than an overnight stay.

“Everything about this hotel was amazing, we loved our stay here and will definitely be back next year.”

It was colourful, quirky, very clean, with a very comfortable bed, our evening meal and breakfast were delicious. Really good music in the bar and the owners were absolutely brilliant.

“Great location next to the canal, fun place to stay.”

Loved the quirky decor, nice restaurant, peaceful location next to the canal so ideal for an after dinner walk along the tow path.

“One of the best yet”

We have travelled and stayed throughout France numerous times and this was excellent especially the food.

Very friendly owners and great fish on the menu

“Lovely canal-side location, perfect stop en route to south western France”

Excellent location, staff lovely, food first class

“Perfect, just as described a lovely stay. Thank you!”

Wonderfully location, set on the banks of a canal overlooking fields. A typical french auberge thats beginning to get more difficult to find. Quirky interior, well equipped and with really helpful couple running it. Delicious and not expensive evening meal taken outside in the summer. Highly recommended.

“A tranquil stay in the heart of the French countryside.”

A genuine, family-run hotel with a bar and restaurant in the heart of the countryside. It’s colourful, quirky and comfortable and serves great food. This is our second visit.

remote rural very quiet auberge next to the canal was just magical. We fell asleep with the frogs singing and woke up with the coquerel. staff was super welcoming

“One-off hotel in great location with helpful, friendly hosts”

I arrived fairly late but the owners were quite happy to keep the bar and restaurant open until I'd been fed and watered. Food was good and room was excellent. nice place to stay off the beaten track but with easy access back to the motorway network. The outside dining room next to the Canal du Berry was a delight. Even made me a coffee prior to my early departure.

Quirkiness The Food, The owhers. Friendliness. Location

This must be the single best service experience we ever had in our life. 11/10

“Friendly welcome, nice quiet spot, but not far off the motorway.”

Friendly welcome, nice quiet spot, but not far off the motorway.

“Great stay near the highway”

Never ever I have been in a hotel with such a good music playlist, would come back just for that.

Big room, French styling, comfortable, three big windows. Location has that perfect quiet middle of no where quiet french village vibe where you can sleep with the windows open an hear basically nothing - this is impossible to find in England. Hotel was pleasant, clean and friendly. Nice deco also.

“A fairytale setting”

A fairytale setting beside the Canal de Berry enhanced by fairy lights amidst the foliage. Dinner on the terrasse, a delicious plate of charcuterie and salad and good wine (Medoc); listening to owls calling.

Took one look and found another hotel.
