“Very spacious rooms with an excellent fine-dining restaurant in a good central location.”
Very large and comfortable bedroom with all the facilities you need Including a full couch / lounge area. The restaurant was excellent. A true fine-dining experience. Food was faultless as was the service. Lovely intimate lounge area near the bar. Due to weather at the time we couldn’t use the outdoor spaces but could see that they would be a lovely environment for eating outside and with the benefit of a pool. The location is in the heart of the town with access to all that it offers.

Excellent accommodation, tastefully decorated and comfortable. Extremely quiet as facing the garden. Ideal for a longer stay. (Room 10). A very obligeing management team finding a safe place to store our bicycles. An opportunity to sample excellent and orginal cuisine, (which is getting rarer nowadays, even in France!) prepared with local produce. A friendly but very professional and efficient team contributed to enhancing the enjoyment of our stay, making it memorable. Thank you.

“Lovely hotel, lovely food, pool and garden!”
This was our second stay as we had enjoyed this beautiful hotel so much the year before. Lovely big bedroom overlooking the quiet street, fabulous pool and a beautiful big garden going down to a little river. Dinner is the full works with lots of interesting dishes and amuse bouche etc. This tile we ate inside as it was too cool for the lovely terrace. However, the dining room is a treat in itself as it has modern painted panels on the ceiling and is light. airy and really quite stunning. Breakfast was also lovely.

“A great start and end to our holiday.”
There was not much to see in the village but we stayed here on the way to and from our holiday destination and the hotel worked perfectly for us. The rooms were lovely, the service friendly and efficient and the food was delicious. It didn't feel like just somewhere to break the journey; it felt like part of our holiday.
