Lovely small hotel in archetypal French village
Lovely small French village. Host was very helpful as restaurant was closed they prepared a meal just for us. Ideally located to split the journey down to the south of France.

very poor
I had to cancel the one night, as scheduled, in the afternoon of the booked night. They not only charged me one night but two. I had to call the hotel myself and they acknowledged the mistake but could not reimburse me on my credit card. It's beyond my comprehensions how the hotel can easily charge me an extra night by mistake but cannot reimburse me their mistake.

Located in a lovely quaint little French village. Very peaceful and relaxing. Food and drink served in a nice little restaurant just next door - dinner was very nice and good value. Room a bit small and internet went down when we were there. Otherwise no complaints

What a gem. We stayed for one night 2 Adults, 2 children and a dog. The room was lovely and pet friendly and opposite a park to walk the dog. The best thing about this hotel though is the food. It is excellent - really. My husband is a chef and could find no fault with anything. The menu was great for the children and the chef was friendly and kind. We like one of the cheese so much they gave us one to take home as a gift. Excellent

Stayed here one night en route from Dieppe to Spain. Quirky hotel off the beaten track. Hotel is situated on other side of road to restaurant. Comfortable enough for an overnight stay. Limited parking. Ate in the restaurant and the meal was one of the best I have ever had. ( NB. menu and service all in French). Reservation for evening meal recommended and this can be done via the hotel's website. However, the breakfast was extremely disappointing and certainly not worth the money. Would stay here again though.

An Architypical French Auberge
An excellent example of a traditional family-run French auberge. The restaurant was pleasantly full for Sunday evening dinner - mainly locals, plus 3 British couples, and the ambience was ideal. Menu choices were excellent, the cuisine superb, and the wine list well selected and reasonably priced. Very good value for money. The adman's dream for a SAGA advert.

Traditional village hotel & restaurant
Quiet small village hotel in the French countryside. Room & bathroom clean and fine for an overnight stay or couple of days. Restaurant extremely good value with tasty unpretentious food that we remember from many years ago, now sadly encountered less often in France.

Great Food!
Stopped off here on our way down to the Dordogne and was not disappointed. The staff were so welcoming and very helpful, and very understanding of us muddling through our french language skills. The room was very clean and a large family room, we were travelling with our 2 year old and it was perfect. The room was also a disabled room and everything in the hotel was accessible for those with additional needs. The food was also incredible. We ate in the restaurant in the evening and could not fault it at all, four courses for about €27 is amazing value and definitely got our holiday off to a good start! In comparison the breakfast was slightly underwhelming but I think we just arrived a little late. Overall, great little place, would definitely stay again and would recommend to all.

Not What We Expected
Looking at the favourable reviews of this hotel we decided to book it on our way to the Dordogne and also on our return. Upon arrival it we realised that this hotel was no where near as good as photos and reviews. We had our dog with us and our room was not very large and was extremely hot and stuffy, good job we had a fan with us to cool down the room. Staff were not that friendly or welcoming. Very disappointed with this hotel and immediately cancel our return booking, staying here once was more than enough. Would definitely not recommend and would never stay there again.

Loved this hotel, the people and area! Such nice people, food was amazing and we wished we would speak more French to chat. We got to the hotel late because of delays in Paris and were very tired but they looked after us well! Room was comfortable and clean, we would stay again.

Nice friendly hotel with a very good restaurant.
We only stayed overnight so maybe there was more leisure amenities in the area than we realised. It appeared (maybe unfairly) to be dead end village. No shops, no facilities.

WONDERFUL LITTLE FIND IN RURAL FRANCE.
Gorgeous little hotel with restaurant. Fantastic helpful owners, (speak french), really lovely and couldnt do enough for us. Our dogs wouldnt go up the steps to the room so they very graciously gave us ground floor room. Delicious food, gorgeous little bar with great beer. Just very helpful friendly owners, and the restaurant food was just gorgeous. I would absolutely stay here again. It was a wonderful little place off the beaten track, but well worth the 20 mins off the main A road. Would definitely recommend and would most definitely stay there again. Fabulous food. Great scenery, clean and tidy room.
Hello, Thank you for your comment, it always gives pleasure and allows us to improve, it will be a great pleasure to receive you again. All the team, Evelyne and Philippe.

A perfect stop over for our journey.
A lovely, quiet hotel for our first stop in France. We travelled over on the ferry to Caen, so not too long a journey, arriving before dark. A nice twin room in the courtyard. Very quiet. Next to the church, and the clock chimes hourly! Fortunately though, it stops chiming after 10pm, and doesn't resume until 8am!

Family run Auberge and restaurant.
This was our 2nd stop on our journey from Nimes to Roscoff. We were warmly welcomed by the owner and shown our room which was very well equipped and comfortable. We welcomed the tea/coffee and biscuit facility and the water in the mini bar. This auberge has rooms and an excellent restaurant where we dined very well that evening. Breakfast was also excellent.
