This is a beautiful well kept property with extraordinary hospitality extended by the Proprietor Alain and his wife and son and staff. They offer a very traditional French experience, from the accommodation to the aperitif to the petit dejeuner. It was magnificent and we cannot wait to visit again. We wouldn't change a thing about this hotel or this visit!

Friendly and well-run hotel.

Gorgeous little hotel but the pipes made some noise. Just outside the town but not secluded. Simple but gorgeous breakfast.

Great value but needs tlc

Great hotel and new owners took over in April. It's a bit dated and needs some tlc but I'm sure new owners will sort. Only negative is the wi_fi it's only about .5 Mb so very poor

Séjour très agréable dans un hôtel très bien tenu.

Un séjour avec 2 nuits très agréable et reposant après un petit périple à vélo. Accueil très sympathique et efficace. La chambre était particulièrement agréable et la piscine est un plus. Toute la déco est très sympa. Nous y retournerons avec plaisir si l'occasion s'en présente.
