Great food and a warm welcome.

Me, my wife and our Irish Terrier stayed for a couple of nights in total. The location is great, the auberge is in a village which feels very secluded because of the surrounding forest but is in reality perfectly placed as a staging post to or from southern France. On both the outward and home legs of our drive we were warmly received, rapidly booked in and quickly settled into our comfortable rooms. On an after dinner stroll around the village we saw our first hedgehog in years! We have stayed before and will undoubtedly stay again.

A clean, simple Auberge serving excellent dinners.

Our room was clean and comfortable, with an excellent shower and washroom. The room was quiet and we slept well. Dinner was served in a charming patio area and the food was truly excellent!

Really charming old French feel.

Very nice and comfortable hotel, reason for rating was due to lack of AC in the rooms. It was our bad luck that landed us here on the hotest day in this region of france for >20 years. Parking was off road but a little hard to locate.

Disliked: Staff & service
Booking confirmation required us to check in before 18:00 hrs. Arrived at 16:30 hrs. - hotel closed, no one around, no notice on entrance door! Temperature 32 deg. C. Owner eventually arrived at 17:15 hrs. - no explanation, no apology. Would not return.

Welcoming and friendly

Had a great stay. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The room was fine and represented good value for moiney. Great location in the forest, full of wildlife and wild flowers. Very dog friendly. The food was excellent. A great traditional auberge with a wonderful atmosphere. We are sure to return and almost certainly for more than a one night break in our journey.

Comfortable hotel with great food

Dated but adequate

As first opinions are most important, I was very disappointed not to be offered any assistance with our cases. This was despite the fact that I obviously had a problem with walking and relied quite heavily on a stick. It was a struggle up the stairs and along the corridor to our room. The room was small but clean and comfortable. The small village was very pleasant, but the only restaurant has closed down. Luckily, this wasn't a problem, as the dinner in the auberge was excellent with service to match. This made up for the disappointing start to the stay.

Ideal & tranquil location.

Perfect oasis for overnight stay from South of France. Good menu & ambiance - perhaps just a little more expensive than most but good quality all round. Would recommend.

Uselful motorway stop

A typical French two star hotel, with an excellent restaurant. Located five minutes from junction 4 of the A20 motorway, this hotel is a convenient stop off when travelling through France. Room was spacious and, although a little dated, was perfectly fine.

Tete de Lard

Not a good start. No one answered hotel and had to call from our mobile to get doors open. Owner let us in in cardigan, vest and slippers? No food at hotel and no mention of alternative food source? Hardly welcoming...no wi-fi and generally NOT a good experience with noise from heating system keeping us awake much of the night!!!!Really unhappy at paying for this accommodation.

Superb overnight stop enroute to Marseille

Very good appointed room in a quiet village, even the church bells were silent during evening and night. Only regret we were not able to sample the chefs cooking this time. Will however make up for it next time. Realy enjoyed stay.

Good stay near Salbris, France

Room was spacious by French standards, but when we checked in there was no soap, and the toilet tissue was 2 almost used rolls. Downstairs at the bar, we got the distinct impression that the staff wanted to go home. (it was just 10:00 PM). They stood and stared at us, arms crossed, waiting for us to finish our drinks. Overall a decent place but hospitality was not its strong point.

Tres bon sejour

Tres bon séjour. Personnel tres agreable , souriant, accueillant et serviable. Auberge avec un joli cachet. Chambre douillette pour 3. Bien agencée. Le lit enfant a son propre espace, très apprécié ! Matelas et literie tres confortables. Très bon petit dejeuner dont viennoiseries et pain frais. Seul petit bémol il ne faudrait pas être trop grand pour cette chbre triple ; l'espace étant réduit à certains endroits par la hauteur des poutres, notamment dans la baignoire. En résumé nous reviendrons.

Superfijn hotel!

We hebben hier eerder een overnachting gehad. Nu op doorreis er voor gekozen om nog een overnachting te doen. Het is een hotel met ouderwetse gezelligheid. De mensen zijn bijzonder vriendelijk, het eten voortreffelijk en de kamers en bedden prima!!!
