The staff are welcoming and attentive, I attempted to speak French and when in difficulty found English understood by several staff members. The food & drink quality cannot be faulted, the room and communal areas very clean, WiFi works well :)) On the downside, the bath has a tap with shower attachment but no shower curtain, water inevitably splashes into the bathroom and makes the floor slippy. There was a problem with the bill, additional alcoholic drinks we had not consumed, check your bill carefully. Overall a good experience, the location is perfect for us for a stopover near the autoroute de Soleil.

Beware of a rude staff member!

Good stop over hotel in a relaxed location. Almost excellent stay were it not for an extremely rude and arrogant member of staff who claimed, and worryingly may have been, the hotel manager. Would I stay here again... I'm not so sure after that experience!

Beautiful suite

Beautiful suite overlooking a lovely garden. Very warm welcome. Very good value. Excellent breakfast. Very attentive hosts without being overbearing. As we arrived on a Sunday evening and restaurants were closed, they made us a lovely meal which we ate out on the terrace. We can thoroughly recommend this chambre d'hote.

They insisted that I had not paid for the hotel with Expedia. I had to pay them for the room that I had already paid for. Now the problem is .....How do I get my money back? I should not have to pay twice for a room.

Meget tiltalende sted, som absolutt kan anbefales. Hyggelig betjening. Hadde kontakt på telefon angående kveldsmat, og fikk opplyst at vi kunne spise i bistroen. Det ble ikke opplyst at det eneste som kunne brstilles var en dagsmeny med tre retter, og ikke fritt valg fra menyen som vi fant på nettet.

Séjour

Une nuit dans le cadre d'une halte sur notre trajet. L'établissement est tres beau. Les chambres sont cependant petites, l'isolation sonore est catastrophique que ce soit de l'extérieur (côté route, fenetre en simple vitrage...) également côté couloir. L'acceuil est agréable, le personnel est serviable. Le petit déjeuner est quant à lui très minime pour le prix de 15€, passez votre chemin et privilégiez la boulangerie du coin.
