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.

Charming spot. A little tough to find but once there we were made to feel very welcome. Room had everything we needed, and dinner at their Bistro was delish - we shared the trout.

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.

Immaculate and well appointed room. Excellent internet connection. Isolated location. Breakfast is expensive for what it is, and don't expect any help in carrying your luggage to your room.
