    The station bar/restaurant was closed with nowhere to eat or drink nearby on a Monday night. Very narrow/ steep stairs to the upstairs rooms.

    Location near to town centre was good with easy on street parking.

    If you find stairs difficult, ask for a ground floor room.

    Be aware that on Monday there are no restaurants open in Ste Foy and with a misunderstanding with our poor French, we missed dinner at the hotel. The stairs are a little narrow and worrying with luggage.

    Friendly welcome. Bikes stored safely. Large room looking over small garden, quiet street and (quiet) train station. Good dinner and wine on the Tuesday.

    The attached bar and restaurant were closed and looked as if they hadn’t opened for some time. This meant a walk out, not necessarily difficult, to find food for dinner. Would I have booked knowing this…..no

    The room was clean and airy the shower and bed comfortable. The location may put some off given the closed attached bar and restaurant

    Bar and restaurant were closed for some reason, plenty choices outside but it would have been nice to have been able to get a drink in the evening.

    family room was spacious and clean, consisted of 2 bedrooms one with the bathroom in it. Very nice

    I t was all good.

    Everything. Extraordinarily friendly and helpful proprietors, wonderful traditional French breakfasts, and a set menu for the evening meal which showcases the cuisine of the pays foyen. The location is perfect if you are arriving into Sainte Foy / Pineuilh later in the day. We just needed to walk across the road from the SNCF station.

    Lighting in the room was poor, not ceiling light only a lamp and a light over the sink. The hotel was closed when I got there with wooden barriers across the two entrances. Doors were locked and I had to telephone but the number given on the door was unobtainable. I knocked loudly on the door to get the attention of a young girl. Her mother then opened the door. There was no food being served that evening although it said on the Booking . com site that there was a restaurant. The nearest restaurant was about 500metres away. A simple continental breakfast was 8.50 Euros. I did not have it.

    The location and free public parking at the station across the road

    Very easy for visiting by train as it is very close to the station but we didn't hear any trains during our stay; it's a very peaceful location. The owners were lovely, really helpful, cooked us dinner as we were delayed arriving and everywhere was closed.

    That we didn't plan our itinerary better and couldn't stay for longer - the food looked really good!

    The location, for train travellers, was perfect - right next to the station yet on a quiet road. The hotel was spotless. It was packed with history and yet had all mod cons. The proprietors were warm and friendly.
