    The 4.30pm check in time was a bit late for us but if I had read the booking details carefully enough I would have known this was the case.

    My wife is disabled and the room we had on the ground floor was absolutely perfect for us - in fact it was exceptional.

    The wifi was slow and intermittent, perhaps due to our room being on the top floor?

    Location was excellent and the host very friendly and accommodating in spite of the fact that we were the only guests on the first night of our stay. The restaurant was closed but we were warned in advance so it wasn't a problem.

    The host of the property lacked any personality and was extremely difficult to strike up a conversation. Seemed to lack interest in things.

    Breakfast was okay, nothing really to rave about.

    We were told we couldn't check-in until 4.30pm. We arrived just after this time with one other couple (we were the only residents). It appeared that the receptionist (who doubled as waiter & barman - was the only member of staff, apart from the chef) & he had only just arrived at the hotel. He asked what time we wanted dinner, I said 7.30pm, he encouraged me to come at 7pm, but we sat down around 7.20pm. He showed us to our rooms, well he showed us through the door of the building the rooms were in and pointed us up the stairs to the direction of our rooms which were unlocked. Dinner was nice, but we felt the service was brisk and our waiter/receptionist/barman wanted to go home. We asked to pay the bill that evening as we were leaving at 8am the next morning. He told us to leave the keys on the reception desk as he may be there. We went to our rooms and by 9.30pm our toilet wouldn't flush. The cistern kept filling and wouldn't stop. My husband went to tell the receptionist/waiter/barman but the reception area was locked up and all the lights were turned off. We were very surprised that not one member of staff was on duty to help at such an early hour. Although it was extremely inconvenient that our toilet didn't work, we were lucky as we could use the toilet in our son's room downstairs, however if there had been an emergency there would have been no hotel staff there to assist and I think this is very poor and really quite concerning. When we left the next morning, the receptionist/waiter/barman had just arrived. We told him about the toilet, but he did not seem unduly concerned.

    Only possible extra might be air conditioning (it was a very hot day when we visited). However with an effective fan we were cool enough overnight.

    Beautiful rooms and facilities in a tastefully restored house. Bar and food were excellent with well chosen local wines and knowledgeable owner

    Imagine staying in an authentic French home in an idyllic historical village location which is silent at night and you have it all here. If you want a modern hotel with 24hr service then don’t come here but if you want a special unique experience that still has modern sanitary wear and personalised service and food then do visit.

    We were very happy with our stay; no negative comments

    The location was perfect. The courtyard parking was secure, and we could have had pre-dinner drinks on a small terrace outside our room. The room was characterful, clean and comfortable. Dinner was very good, as was breakfast the next day.

    The owner could've been more pleasant and more welcoming. A major downside to this marvellous property. As he was very much like (without saying it), well, don't/didn't you know that!? The room was OK but nothing outstanding. My partner and I always give generous and very fair reviews, and this is our overall opinion on this hotel.

    Traditionally French and with a light and airy feeling - very pleasant! Parking was good and secure, and the hotel had good facilities overall.

    The towels were very small and the room a little cramped. But we didn't mind but want to point out for others. We would have liked to have sat outside or in the window for dinner but the owner was put off by a very light rain shower that was disappointing.

    Loved the location, such a beautiful village and the hotel is quaint, french and full of character! It isn't luxurious but we loved the authentic feel. especially the view from the windows through the shutters across the courtyard.

    Pleasant hotel. Dead village.

    We stayed in a house in this village (two families with small kids) more than thirty years ago. In comparison the village has died with most shops closed. In the main square while there were tables and chairs there appeared to be no open café. While it is a lovely medieval village it appears to be preserved for day trippers. The only open café was overwhelmed at lunch time having to turn away customers. The markings for some of the walks need to be improved. We are experienced walkers in France and used to following way marks but still managed to go badly astray and had to use Google maps to resolve the issue.

    The hotel was pleasant with helpful staff. We had dinner on both nights and breakfast on both mornings all of which were good. The hotel has a very good local wine selection a sample of which we purchased on leaving. We were lucky that we decided to eat in the hotel as there appeared to be only one café/bar which served food and it may not have been open in the late evening. The Tourist Office was helpful in giving us details of walks in the area.

    The host didn’t seem to want to interact with us at all. As we read that he was knowledgeable about wines and enjoyed helping other guests with wine selection, we were quite surprised when we asked him to help us with our wine and he simply said, “red or white?”. He seemed to find us irritating and ended his conversations with us as quickly as possible. There was no warmth or feeling that we were welcome.

    Both the inn and the grounds are absolutely gorgeous and perfectly appointed property in a very pretty village. The other guests at the property were warm and friendly.
