    A hotel with something different to offer

    I think it was still early in the season, but the grounds had been left unmanaged and the outdoer tables weren't clean. That said I doubt they expected the sudden hot weekend we experienced. Maybe because of the Eco focus, but I was surprised for hotel to have a very limited Wine List (but it was good) and just one beer available.

    A beautiful building in a great setting, albeit with the front / reception on an N road. We had a garden Room so no noise and a great view. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly with a fantastic kitchen and restaurant.

    A gastronomic delight in an ideal location when driving through France - will certainly stay again

    There is a little bit of jaded charm about the rooms with a few fixtures and fittings needing maintenance, a rather old, small TV and it would have been nice to have coffee/tea making facilities in the room - this might be an issue for some guests. Access into the car park is quite tight so care needs to be taken but great to have on-site safe parking.

    Very old world charm with lovely polite and welcoming English speaking staff. Beautiful building with lots of character and felt very relaxed. Excellent stopping point on way back from Languedoc with an easy 4 hour run up to Caen the next day. Would recommend having the dinner at their restaurant - the food was superb and a great choice of wines - fabulous. Breakfast was all local organic produce but a little expensive.

    Room was situated beside a main road with HGV vehicles going past all night. Traffic lights near Hotel so people were looking in to our bedroom. Bathrooms not clean. Receptionist did not smile at all and was quiet rude when we came in through a garden door and not a front door?

    Garden was beautiful and food in restaurant which we had on the terrace in the garden served by a very friendly young efficient man.

    The bed was not at all comfortable as it was very hard. Not really an issue, but better lighting in the rooms would have been a bonus. In all although the hotel, staff, food and feel of the hotel were really lovely it could do with a little updating.

    This is a beautiful hotel with a really lovely pool. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The food was absolutely lovely. The whole place has a very relaxed and rustic feel. I would definitely stay again if I was traveling in this area.

    Room had not been cleaned during whole stay. Bins in room overflowing. In the high heat, with a baby and used nappies, the smell of rubbish was unpleasant. No clean towels provided. Bed not turned down. The stay was uncomfortable due to poor services. Which is a shame, as the hotel and gardens are beautiful Could not find staff members whom spoke English to raise concerns with.

    Beautiful hotel. Friendly staff on arrival.

    Lovely hotel marred by traffic noise in annexe room

    Our only problem was the noise in our Annexe room, which was right on the main road with trucks roaring past all night. If we had realised that we wouldn't be able to sleep, we would have booked a room looking over the garden or the village, and in that case, would probably be raving about the hotel. As it was, a sleepless night before a long drive rather soured our impression of an otherwise lovely place.

    We stayed here for one night en route for the ferry home. When we arrived, we walked through lovely gardens into a charming French house: it seemed a perfect place to stop and we were delighted with it. At dinner there was only a choice of two main dishes, but both were excellent. Breakfast, though limited for 15 euros, was also delicious.

    We had a room in the “annexe” which was tiny, unbearably hot, and had windows that opened straight onto a major truck thoroughfare that meant you couldn’t hear yourself speak if they were open. Thankfully when closed the room was quiet but I had to ask for a fan (even though it was stated as included in the room) and the room was still very stuffy and hot.

    The garden and pool were lovely and peaceful. The house looked nice from the outside. Restaurant on-site, meal was ok, not great. Staff were good. Breakfast was ok

    I paid for a garden room and for the price I would have expected better amenities. The table in the room resembled old garden furniture. The Tv didn’t work(it was plugged in!) The bed was a small double. Only one mirror in bathroom and not enough light to put on makeup. Shower gel had almost run out so had to use sparingly. The evening meal was very good, however served in a courtyard covered in plastic panels, so no atmosphere. Napkins were paper, tablecloths a woven plastic. There was a large cobweb hanging from the ceiling! Food good but not gourmet restaurant. Breakfast 15 euros each but extremely basic, just bread, croissants, jam , I had to ask for a yoghurt, no sliced cheese or meat which is usual in French hotels.

    The garden and pool were excellent . Evening meal was good.
