Night away
Pros:

Really lovely room ( Junior suite), staff lovely , hotel Spotless and warm . Breakfast was one of the best 👌

Cons:

Bar food was not great . Very disappointed with serving portion .Asked for goats cheese salad ( I don't eat lettuce or leaves ) so when the portion was served it literally consisted of 6-7 cubed beetroot pieces, small portion of diced goats chose and 1 cherry tomatoe halved !!!!! I ended up.asking for w slices of brown bread .
My husbands chicken curry had more cauliflower in it than chicken and ,the chicken in it was stringy and fatty .
Disappointing. The bar food was the only thing I would rate poorly on our stay . We ended up going to Centra up the village for some a sandwich 🥪

Lieu cosy et plein de charme !
Pros:

L'emplacement au coeur du village, le charme du lieu et son histoire, les chambres spacieuses et pleine de charme. Nous avons été surclassés dans une suite junior avec lit baldaquin en bois.
L'hôtel à des petits salons avec cheminées pour se détendre, hyper cosy !
Le personne était très accueillant, le bar à une ambiance vraiment charmante...
Bref, nous recommandons !
