Pros:

This was a small, traditional French hotel in a sleepy town. We only stayed for 2 nights but it was comfortable, welcoming and tucked away just off of the main square.

Cons:

The town was a little too quiet but we were there on Sunday and Monday, when it appears many places shut down but we had a car so easily found where there was life!

A very unwelcome stay!
Pros:

The hotel was very clean and nice decor.

Cons:

A smile from the hostess would have made such a difference. We have never felt more unwelcome, treated us with such disrespect. No drinking water supplied and no hand soap. We had problems with the broken showerhead fitting that led to a bit of water leaking downstairs. We were told off and warned not to do it again! No one came to rectify the problem. There were no umbrellas provided to protect us from the sun in the scorching 38deg.C heat in the garden. We do not recommend this hotel.
