Bon accueil
Pros:

Le confort de la chambre et la proximitédu parking.
Un bon petit-déjeuner avant de repartir le lendemain, Direction Fromentine en Vendée.
La possibilité d'avoir notre minette avec nous qui a bien apprécié la halte après 6h de voiture.
On pense revenir pour le retour fin août ou début septembre on ne sait pas encore.

Cons:

Rien

Prima verblijf
Pros:

Zeer rustig gelegen, echt een wat ouder Frans hotel om te zien. De kamer was prima en het balkonnetje was wel lekker. De dame van het hotel was vriendelijk.

A good spot for a night stop while travelling.
Pros:

Quiet room, good size with a good shower. Unfortunately the chef had been taken ill that day and the restaurant was closed which meant a walk up the hill to another hotel/restaurant which was of questionable quality. The lady in charge was very nice though.

Cons:

The layout of the hotel was food and not well explained. My wife failed to find the bar, although I did with a bit more exploring! Restaurant closed due to chef sickness.
