We have been working with Aude & her team for 5 years now and are very happy with all aspects. It is family run and has great reviews on Trip Advisor where it has achieved a Certificate of Excellence and we know that Aude and her team will look after our guests during their stay. If you have any issues at the hotel please go directly to Aude or one of her staff team so that they have an opportunity to resolve things for you. Aude speaks perfect English and the front of house team speak enough to deal with day to day questions, if you don’t speak any French. If you do speak some French....great!

Can you please ensure you have let us know if you have any food allergies or dietary needs I don’t know about yet so that I can pass this information on to the hotel.
