onsite farm restaurant cute staff english assistance unmatching room price increase empty reception
the hotel includes a farm and a restaurant on its hotel. this detail adds to its charm. the staff were cute. everyone helped us in english, even though it is a rural french location.
i was given a room and it did not look like the rooms in the photos. to switch for a better room, the price increased considerably. there was no one waiting in the reception area.

charming countryside stay!

fabulous restaurant equipped room wild birds
The restaurant was fabulous. it used organic, home-reared beef and locally sourced produce. I really savored it. the room was wonderfully equipped. i felt relaxed due to it being away from busy roads. I just heard the dawn chorus from wild birds.
communications before arrival were inept, so i spent time sorting everything out. it was inconvenient, but one staff member helped me.
