Peace and quiet.

Great spot to access the alignments/standing stones. A bit off the beaten path but not hats where the stones are. Room was spacious and equipped well. Wi-Fi had no internet and cellular was too weak to load data. Breakfast great. Hostess and dog super fun.

Unless you speak great French this hotel is impossible to communicate with. We had to cancel one night ahead of time because of a schedule mixup but arrived for the second night. The bed was so uncomfortable I didn't sleep all night and the pillows were flat and old. We requested a cup of coffee the morning we were leaving and the hotel charged us for it after we had spent several hundred pounds to stay there. The elder lady at the desk was rude and unfriendly and it was difficult trying to communicate with her. We are only a 21 day trip of France and England and this was the one hotel we didn't care for.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Disappointing

The breakfast was good and the manager friendly. The room was very cramped (in the eaves) The 'shower room' was far too small - you coudln't bend over the basin with the door closed. Sliding door provided no privacy.The room was drab and tired. We stayed mid June - pool not available. Rather a deserted spot - will not stay again.

Quite expensive for the location. Would expect breakfast included and a heated pool for 150 euro a night.

Un havre de paix

Avis aux voyageurs : l’hôtel a changé de propriétaire et à été magnifiquement rénové. Séverine et Gwenaël nous ont réservé un accueil extraordinaire. Les chambres sont agréables, et la piscine superbement entretenue ne donne qu’une envie : en profiter ! Bref un havre de paix dans une zone très riche de découvertes. L’hôtel organise également des séminaires et je songe sérieusement à y en organiser un. Bravo et merci encore pour tout.

Charmant et authentique

Hôtel familial très sympathique, un peu vieillissant. Tout est propre et bien tenu, l'équipe aux petits soins. Cependant, ne pas s'attendre à une déco ultra moderne et la machine à café où vous choisirez entre Café au lait, latte macchiato et cappuccino. Nous, on a en revanche apprécié l'accueil chaleureux, les bons conseils, la clé de la chambre "mécanique" et l'électricité dans la chambre même en notre absence, les croissants et le jus d'orange qui nous attendaient chaque matin sur la table et nous ont évité de nous bousculer autour d'un buffet petit-déjeuner dès le réveil. Un hôtel à l'ancienne très agréable où on dort au calme de la campagne. Le top: la chambre avec mezzanine pour les enfants et le balcon - on ne se sent pas à l'étroit en famille.
