    Really wanted to give it 10, but no dining or bar makes this a great Bed & Breakfast, not a Hotel!

    Sadly no dining or drinking options. Needed to walk 15 to 20 mins into the town, or to the shopping center to eat in the evening. Very few dining options in the town, most places shutting at about 15:00. Walk home in the evening in the dark, along narrow partially lit roads, while feeling safe, was not a great way to end the evening!

    Very nice traditional building, that was finished to a very high standard. Set in spacious grounds, with ample parking, and on edge of a river with boardwalk to historic town center. All the staff were most helpful, and provided us with much information. Really nice, but very quiet, historic town with fantastic Abbey and other historic buildings, all well maintained.

    The receptionist didn't tell us that food was available at the hotel, only that there was no restaurant. So we had a very hot, unnecessary walk, and not a very pleasant one, to find a restaurant in town. In the evening, after our hot walk, we discovered we had no hot water in the shower!

    We received a very warm welcome from the receptionist, on arrival. The bed was really comfortable and the bed linen was excellent. The room was really well air conditioned. The rose wine we had, from an estate at St Emillion, owned bg the same company, was delightful. Breakfast was copious and my scrambled eggs were probably the best I have ever tasted. The manager, whom we met the morning after we arrived, explained why we hadn't been informed about the eating arrangements and undertook to sort out our hot water or move us to a different room. The hot water was duly sorted and, on departure, we were credited the cost of our wine which was much appreciated.

    Not having pool towels and the shower by the pool was not working. Had to use room towels which were then wet and not pleasant or useful to use when having a shower after a swim.

    The room was large and airy, the bed very comfortable. The breakfast was lovely. Very nice to have a swimming pool to relax in after a long journey.

    Good place for a stopover- just a few minor issues

    Was asked to pay the tourist taxon arrival; even though Booking.com states that all taxes and charges are included. The manager backed down when this was pointed out. Both Booking and hotels need to clarify these things better as it was not a good start. The place had only just reopened after the winter; the outside lighting, coffee machine and bathroom heater were not working, but no doubt will be fixed shortly. The decor is somewhat dated especially the floral carpets everywhere.

    This old character property is in a quiet and pretty location next to the river with a nice walk alongside. Plenty of private parking. A good stopover place if travelling through France. The room was spacious.

    Beautiful french building, nicely done up. My room was a little decedant and lovely. Nice quiet area with a huge comfy bed so I slept really well after a long drive. Excellent off road parking with lots of space. The manager is really lovely and helpful, booking me into a great restaurant in town. Its a really nice, short, walk into the lovely old town. Breakfast is fantastic in another beautiful old room.

    Shame the restaurant wasn’t operating for an evening meal. The town is very limited for food on a Monday evening

    Very pretty property with addition of small but deep pool. Grounds very well kept.

    Nothing! Everything was perfect!

    The staff were very sweet, they were ok with us arriving early and nothing seemed a problem. The hotel is beautiful and has a fantastic pool, sun loungers etc. Breakfast was included and hosted an exquisite array of continental food, the concierge Albo was incredibly helpful and helped us find a restaurant considering a few were closed. The room was clean and had French style, the beds were incredibly comfy. Overall a WONDERFUL stay!
