We recently stayed at the Auberge with friends of ours for an overnight birthday celebration as we only live an hour away and it seemed a perfect getaway place. The rooms were fine if a bit small and ours had a very nice bathroom. However the dinner we booked was a complete disaster, pretentious and incredibly overpriced. Living in France... more

This is a beautiful area of France and the hotel is situated in a quiet village on the edge of a large forest. (So you may want to take walking shoes) The hotel itself is charming and the gardens are a feature and perhaps best experienced sipping a chilled beer on the terrace. For dinner, we chose the 45 Euro... more

We stayed for only one night on our way back from the Dordogne to Zeebrugge ferry. We had rooms in the main building at the side, which had french windows with a Juliet balcony. The rooms were very comfortable with lovely decor and seemd excellent value for 90 euro's. The evening meal was a heavenly experience, some of the menu... more

We stayed at this hotel for two nights over Easter 2006. The hotel may have been renovated since the last reviews because we thought it was just gorgeous. The rooms were very nice. Very good value for 90 euro a night. The bar area and the resturant is stylish and the food is amazing - one of the best meals... more

I'm belatedly writing this after reading the review dated 23 May '05. We stayed at this hotel in September 2004. Our room was poor - very basic with a small old fashioned bathroom. However, we found the food good but very rich. The dining room was attractive. Service was excellent and not at all intrusive. Breakfast was good. Our overall... more

This hotel appears in a number of reputable guidebooks, but unfortunately it is misrepresented. This actually is not a good hotel and the pictures you will see of pretty, bright rooms are only the three on the ground floor. The others, the majority and all those in the featured annexe are very poor, dark, tatty and unmodernised, probably not since... more
