Booked 1 night on route from Geneva to Calais.

Fantastic hotel in a beautiful location, 5 mins from the nearby motorway and easy to find. Staff on arrival were very friendly and helpful. Booked for dinner on check in(€19 each) and had the most amazing Toulouse sausage with sautee'd veg. A truly delicious local dish that really made us appreciate where we were. Best food we had on our holiday no question.

The room was clean tidy and very spacious. We'd been allocated a disabled access room due to availability and it was very spacious and seemed well catered for those who might require this facility. Walk in shower was appropriately big for an access room, with a sit down stool. Air con worked which was very welcome at night due to the temperature.

Fab. Lake activities for kids are fab! Just a short cycle away (if you drive in the summer parking is an issue)

Heading from South to North

Absolutely perfect for an overnight stay en route north/south. Basic hotel, clean, reasonably comfortable, adequate restaurant, close to motorway and supermarket nearby for cheaper fuel, definitely not a luxury stay though .
Animals not allowed - pity!

Convenient for a motorway stop-over.

Conveniently situated for the motorway for a one night stop. Very pleasant staff. A beautiful, traditional stone building, unsympathetically converted (we thought) for hotel accommodation. Comfortable bed (though with only one, rather clumpy pillow per person) but the room was uninviting and had a rather strange plastic carpet. To be honest, we wouldn’t stay there again.

Surprisingly quiet when considering proximity to RN13. Interesting to see 2 car charge points in such a small car park. I parked my Vignale on the forecourt which was just fine. No restaurant at the hotel unfortunately but good recommendation given for a place about 1lm away. Full of friendly locals. Great breakfast facilities at the hotel which set us up nicely for our journey to Toulon. Would stop by again if in the area.

Traveller

I was driving back from Italy to the UK and needed to stop overnight, booked the hotel the night before via the web site. The hotel is a lovely place, it is close to the motorway network (5 minutes) but far enough away that you do not hear any traffic. The hotel receptionist spoke English which was good because I do not speak French, friendly welcome. The room is well appointed with a nice and modern bathroom. There is a bar within the hotel but no restaurant for an evening meal, but they do have a restaurant about 5 minutes walk down the road next to the supermarket, so not real problem. The breakfast was extra but a very nice continental type arrangement using good fresh local stuff. The wifi is free and good quality, so no problems and my vodaphone mobile worked well there. I would stay at this hotel again.

Perfect overnight stay

We stayed for just one night on the way home from the Alps, and it was perfect for this. Just 5 minutes from the Autoroute, we were welcomed by the very friendly owner. The rooms were spacious, modern, newly decorated and very clean. Fabulous shower and very comfy bed. The owner recommended a pizza restaurant in the village which despite being part of the supermarket building, was full of locals both dining and drinking. Everybody was friendly and welcoming, and the food was good too. We left early the next day, too early for breakfast at the hotel, however the village boulangerie was open and was fabulous! Thoroughly recommended.

Good value, spacious room not far from motorway

Our room was very spacious and good value at €89. The staff were friendly and helpful. However it was on the 4th floor up spiral stairs which was difficult with a baby as had to carry her bassinet due to no lift. Also very hot and had to have the windows open which meant we could hear the noise of the busy road.

Perfect overnight stay en route to the south

The hotel is just three kilometres from the A31 and on the main street of the village, easy to find. It has courtyard parking; the village is generally quiet. It seemed that most of the guests were breaking their holiday journeys south or north, as we were. We received a very warm welcome on both occasions and the manager was very friendly and willing to help. The rooms were clean, with fresh decor, modern bathrooms and safe boxes. The breakfast was on the pricey side, but convenient for a quick getaway (served from 7) and a good range of buffet food. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Good overnight stop

The hotel was easy to find and the room was modern and comfortable. The receptionist spoke a little English and was helpful, telling us where we could find a local restaurant. We did not have an opportunity to try the breakfast as they did not start serving until 7am. It would be a benefit if they were to provide a dinner service but apart from that everything was good. Wifi was free and worked fairly well.

Hôtel très bien situé, près de l’autoroute, d’une station essence Super U…
Nous avons eu une chambre près de la piscine, c’était parfait. Très calme, propre et confortable. Un petit bémol sur le petit déjeuner qui pourrait être amélioré: du pain frais et jus d’orange frais auraient été très appréciables ( ainsi que du miel non cristallisé ). Pour le stationnement, il y a tout ce qu’il faut devant ou sur la place à quelques mètres. Nous gardons l’adresse!

It could have been fantastic. But the restaurant was closed and the bar in the evening as well. And there was a nice terrace outside but no lights. The village has one decent restaurant but you need to book that ages in advance. So we sat there on a dark terrace, thirsty. For sure everything will be nice on weekdays. But I would not recommend going on a Saturday
