"Charming B&B in a small village, run by a lovely Dutch host. The room was big and fortunately had aircon, which was vital during the heatwave. For a small extra charge (around €30), you can get a 3-course dinner cooked by the host, which was delicious, and served outside in the courtyard. Breakfast was also served in the courtyard and was plentiful to start the day. There is a village car park (free) next door to the B&B and had plenty of spaces."

"Ma fille et moi-même venons de passer une nuit dans ce fabuleux hôtel. Le cadre est splendide, très somptueux et bien décoré aussi bien à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur. Le jardin est magnifique et la piscine un plus bien appréciable en ces jours de canicule. Notre chambre était parfaite. Le personnel accueillant, agréable et à l'écoute (à l'accueil comme au service). Le gérant a également passé du temps pour discuter avec nous de la ville et alentours. Merci encore de nous avoir consacrer du temps en fin de service. Le petit déjeuner un délice, varié en salé et sucré, et copieux. Une adresse que je garde pour une prochaine halte ! Merci beaucoup et bonne continuation ! Audrey L"
