What a lovely place! The staff were very helpful and made us specail meals which were delicous as well as creating a lovely garden space. Highly recommended.
Très jolie petit hôtel, tout récent et très bien tenu.
Très bon confort.
Repas excellents , 3 soirs de suite, sous une tonnelle dans le jardin.
Seul petit bémol: étant situé au bord d'un grand boulevard, le bruit du traffic peut gêner.
