This hotel is a gem. The property is a beautiful provincial house with large gardens, a large parking area and quaint rooms. The owners are outstanding and very friendly. As well, the breakfast is typically French and wonderful. The town is centrally located and provides easy access to a multitude of locations. Comfortable, great location and relaxing.

They are charming and will go out of their way to make you feel warmly welcomed and ...

Annick and her husband (the owners,) are just the type of people you want to...

I stayed at the hotel with my wife and love the place. It is a beautiful region. The hotel is located in a really quaint village while being close to many restaurants, shops and even larger towns. At a waking distance from the hotel, there are 2 fantastic restaurants : the Clos St-Pierre and Clos Bistrot. Incredible food. The place is really a little heaven! Exactly what one looks for for a vacati...
