This is a lovely hotel in the centre of the town near the chateau. The rooms are clean and bright with air conditioning. Great breakfast with locally sourced produce. The only thing that would improve it would be tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms, or more teabags and water available downstairs with milk in the residents’ fridge for use after hours. Thank you Thomas and team for a great overnight stay!
