The beautiful pool was still open and not cold in late September, the staff smiling and charming and the room very comfortable. But the food .... beyond delicious. Ignore the Michelin starred place in town and come here. We were on demi pension so expected to have to upgrade to get a special meal, but far from it. We started with cepes cooked in butter, with local ham, confit egg yolk and asparagus. The main course was confit fresh cod on a brandade of salt cod and local ham, with a light mousseline sauce. Pudding was extraordinary cream of chestnuts and meringue with cream and brebis ice cream. Wow! If ever a place is worthy of the coveted star, this is. Go before they get it and the prices shoot up.

Our waitress who served us for both breakfast and dinner was lovely. All the staff there were so friendly and all made an effort to speak to us. The food was out of this world, truly deserving its Michelin award. Only one criticism would be the breakfasts, very limited choice which got a bit boring. However, a very nice hotel to visit.!!!
