I booked this hotel for my husband’s 50th birthday. We had planned a holiday but he broke his ankle 2 weeks before so we had to cancel. Having visited lovey Angouleme before I was looking for a place with a touch of luxury to take the sting out of loosing or holiday. This hotel did not disappoint! The staff went out of their way to make our stay special. So friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful, comfortable bed, clean and everything you could want in a room. The grounds are perfect, a relax by the pool. Breakfast was good quality continental with the option of boiled eggs. We ate at the restaurant in the evening which was exceptional. I don’t think I’ve stayed in a better hotel. We will definitely return!

“Lovely independent hotel”

This is a lovely little hotel. In a beautiful old building with parking on site. Lovely modern and scrupulously clean rooms, exceptionally comfortable beds and lovely original style windows with shutters. Very friendly and helpful staff. I don’t think you’ll find nicer in Angoulême.

We were somewhat surprised that our taxi driver would not take us down the 100 yard driveway as he said it was difficult to turn at the bottom. Should not have been a problem! Our room with en suite shower and separate toilet was clean and perfectly adequate but nothing special. There is no lift and so access is by stairs only. Not a problem as we only had hand baggage but could be for those more heavily laden. We had to ask where the television was hidden as it was behind a panel let into the ceiling and far from obvious. Although it all appears to be run by the same group of people we could not charge meals or drinks to our room but had to settle bar, restaurant and room separately. It seemed an unnecessary complication. Dinner and breakfast were pleasant without being exceptional. Given the high Tripadvisor rating we felt a little disappointed.
