Nous avons beaucoup apprécié dormir dans cet ancien couvent, plein de charme et de caractère. La réception était à l'écoute. Toutefois, nous avons trouvé peu de restaurants ouverts dans le village (février).

Unique and full of character
The hotel has a lot of character as it is was a 13th Convent is built next to an amazing Abbey. If you are fan of Game of Thrones, you would expect Cersi Lannister to appear at any time. On the down side, there are few facilities in the rooms ( no kettle just a tv ) and there is no air con, but to be honest , I didn’t suffer for it .( and it was about 35’c while I was there ) The town is small but friendly and has a few bars in the town square. I don’t know if you could stay there for a long vacation, but definitely a long romantic weekend.

We got the room with total different from the photo on Hotel.com and we can’t accept that as the room looks terrible no aircondition and the window can’t be open. We went out and bought another hotel which was very expensive as walk in price. It was such a terrible experience of us, I would recommend everyone to book suit room or another hotel should be a better choice.

Amazing hotel, restaurant less so
The old abbey is an amazing setting for a hotel. The building is full of atmosphere and charm, in particular the beautiful cloister. We booked a “Tradition” room. It was small but cosy with a modern bathroom. Don’t bother with the restaurant or the bar. Neither the food nor the atmosphere (despite the amazing setting) deserves recommendation. Not what you’d expect from a 4-star hotel. There are several other restaurants in the village.
