We arrived around 2:30, which I agree is post a French lunch time. But we had ridden 40 miles fully loaded and were quite hungry. But despite being booked in for that night they couldn't stretch to providing any food whatsoever. And even more frustrating was that the restaurant was not open that evening. So there we were staying in a Michelin starred restaurant, and we couldn't eat there once, disaster. They were kind enough to give directions to the supermarket - very handy actually and well stocked, about 3 miles on the bike. So I went out and got some snacks for lunch. The room was the 'roses' one, and whilst highly decorative and very 'home made' styled, it was clean and pleasant. Weirdly there was a dishwasher in the room, again hand painted - would you bother? The bathroom as well appointed but windowless, good shower though, but curtained which is always a secondary preference to me over glass or tile. Overall very comfortable if a not a little 'fanciful' in decoration. They allowed us to keep our bikes near the room which was good. Television was so tiny (in comparison to most modern sets) it was nigh on impossible to watch - if that's your thing. We had to go out on the bikes in the evening for a 6 mile return ride to eat, in the nearby seaside town, see review for La Plancha, next time we'd maybe choose a different restaurant in the evening. Breakfast was good, clean simple fair, good bread, limited conserves, and a good coffee. Not sure I'd choose to stay in the area again, or maybe stay at the coast next time. Some beautiful properties for sale in the village nearby though....
