“Lovely boutique hotel in beautiful town”

Reviewed 6 May 2013 via mobile

A lovely boutique hotel in a wonderful little town. A great spot for a couple of days stay. 2nd floor rooms were rather compact with nowhere to hang clothes, other than a hook on the wall and a very small bathroom. We were travelling with a group and the couples were placed in the smaller rooms, whereas the single travellers... More

Problem with this review?

Thank you for your kind review. We are pleased to read that you enjoyed the hotel and the town with renovated square. As you were travelling in a group we didn't know of individual room preferences. Indeed the double rooms on the second floor are smaller due to the slopey roof; however in the same category and price range we... More

“A Highlight of our Trip”

Reviewed 6 May 2013

As we were driving around France I chose this Hotel because it had private parking and had been given good reviews. What a fabulous surprise this little gem is. Firstly we were greeted by Marion, who spoke perfect English and was very professional yet very friendly, she even gave us a bottle of wine at the end of our 4... More

Many Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians and Americans enjoy our Classic rooms with many historic features. We were pleased that we were able to upgrade you to one of these rooms free of charge.

“Happy Memories”

Reviewed 1 May 2013

We stayed at this hotel a number of years ago and decided, as we were back in the area and celebrating our Wedding Anniversary, that we would have lunch in the hotel restaurant (Le Plantagenet). The service was first class and the food excellent. The chef's use of herbs was interesting which added very much to the enjoyment of the... More

“A quiet historic retreat”

Easy to find with good private parking. A warm courteous welcome [in english!] - quickly became part of the hotel family, receiving useful information about this historic Abbey 'village' and surroundings. Perfect cuisine - wines pricey, but OK by the glass. - but good to sample before searching for them at source by the case to take home! Wonderful good... More

“exceptional logis”

We are two sisters who have traveled all over France for many years. Very often we stay in Logis de France hotels and La Croix Blanche is most certainly, one of the most pleasurable we have experienced. The staff is very professional and very accomodating.(and a real plus, most speak English). The hotel itself is lovely with tons of charm... More

“over-pretentious, over-priced and unclean”

Reviewed 7 March 2013

We spent one night in this logis during our re-visit to that area of France. We were offered a top price room at 140euros, which they reduced to 120euros as it was already evening when we arrived and we were prepared to leave. There were two sparsley furnished rooms. A small sitting room connected by a short flight of steps... More

Dear mr and mrs C, Obviously the details you mentioned in your review are unacceptable and these have been discussed with housekeeping staff straightaway - we were horrified when we read your review.

“Good French hotel”

Reviewed 2 January 2013

We stayed at this hotel for the night of New Year's Eve 2012. We were there for just one night. Our room was very nice but a bit basic. The decor was a bit dark and the oak beams added to that (but that's just a personal preference of course). The room was very cold but they did provide a... More

Thank you for rating us a 'good French hotel'. One of the advantages of our historic 'independant' hotel: do not hesitate to ask to see rooms with different decors and colourschemes - all our rooms are different. More
