“A Gem of a Find”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2011

Based on the reviews on this website we booked in this hotel and we are really pleased that we did. We started with a very warm welcome and then found the room was bright, clean and comfortable. We stayed in for dinner and we are glad we did, the food was excellent even by French standards. if you need to break your journey in this area this is a lovely hotel to choose. All in all very good value and a pleasant experience.

“Not worth a detour but you won't be disappointed if you do go”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2010

We dined on a Sunday - difficult to arrange in France. The menus were well priced and the food competent. Clearly there are touches betraying the owner-chef's time in New Zealand. And these add to the foodie experience.

A neat menu at €16.00, though the fish of the day was simply the cabillaud (cod) offered on the €23.50 menu. The sauce on both fish dishes was too tart - over-powerful lemon skin flavour. The higher cost menu was excellent value - and showed Asian touches unusual in France.

The soup of the day was clearly home-made - and a winner; and the sweets on all menus were excellent.

I expect the house wine in French restaurants to be an advertisement of the standards of the place. Here - well maybe it wasn't a good year ..... But the local beer was pronounced very good (CAMRA member).

“Wonderful restaurant!”

We went here while visiting parents and were absolutely delighted! Fantastic food (helpfully there are several levels of set menus - top not cheap!) in lovely surroundings with fabulous service. Unsurprisingly the restaurant was full - Suggest you reserve at weekend.. The whole experience was lovely - I couldnt recommend more.

“Warm welcome and good food”

We stayed two nights at La Goule Beneze and can highly recommend it. Cathy who runs it is charming and will do her best to let you speak French no matter how bad you are!
The rooms are comfortable and clean. We had a room at the back with a shower and thought it great value for money. The only thing missing was a hair dryer which would have been useful with teenage daughters. The food was excellent and the service friendly and efficient, despite the Sunday night being very busy in the restaurant. There is a small terrace which you can sit out on during the day and Cathy will bring very reasonably priced drinks. It is good stop over point for anyone travelling further down to the South West and only a day trip to La Rochelle. However the town itself is very pretty and worth a look round.
