We used Logis de France to find a small hotel in a pretty location. This hotel in Montherme particularly appealed.

Montherme is at the confluence of the Meuse and Semoy rivers and the old town is contained in a peninsular formed by a loop of the river. The hotel is on the outside bend of the river about 10 minutes walk over the bridge connecting the two parts.

The hotel is located just opposite the Information Office on a quiet side street with parking for about 5 cars. There is a free public car park over the main road. The main building is quite old but most of the rooms are in a more modern extension.

Reception by the French speaking lady was very friendly and helpful, and checkout later was by the very friendly English speaking owner.

Our room was well equipped with storage space and a comfortable bed, TV and phone. The bathroom was quite large with WC, washbasin and shower. Towels were replaced daily. Tablet soap was provided but no shampoo.

Breakfast is taken in the bar which is available the rest of the day to guests. Set Breakfast was in traditional French style with no plate and consisted of a glass of orange, bread and croissants with jam, a yoghurt and a choice of hot drinks. There is no charcuterie or cheese. Nevertheless it was quite adequate.

The hotel restaurant seemed to be the only one open in Montherme at the time of our visit. It is quite charming with exposed beams and stone walls.
The daily menu is quite provincial, and there is a carte with more traditional steaks , etc., on it. We ate once from each menu and found the food to be well prepared and very good value.

Montherme is in the middle of a very beautiful part of the Ardennes, and the hotel is perfectly adequate for a longer stay to explore the area - so we plan to return again soon.
