We arrived and were pleasantly greeted, (great welcome from the dog!!) The hotel is obviously slowly being refurbished, we thought by someone who "has a go at DIY" and fails!. However the room was clean and we had lovely big towelling robes to use for the pool etc. Sorry could not bring ourselves to go in pool (thought there maybe a few frogs in the murky water)

We went for a trip into Mende to decide where to eat, there was nowhere that looked very appealing, so decided to try the hotel menu, it looked not too bad so we said we would give it a go. Well here was the surprise!! the meal was EXCELLENT, it could not have been better, the food was beautiful and it was also presented very well, Therefore we would reccommend this hotel - as a restaurant, and if your only staying for a night as we did it was well worth having the meal. We were so surprised, so Don't judge a book by it's cover has to be the motto
