We've stayed here twice. Whilst it's in the 'middle of nowhere' it's totally worth a hundred mile detour anytime ! A family business which is very professional but friendly, we were offered a tour of the kitchens in the morning on our first stay. Mr Bras was giving rigorous training to junior chefs and his mother who originally owned & ran a hotel restaurant down in the local town was in for lunch in the kitchen with staff. This is the BEST hotel we've stayed in France after travelling there for the last 20 years. But on a table next to us was a seven year old girl - how can she top that for an experience ? Diners were a wonderful mix of local people and visitors to the area. Everyone seemed to be welcomed with equal enthusiasm. Michel Bras is the 3 michelin star chef owner. The hotel is a stunning glass and stone structure perched on a ridge in a moorland location. On a clear night you can see the lights of towns and villages 20 miles away (that's if you're not totally focussed on your food !) Enormous bedrooms and bathrooms all look out over the moor and most rooms have a patio or balcony with lounge furniture to sit out in fine weather to admire the views. Philippe Starcke designs everywhere.
