We absolutely adored our stay at Cuq en Terrasses. The inn is located on the top of a hill in a tiny , quaint village. From your windows you look out over the rural countryside. The gardens are just lovely with lots of hidden seating areas and the pool a perfect place to cool down in the afternoon.

Our room was the suite by the pool, which worked well for our family of three. It was roomy, two levels, two little patios and a private entrance. It was quite old and full of character. It was tastefully and simply decorated. We had two bathrooms, one tiny modern one upstairs and a more traditional roomy one with a tub downstairs. The bath products were local and very nice.

Despite our lovely lodgings, the highlight of our stay was the amazing dinner on the terrace each night. We had just come from an inn with a one star restaurant in the Dordogne so we were really spoiled on good food. Well, I can honestly say I enjoyed eating at Cuq en Terrasses just as much as the one star restaurant. The food was not as ornate or fussy, but every bit as delicious. Much of it was grown in the garden and all was locally sourced.

Each night the meal started with a little appetizer, then there was a first course, main course, dessert and then cheese if you could manage it. What was so lovely was to be able to ask the chef/host, Andonis, how something was prepared, so I could try to duplicate some of the dishes at home. The wine list was mostly local too.

It was great getting recommedations from the gracious hosts, Phillipe and Andonis, about wineries, the best farmers markets, nice towns, etc. An added bonus for our ten year old son were the neighborhood dogs who visited us daily.

All in all a fabulous experience for my entire family.

Our stay was for three nights until 2 November, when the hotel closed for the winter. The weather was rather like the UK, so we could not enjoy the gardens (or pool!), but our room was warm and comfortable. We loved the massive exposed beams just above our bed which bore the marks of the carpenter's adze, and the views from the tiny windows.

We met a Swiss couple and another from Hawaii, and both had stayed before. The place is addictive, in a large part due to the hosts, Phillipe and Adonis. I have seldom felt so at home in an hotel and completely at ease. In the sitting room, there was a large library with English books, classical music, and DVDs, plus a wealth of well-researched information about walks and places to visit.

All our dinners were memorable for the right reasons. But be warned, the portions are huge by French standards. The carefully chosen wine list certainly did justice to the food, and the prices were very reasonable too. I asked the chef, Adonis, what he intended to do during the five months the hotel was closed. He said he had booked training courses, as he still had a lot to learn!

Both Phillipe and Adonis deserve the success they have made of their business (though I hesitate to use this word), and I'm sure it will go from strength to strength as they are never complacent, and always looking for ways to improve.

Stayed here on a long rugby watching weekend. Sadly Bath undeservedly lost to Toulouse. Earlier reviews have said it all - a special place to stay. Perfect hosts that combine friendliness and professionalism. Great food. Quality furnishings and a beautiful house. Lovely garden and pool.

Thoroughly recommended as a base for touring this part of France. One word of caution. This is a rural spot with little dining/drinking options in the area. You therefore should plan to dine at the hotel every night but believe me this is no hardship and great value for money.

Situated at the top of a mini escarpment with panoramic views, this hotel offers excellent accommodation and good food. Your hosts are Andonis (Greek) and Phillipe (French). They are multi-lingual and very welcoming. Really enjoyed our stay here after our flight into Toulouse.
