As if the trembling beauty of Tremolat in the Dordogne was not enough to create a perfect holiday experience, the Vieux Logis is the cherry on the top.
This marvellous Hostellerie – a member of the Relais & Chateau chain, has been in the same family for 500 years and the wealth of acquired hospitality shows. From the moment one enters, the efficient staff and immaculate reception rooms will enchant. Walk along the ancient wood-panelled corridors and into one of the 10 rooms and 8 suites to behold tres, grand comfort.
From the down duvets to the fluffed pillows and country French toile wallpaper, to the soft bath robes and silver tray piled with hot chocolate, an aromatic array of teas and rich coffee – no effort has been spared to create the perfect stay.
Manicured gardens frame a large, sparkling pool and the old tobacco drying barn has been converted into a magnificent restaurant offering menus to enslave a prince. The cuisine is costly; but the owners have thought of everything and, should you desire less ostentatious fare, the hotel owns an attractive bistro just outside the gates, offering magnificent food for a fraction of the price.
If you plan to stay for a day, you could end up staying a week. Discover happiness here. Daphne Beames
