Lovely old house in large grounds very quiet and peaceful, beautiful bedroom and bathroom clean and spacious, we had booked dinner only to be told there was a problem in the dining room and we would have to eat elsewhere!! adding that we would be better off not eating at the hotel !! this was two minutes before we were due to eat? why were we not told before? we were given a map and instructions to a very good hotel where we enjoyed an excellent meal, no doubt better than the Domaine du Prieure? we will never know.
We had a good breakfast the following morning, although we were annoyed about travelling to another town for our evening meal, as we had travelled a long way and the whole idea was to eat in........

We stayed at the hotel in July, when the hotel was quite busy, but once in the room, it was an oasis of calm. Hotel seems to have been relatively recently refurbished, and both rooms that my family had were clean and spacious. There is a homely feel to the hotel, and the rooms have character features, and do not feel like generic hotel rooms.

The hotel was so quiet at night, and dark, with no light pollution coming in the windows, as the location is quite rural in the small town of Tonnay Boutonne.

The location is perfect for touring the area, La Rochelle, Royan, Niort, etc, as it is near all arterial routes.

The on-site restaurant serves meals in the evening, if you book in the morning. The menu does not seem to differ each night though, so after 2 nights, we felt that we had exhausted the limited set menu. There are plenty of restaurants a short drive away though in Surgeres or St Jean D'Angely.

We've been to this hotel without know anything about it and this was a really great surprise the hotel was recently refurnished and really nice a friendly staff and a good restaurant.

This was a really pleasant stop over that we recommend to everybody instead to go to Rochefort or La Rochelle that are close to the hotel.

Wish you a nice stay there
