- Joanne (6/5): - This was a small, traditional French hotel in a sleepy town. We only stayed for 2 nights but it was comfortable, welcoming and tucked away just off of the main square. The town was a little too quiet but we were there on Sunday and Monday, when it appears many places shut down but we had a car so easily found where there was life!
- gisela (10/5): Très bon - L’amabilité des hôtes. Création d’un parking.
- karine (10/5): - La propreté. Le charme de l'hôtel et de son jardin ainsi que l'accueil des propriétaires. Très bon rapport qualité prix Rien

- Susan (9/5): Ancient town centre hotel - Very comfy bed, hot water, view of pretty and quiet courtyard Owner a little pushy when insisting one must not eat in the room
Owner requiring one to leave the breakfast room just ten minutes after last serving time
- Okan (7/5): -
- JAVIER (10/5): - Nos sorprendió gratamente por la tranquilidad y por la habitación para dos adultos y dos niños estupenda. Lo recomiendo. Nada. Todo estuvo muy bien.
- Liz (8/5): A pleasant stay on our way South. - Location in small village. Friendly staff. Lovely garden. Interesting old property. The one restaurant in the village was fully booked the night we were there.
- CECILE (9/5): Conforme à mes attentes -
- Mathilde (9/5): -
- Sue (2/5): A very unwelcome stay! - The hotel was very clean and nice decor. A smile from the hostess would have made such a difference. We have never felt more unwelcome, treated us with such disrespect. No drinking water supplied and no hand soap. We had problems with the broken showerhead fitting that led to a bit of water leaking downstairs. We were told off and warned not to do it again! No one came to rectify the problem. There were no umbrellas provided to protect us from the sun in the scorching 38deg.C heat in the garden. We do not recommend this hotel.
- Geert (8/5): Very good -
- Amandine (10/5): Superbe - Petit lieu plein de charme au calme hôtes très accueillants et prévenants à recommander +++
- Ronald (8/5): Very good - The hotel is situated just of the main village square in a quiet location. Our host was very welcoming and helpful, and the room was absolutely charming. The evening meal was very good, and the breakfast, including a lightly boiled egg, delicious.
- Max (9/5): Superb -
- Judith (8/5): Very good -
- Bari (10/5): Exceptional - it was very picturesque and beautifully done. The staff was amazing. Finding it at night was terribly difficult.
- Yates (8/5): Very good - Breakfast was OK
Location was very good for us Didnt like noisy people smoking in the garden when we arrived
- Derek (8/5): Very good -
- Donna (10/5): - Cute little village we enjoyed the company of few locals and the hotel is right there in the center of it all clean, friendly staff, and we had a good time
- Manuel (9/5): Superb - Very nice persons. Very good cuisine. The internet conection
- Sue (7/5): Good location, very clean - Comfy bed and good pillows. Really clean and helpful staff. Unable to have dinner in the restaurant as we’d booked after 12:00 noon.
Would benefit from an upgrade of bathrooms.
- Eoin (8/5): Very good -
- Chantal (10/5): Nice hotel - Perfect for a short stay
- Cris (10/5): Lovely stay in a traditional French accommodation with a warm friendly welcome. - Lovely traditional building in a quiet village setting. Not applicable
- Simon (10/5): Exceptional - If you are in the area, this is the place you must stay.
The landlady is the most helpful person and the facilities are great. Nothing
- Trevor (10/5): Great place to stay and lovely hosts. - Great location and lovely old building. All good
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional - This is a charming and.very comfortable little hotel. We arrived late after our flight was delayed but the proprietress could not have been more understanding and helpful.

- Doug (9/5): Superb -
- Tapioh (9/5): TapioH - Very friendly personnel, spaceous room, good bed. Quiet environmet. Sufficient and tasty breakfast. Perfect place for us.
- David (7/5): An interesting and comfortable hotel with lovely food and good staff: put - Dinner was excellent and so was the breakfast. There was tea and coffee in the room but supplies were very limited and only tiny paper cups were allowed. Madame would not allow ceramic cups or mugs. A nice pair of ceramic mugs in each room and a good supply of tea bags would greatly enhance the comfort after a long journey.
- Anthony (9/5): Freindly - Very friendly staff and extra comfy bed
- Rob (7/5): Good -
- Stuart (9/5): Lovely charming friendly hotel - Lovely hotel with great service Nothing
- Neil (8/5): Small comfortable hotel in a quiet location. - Easy to find. Friendly welcome. Comfortable room. No reception before 4pm. Village is very remote and quiet. Everything closed on Saturday afternoon, but had a good evening meal in the village's bistro.
- Joanne (10/5): Absolutely perfect, super food, lovely host. Beautiful setting. - Our stay couldn't have been better, what a lovely host Marie was. An exceptional meal at an extraordinary price after we arrived late. It was, overall, exactly what we wanted from a small hotel for our first night in France. Nothing!
- Jamess (8/5): Very good - old building, friendly staff, good location quite hot at night
- Joseph (10/5): Exceptional -

- VERONIQUE (10/5): hôtel plein de charme - Petit hôtel plein de charme. Accueil Chaleureux. Chambre agréable. Excellent petit-déjeuner.
Profitez de votre séjour pour visiter la magnifique église romane d'Aulnay de Saintonge.
- christophe (6/5): - Hotel typique de la région. le charme de l'ancien.
Pour les itinérants, a savoir : Pas de réseau pour les portables et Wifi très faible voir inexistant.
- dominique (8/5): - Personnels aimable et souriant, c'est la troisième fois que nous venons dans cet hôtel, plusieurs aires de stationnement à proximité. Le cadre agréable est typique de la région, chambre propre, confortable (baignoire, toilettes, TV, wifi, téléphone, bouilloire..), A chaque séjour nous avons bien dormi que nous soyons côté rue ou côté cours. Seul bémol sur ce séjour, le petit déjeuner, plus de service à table, il faut se contenter d'un distributeur de boissons, il n'y avait pas non plus de fruits et les portions (pain, viennoiseries...) sont un peu juste. Quoi qu'il en soit nous recommandons cet hôtel sans hésitation.
- Cécile (10/5): Charmant - Très agréable
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A surprising gem. Quiet location easily accessible to local services and bars. Lots of interior character.
- Paul (10/5): Great hotel. Beautiful with really helpful owners - We arrived in the early hours of the morning after a long night drive from Caen. The owners had emailed us an entry code and organised a location for the key. They also arranged for us to put our bikes in the garden. The room was spacious, clean and really comfortable. The next morning breakfast was excellent and situated in their beautiful garden. I would definitely recommend this hotel to families.
- Kevin (8/5): A few days in France - A pleasant stay in an interesting location and accommodation. Stayed here to break journey home to UK via Dieppe
- Henri (8/5): Pour vivre Heureux, vivons cachés (French saying) - Totally unexpected and hidden retreat for the tired tourists we were. A fully renovated old home transformed in a cosy hotel with authentic materials and genuine decoration. We have highly enjoyed our Old Cognac XSOP glass in a lounge hidden in a cosy corner on first floor...
- mo (10/5): Very good hotel - We needed somewhere to stay near our daughter and family who were in a gite near Aulnay
This hotel proved to be an extremely good base !
Very clean .,comfortable and quite charming
Very helpful hosts too
We recommend this hotel wholeheartedly ,great !
The only slight drawback is with Aulnay itself ,there is nowhere to enjoy a decent evening meal
Just a couple of fast food cafes
Aulnay itself is quite charming and we enjoyed visiting the market on Saturday
However we did enjoy a marvellous meal in St jean dAngely at L'scorlion restaurant about 20 min away .
- Martha (10/5): Go here! - Wonderful small hotel with great staff.
- David (10/5): Good hotel, no village food - Hotel is a nice property in a (very) quiet village. Room very clean, facilities all good, lounge area, free effective Wi-Fi extremely important when travelling. Owner was polite and informative, a French lady who spoke English well. The only downside was the village restaurant never opened and it proved difficult to get an evening meal.
- Pinky (10/5): Nice hotel for overnight stay. Breakfast was good! - Very nice hotel for overnight stay. Friendly staff who can speak English. The room is big and bed was comfortable. My husband & I would recommend it.
- Martin Pullen (10/5): Wonderful ! - Just the most lovely hotel: we had the suite which leads onto the walled garden and it and the level of cleanliness were 1st class. As also was the hospitality of the owners and the excellent breakfast. We will be returning.
- Mark (10/5): An absolute delight - In the centre of a small town the building has been very tastefully renovated Clean well proportioned rooms excellent value and a good breakfast. Highly recommended
