I went back to this hotel last summer with my family this time, and it was just a fantastic experience once more. The region is gorgeous and in the middle of unspoiled nature, here's a completely unexpected elegant hotel and very refined restaurant. The rooms are beautifully decorated in a warm and modern style, the bathrooms are very contemporary, large... More

good modern facilities wonderful food beautifully presented in a very interesting region .the reception was first class as were all the staff

Stayed here for one night on a motorbike tour of the area and had a superb meal in the restaurant. The owner/Chef has a talent that is very hard to find even in the top Paris establishments. Every course was a delight and the presentation was divine. The cheese tree was amazing and our waitress did a great job describing... More

This is a quintessential French family hotel. The rooms are simple but comfortable, the welcome and service are warm and genuine, breakfast is fresh and good, the location is lovely even if it takes some getting to. It is excellent value for money. The restaurant is outstanding and the primary reason for going - but once there you can appreciate... More

I was with a group of 11 people and we didn't know what to expect when we arrived at this hotel nestled in the middle of the countryside. It turned out to be the perfect end to our trip, all I had hoped it would be. We were nicely greeted by the hostess and we found our rooms to be... More

Our second visit - perhaps one should never go back. We arrived an hour early, and Mme Brun the owner pointed out rather curtly that the boking said after 3 and just looked at us as if to say "Off you go then". She wasn't like that last time and she could have said "sorry, we're serving lunch, but do... More

We are taking a week hike organized by La Pelerine, a French walking tour company. La Pelerine is a remarkable deal for those who can speak a little French and want to travel by foot on their own through the French countryside – half the price of British or US companies with better accommodations - imo. We planned this walk... More

Le Pont d'Alleyras must have been an important rail stop at some time. Now, the Paris-Nimes express passes through about 4 times a day and no trains disturb the night. The hotel is simple and only manned when it needs to be (not, for example, between noon and 4pm out of season). Our room was quite large and comfortable, with... More

Stayed here for 5 nights. The location is superb, deep in the Allier valley and the hotel is very efficiently run by Michelle and Phillipe Brun. He's the chef in the one-star Michelin restaurant and prepares wonderful meals. She manages just about everything else with very quiet efficiency. The room was quite a good size (one of the "Junior" rooms... More
