Wonderful room and superb bathroom. Fabulous bed and superb linen. Restaurant average. On arrival the hotel, situated alone on a long, quiet, straight stretch of road looked like hotel from a Hitchcock film. The long-neglected neon lit sign on the front seemed incongruous with Dickensian wooden beams, distinctive having been painted green. We passed a faded menu and entered the reception. The door did not creak, but otherwise all appeared as it had done in an original Hitchcock film, the wooden desk littered with hand-written notes, the pigeon-holes for letters remained largely empty, and a musty smell of 'old'. A congenial man whose appearance matched the style of the hotel welcomed us in French. We booked in, and selected our choices for the following breakfast, ticking boxes on an A4. We were led up some stairs which must have once been ancient, but had recently been covered with extremely hard-wearing surfaces that would not look out-of-place in a high-street bank. No creaking. We entered a huge room. We had booked the most expensive room to avoid disappointment. The bed was also huge. The modernised bathroom was truly magnificent. We were so delighted. Later we were to discover that the bed was wonderfully comfortable and the bedlinen was superb. We had a cocktail in the garden before going into dine. The dining room had been decorated by someone with unusual tastes. The waiter smiled knowingly when I joked about the wallpaper. Large red roses, orange carnations, and pink peonies adorned the walls, enhanced by orange and red tentacles that were the wall-lights. As it was Monday, there was only one choice on the menu, a chicken and vegetable casserole which was delicious. The following morning we arrived 30 minutes early for our pre-ordered breakfast. Looking around the room, some tables showed signs of departed guests, and others were laid out complete with selected food. We recognised our selection on one of the tables.

We felt the cocktails at 9 euros and the bottle of wine at 39 euros was a little expensive for France. The food at breakfast should have remained covered on the tables as there were flies in July.

Hotel was very easy to find. It’s a great location for a stopover or to explore the area. The room was good and we were comfortable. The owners were helpful and friendly. We had to preorder our breakfast and everything was as we had requested. The eggs were lovely.

Some people might find the stairs to the rooms a bit tricky, although it was fine for us.

Comfy bed and modern room. The evening meal was really nice and breakfast was outstanding with plenty of variety. Staff very friendly.

Hotel was in the process of refurbishment but this didn't really affect our stay.

Ideally located for a halfway stop on our way home. Everybody was so friendly, food was fabulous, the breakfast was lacking in nothing. Rooms were spotless and the bathroom facilities were great.

Number one the owner/operator and staff. Bend over backwards for his clients. The Table de Catherine restaurant is excellent ( great wine list and excellent food). Our room was small but the bed incredibly comfortable, excellent bathroom , no breakfast buffet but a properly served ( pre-ordered) breakfast. Very clean place. We are actually going back in early september for another competition in the area and will be delighted to stay at the Golden pheasant. We’ll book a larger room.

A lovely comfortable room tastefully decorated and immaculately clean throughout. Staff were very friendly and breakfast was the perfect start to the day.

nothing!

Hotel location was quiet, just outside of village. No traffic noise. Warm reception from hosts. Michelin quality evening meal and good hearty breakfast. Highly recommended.

The weather, poured down continually.

Excellent food both evening meal and breakfast, easy to get to just off the motorway, would definitely visit again, great all round.

The best meal we had in France this summer. Imaginative, carefully cooked, very tasty and an exceptional vegetarian option.

Extremely welcoming rooms and breakfast. Meals are delicious as well.

Like a motel on the road
