Hostellerie De La Poste

The staff we met were nice, and I’d like to book one of the rooms with a little balcony overlooking the back garden and pool next time. We had rooms 28 and 27 on the second floor, linked by a door, which worked well for a family, with one double and one twin room. They cost 80€. The rooms were large, with dated decor and old-fashioned furniture that brought the 1950s to mind, but the double bed was perfect and very comfortable. The bathrooms had plenty of towels and toiletries. We enjoyed a quick dip in the pool. Breakfast was very good at 8€50. The hotel bar and dining area were strikingly large, with old-style decor. The three-course menu was 28€ and looked good, but was too expensive for us this time.

The kitchen team did a lovely job for our group lunch of 40. We had generous portions and ate well. The set menu was a warm chèvre tart, roti de boeuf, and ice cream cake, and everything was delicious. Thank you to the kitchen team.

The hotel has been run by the same family for more than a century, and the original details give it a lovely atmosphere. The dining room and breakfast salon are wonderful, and the garden is neat. After a day cycling, the pool was a welcome relief. We were a group of nine cyclists on demi-pension. Dinner was well cooked and suited us, with a pasta dish, and breakfast had an excellent full buffet. We’d gladly return for the old-world surroundings, a pleasant change from modern, soulless hotels. Many thanks.

The staff are nice, and the restaurant food is pretty good. The place feels very basic, though. Our toilet door wouldn’t close, the sockets were annoyingly placed, and I didn’t like the bed blankets or sheets.
