Contact Hôtel La Métairie

"Booked here for 1 night while traveling up through France. You get what you pay for; the rooms are basic and breakfast is an extra €9 per person. However, the indoor pool is kept clean, is free to use, is open until late and the lady at reception happily pointed out to us which restaurants were open nearby that day. All in all can't complain and would stay here again."

"The Hotel La Metairie is in a fantastic setting in the countryside just outside Cordes-sur-Ciel. It's an easy 20-25 minute walk to the town centre. The hotel itself is set in some lovely grounds with excellent rooms and a swimming pool. The staff were extremely helpful from the moment we arrived (the owners speak English but were very helpful with my wife and I practising our French) letting us know about thing to do in the area and ringing a local kayak company to book a tour for the next day for us. We booked this hotel very last minute and we have a vegan diet - the hotel at short notice were able to accomodate this request which was excellent. The breakfast is superb with a range of home made options (just try the home made apple pudding...incredible!). One tip would be to take a torch with you if you do walk into town as the roads get really dark and some are until once the sun has set."

"We had 2 nights here to strengthen us for a week with our children, their spouses and our grandchildren. It was perfect. Lovely room looking over Cordes - fabulously comfy bed with lovely linens. Breakfast was a delight ... who woukd expect aniseed scones, walnut cake, lemon and poppyseed loaf - as well as all the usual bakery. Nespresso coffee and a wide range of teas. There's also a cold soft drink machine -ideal when you forgot to buy water ! Plenty of good advice on restaurants (though this is our 4th trip to Cordes) my only advice try and arrive in daylight the first time - the lanes are narrow but fine at night if you've already seen them !! Spacious gardens some great specimen trees lots of sitting out space and an indoor pool for working off a bit of excess (there's an exercise suite too ... but hey, we're on hols !!)"

"Very quiet hotel where one can get a very nice view of Cordes-sur-Ciel from afar. The hotel owner has only acquired the hotel half a year ago and many things seem quite new. I especially appreciate the firm bed provided as non-sagging mattresses are difficult to come by in French hotels. We were offered a room on the 2nd floor which has a good view of Cordes-sur-Ciel. I don't think you can have this view from many rooms as it could be blocked by trees nearby, The room we had was big and came with a bathroom for disabled persons which was not particularly convenient for us. We tried the restaurant on the same complex and found it average. While google map works very well in locating the hotel, our car navigation does not. Use these GPS coordinates instead: 44.071583, 1.962883."

"What a place, it is a 3 star hotel, with the price of a 3 star hotel but just happens to be in the 3 hectare estate of the Chateau De Laborde. For Chateau read small manor house rather than castle in this case. Also for most of the other guests Cordes seems to be a stop off on your way somewhere else, while we were using it as a base to explore the Tarn area. What that meant was on days that we just felt like having a quite day we pretty much had the gardens and the pool to ourselves. The manager and all the staff who worked there were really friendly and really went out of their way to be helpful. There is lots to do in the area, apart from Cordes itself there is Albi, there are lots of pretty hilltop villages to explore and there is a great castle in a town called Penne which they are in the process of rebuilding using the old medieval methods. All in all we had a fantastic week and I would recommend staying there to anyone."
