Auberge Des Etangs Roussent

"Not a friendly welcome. The man and woman who dealt with us did that and no more. We felt we were in the way. We arrived late afternoon and due to driving for many hours we asked if the restaurant would be open. We were told yes at 7 ! Two minutes later we were told the restaurant wouldn’t be open ! Ok , so we asked if there was a nearby restaurant. The man said yes and gave us directions for the next village. We drove there and the restaurant was closed. We tried several local villages , all places to eat were closed ! By the time we got back the man and woman and everyone else had gone ! Previous to this we were told to only use a very steep fire escape to get to and from our room ! Not safe , one slip could have been serious. So we went to bed with no food and no water , nothing was provided in the room. Lesson learnt and we would not get caught out like that again. The bed was comfortable and the water was hot for the shower. The toilet had no door on ! The best thing was the breakfast , served by a different man , who was very friendly and provided everything we asked for. It was a great continental breakfast , which we were ready for ! No vending machines and nowhere to get a drink even !"

"😊: It is a lovely quiet caravan park ideal for relaxing. There is a area on the decking for a barbecue and fishing lake which is free to use. Also a small park with a bouncy castle for young children. There is a bar and restaurant if you don't feel like cooking.. 😢: This wasn't a bad thing really but the shower head did not stay up so had to hold while using it.."

"😊: Tranquil rural location. Friendly staff Good value. 😢: No shampoo in the bathroom (one normally expects this, even in cheap hotels- or, especially in cheaper places, wall-mounted dispensers of combined shampoo/soap liquid). Unfortunately no breakfast was available for three of our four days- a pity, because the one we had was good. We were fore-warned of this, and offered a swap to a mobile home which would have allowed us to self-cater, but we preferred to seek breakfast elsewhere. Returning at night we had to get to the first floor by a very steep external metal staircase. I think this was a temporary problem- access would normally be through the restaurant, but this was closed)."

"This is NOT a 4* hotel, HOWEVER, if what you are looking for is a very good value for money stopover, that is clean and tidy with friendly staff then this is great. We stayed here with a family of 4 and a dog for 55 Euro, dinner although not spectacular was nice, a 3 course meal for less than 15 euro each !! The bar is an added bonus and if you want to fish in the evening there is a great lake in the garden. The meal was OK too, with a decent sized serving, no complaints whatsoever.||This small hotel is definitely recommended by our family. If you are looking for 4 or 5* luxury, pay the rate and stay in one, if you want value for money, clean, tidy and friendly, stay here."

"Very helpful staff. Restaurant was average and ok prices. Room was basic but adequate. Bathroom was good size in room 12. Access with large luggage to rooms is not easy. | We would stay again for a stopover. |Breakfast was extra 7 Euros but worth it."
