3 star Pet-friendly Independent hotels in Cantal, France

Great restaurant. Convenient location. Attentive staff. Would definitely return.

This is truly a family hotel. Without being intrusive, the owner treats you as you would expect to treat a guest in your own home. There was therefore no menu choice at dinner but we felt no need for one as the food was quite superb. However, I'm sure that that special dietary needs would be catered for. Eating in the hotel is really necessary as the nearest restaurant is a car drive away and who wants to come to France without being able to sample the local wines at dinner. Again, on the family hotel theme, the lounge was a typical family sitting room with of course, the obligatory French cheminee. It was small but big enough for three or four couples to have private conversations. Our bedroom was spacious and comfortably furnished with french windows leading out to a balcony with a table and two chairs. From this, we could admire the magnificant Auvergne countryside in the balmy warmth of the southern summer. A thoroughly enjoyable three days stay.

What a find! A hotel full of character and luxury. My only reservation is that the dinner menu is limited and there are no other dining options nearby, requiring a drive.
