We arrived quite late at this property after starting from the UK. It is a small inn and we weren't sure if we would be able to eat there. The host was very welcoming and offered us a table for dinner. There was no vegetarian option on the menu but the owner put together an excellent vegetarian meal for my husband.
A wonderful little place which we loved.

Lovely location on water's edge but room size, decor and furniture poor.
With a pleasant welcome, we might have put up more with the negative experiences. But we felt our turning up at the time indicated was an unwelcome annoyance to the owner. The room was pokey and small. However the food was above average and priced fairly and the situation great. The waiter was an asset too.
Cet hôtel est un 2 étoiles compte tenu de cela je trouve que les prestations sont de qualité et la propreté remarquable.
Sa situation est tout à fait charmante ,au bord de l'eau avec terrasse pour le petit-déjeuner. Le seul point faible est une route un peu passagère à proximité mais cachée de la vue
Rien n'est disponible puisqu'à mon arrivée, le propriétaire m'a déclaré que son établissement était fermé jusqu'en février 2026

Séjour dans le marais poitevin
En fait cet hôtel est en vente et sur le point de fermer. Restaurant fermé contrairement à ce qui était indiqué sur le site. La jolie terrasse que l'on voit sur les photos est couverte d'excréments de canard. Chambres infestées par les punaises des bois car "la femme de ménage a laissé les fenêtres ouvertes". Petit déjeuner correct mais rien à voir avec un "continental" comme indiqué sur le site. Je n'en veux pas aux propriétaires plutôt sympathiques mais aux sites de réservation qui devraient s'appliquer à mettre à jour les informations sur les endroits référencés.
Dernière étape avant notre séjour en Vendée. 2 années où on s’y rend et jamais déçu . Hôtel et restaurant plus que convenable et le cadre très agréable avec le canal en vue des fenêtres
Sejour ayant repondu a nos attentes, au bord de la riviere, literie et salle de bain avec confort attendu, petit dejeuner servi, conseils adaptes a notre besoin et demande, possibilite de balade en barque realisee tres convivial et bon enfant
