    All good

    This is quite a traditional hotel/guesthouse run by a very friendly helpful couple, right across from the train station. It felt very French, it’s nice to stay somewhere that doesn’t feel like it could be anywhere in the world

    Leaving

    Honest value and great hosts. Rural french living. It is not the Ritz but isn't trying to be. Situated directly opposite the train station the hotel provides delicious local cuisine. Clean, airy bedroom and good sized en-suite with power shower and daily fresh towels. The Saturday morning market was a winner all on its own. The smells and tastings were particularly well received. Guided tours of the old town area also available if you're a history buff and café/restaurants available until around 9pm. Just sitting next to the Dordogne enjoying a coffee a must. For the sunbathers amongst you there is also a community beach (yes a man made one) on the river's edge. With seasonal flights (1 hour 15 mins) at £15 direct from Bournemouth and a 20 min train ride (€6) it's a must just for a Romantic weekend. Just book a 10kg return baggage for the cheese and wine.

    The station bar/restaurant was closed with nowhere to eat or drink nearby on a Monday night. Very narrow/ steep stairs to the upstairs rooms.

    Be aware that on Monday there are no restaurants open in Ste Foy and with a misunderstanding with our poor French, we missed dinner at the hotel. The stairs are a little narrow and worrying with luggage.

    Friendly welcome. Bikes stored safely. Large room looking over small garden, quiet street and (quiet) train station. Good dinner and wine on the Tuesday.

    The attached bar and restaurant were closed and looked as if they hadn’t opened for some time. This meant a walk out, not necessarily difficult, to find food for dinner. Would I have booked knowing this…..no

    The room was clean and airy the shower and bed comfortable. The location may put some off given the closed attached bar and restaurant

    family room was spacious and clean, consisted of 2 bedrooms one with the bathroom in it. Very nice

    Very easy for visiting by train as it is very close to the station but we didn't hear any trains during our stay; it's a very peaceful location. The owners were lovely, really helpful, cooked us dinner as we were delayed arriving and everywhere was closed.

    The information about the place says a nice restaurant and bar. Neither are available the information on booking. I'm and the reality are some way apart. You need to walk into town to eat. Not a mask e issue at all. But for a place which is advertised as a restaurant good food, bar etc etc should offer the facility or correct the information on site. One of my main criteria when book I g is food and drink on-site this is becousei am oftern tired in the evenings when I have been touring and I want an easy life food and drink avalable.

    Very clean and tidy rooms. Lady who booked me into the room was lovely and helpful.

    Lighting in the room was poor, not ceiling light only a lamp and a light over the sink. The hotel was closed when I got there with wooden barriers across the two entrances. Doors were locked and I had to telephone but the number given on the door was unobtainable. I knocked loudly on the door to get the attention of a young girl. Her mother then opened the door. There was no food being served that evening although it said on the Booking . com site that there was a restaurant. The nearest restaurant was about 500metres away. A simple continental breakfast was 8.50 Euros. I did not have it.

    The location and free public parking at the station across the road
