Hôtel de La Plage ★★★

"I detect a strong sense of pride of ownership when I visit this hotel, which results in a feeling of reassurance that I am going to enjoy my time here. Everything is impeccably clean, and clearly one can tell from the others staying here that all appears well, and all is in order. When eating your breakfast, admire the handles on the cupboards supporting the buffet, and talk to the owner about her ceaseless work through the winter to maintain this beautiful old building to a modern and high standard. I love it! The town of Le Chambon, and its' vibrant centre plays an excellent supporting role to the hotel. You can't possibly go to bed hungry!"

Le Barriol ★★★

"A delightful discovery! This Logis de France restaurant, a member of the Maître Restaurateur group, is a true mark of quality. There's a good selection of set menus and à la carte dishes, all at reasonable prices. The quality of the ingredients is excellent, and the flavors are perfect."

Residence des Portes du Velay ★★★★

Le Moulin de Barette - Blavozy, 43700 le Puy-en-Velay ★★★

"The location appeared quite attractive on the photographs but the rooms we received were not in the main building but in separate tracts. These were very simple albeit functional and very quiet. The surroundings are bucolic and the proximity of le Puy en Velay quite practical if one does not want to park the car in the big city where traffic can be chaotic. We did not have dinner there but only breakfast which was served in a separate room of the main building. Practical but not very romantic !"

Hôtel et Appartements les Platanes ★★★

"A great place to stay - a really well-run hotel where you get a really warm welcome, in a lovely village with a beach and river swimming nearby. We have enjoyed a spotless, high-ceilinged room with really comfy beds and a really nice bathroom, as well as a little outside terrace with views over the Ardeche mountains. Breakfast is really excellent with local delicacies including chestnut honey, local yogurt and cheeses, and really good coffee and fruit juices, as well as pastries, bread, ham, etc. It also has excellent air conditioning, which is handy when the Ardeche is hit by hot weather - you still get a great night's sleep. There is convenient parking, too, and while the hotel does not have its own restaurant, there are good local options - including options a short walk away. The owner, from a family that have owned the hotel for decades, speaks good English and likes to practise it - handy if your French is rusty like mine! Warmly recommended!"

Le Bouchon de Campagne ★★

Logis Hôtel Restaurant Grand Hôtel de Lyon ★★★

"Friendly helpful staff, elegant downstairs with relaxing ambient music. Very nice breakfasts including perfect scrambled eggs and smoked bacon. Spotlessly clean throughout. Room with very comfortable mattress and wonderful shower."

Chambre d'hôtes le Mas du Moulin ★★★

La Demeure des Maitres ★★★
