Charming hotel, nicely styled with lovely grounds and welcoming to pets. Although a few miles out of La Rochelle the hotel is self contained with well appointed rooms, small spa and nice grounds. Staff are helpful and the buffet breakfast (15 euros pp) offered quality products and a good range of fruit, breads, cheese, hams, smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and the option to boil your own egg. Ratio of tea bags to guests was ill-judged - 1 x Earl Grey, 1 x herbal and no milk. Reception provided milk and 2 tea bags promptly. I would suggest you supply 4 regular tea bags for 2 guests per night. Did not eat in the restaurant in the evening. Bar service on the terrace overlooking the garden was pleasant. Overall, very enjoyable if you're happy to stay outside La Rochelle.
