This is a great modest little hotel. The gentleman at the front desk is extremely helpful and…read morepleasantly nice. I don't speak French and he really did his absolute best to make our stay was comfortable and warm. Make sure you arrive no earlier than 4 pm. My son and I arrived a bit early (about 3 hours). They open at 4 on the dot and close right at nine. So make sure you are there during those times to check in. However, this gave us time to explore the cute and relaxing little town to have a Quiche and some afternoon drinks. I had a crisp rosé and my son had some cold water served in a glass bottle. I do recommend.

Hannah W and I stayed here for a week in September last year and enjoyed our stay. The hotel is…read morelocated in the middle of a wine growing hotbed centred around the nearby village of Montpeyroux which is only a 5 minute drive through the vineyards away. The hotel itself is situated in Saint Saturnin, which is a smaller village, on a quiet square next door to the cellar of one of the area's more celebrated wine makers, Virgile Joly (yes, purchases can be made). There are no shops or bars in the village (an auberge opposite the hotel closed a few years previously). However, Montpeyroux has all that you need in that respect and is close by. There are two types of room to choose from. We went for the slightly cheaper option (c. €90 per night) and our room was spacious, clean, cool and with free wifi. I am not sure what differences there would have been had we opted for the more expensive option. However, we were very happy with what we had and we enjoyed our stay. Breakfast is optional but, if taken, is eaten in a large open plan space which also incorporates a fairly minalmalist reception desk alongside all the other guests. The breakfast itself is standard continental fare but is perfectly pleasant and the jug of coffee which accompanied it was well made and replenished on request. Before arriving I had been worried about where I might be able to store my road bike (which I had taken on holiday with me). I needn't have worried as there was plenty of space in the reception area for the bike to be left and, after a couple of days, it was joined by two bike 'friends' brought by other guests. Finally, I should mention that the Hotel is linked to two restaurants in neighbouring villages - Restaurant le Mimosa (www.yelp.co.uk/biz/restaurant-le-mimosa-saint-guiraud) and Terrace du Mimosa (www.yelp.co.uk/biz/la-terrasse-du-mimosa-montpeyroux). Both are excellent and the Hotel staff can make reservations, both before or after you arrive.

Very rude proprietor made us wait for 3 hours before checking us in (we arrive at 11am). They were…read morebusy and then went for a long lunch while we sat in the car. My 7 year old son was forbidden to use the pool until we drove into town and bought swimming trunks - shorts are not acceptable, but they don't tell you that till after you've arrived. Very noisy disco on one night of week. Extremely loud 'white-noise' of insects during all hours of daylight. Wifi is available but only in the bar and only after you've bought a drink. Swimming pool is 5 1/2 feet deep and totally unsuitable/dangerous for younger children. Never again!

Our week-end at Les jardins de la Source was unexpected and fabulous.

The appartment we stayed in at Les jardins de la Source was the perfect accomodation. It is a one bedroom with a large living room (with a sofa-bed), fully equiped kitchen, bathroom, and walk-in closet. It was roomy and comfortable for two adults and two kids. The breakfast was really good with fresh fruits galore, bread and croissants delivered straight from the local bakery, jam and honey from local producers, yogourts... Miguel, the owner, is very friendly and really did go out of his way to make our stay memorable. He provided a pack n play for our baby, Disney favorites for our elder to watch, and he was very accommodating to fit in a couple of wonderful hammam and treatment sessions in our tight schedule. We had a lovely relaxing time and we will make sure to stay there again on our next trip.
