My family room was very nice.
The restaurant, Le Savoir, was delicious, but it took over an hour to get our starters.
Breakfast was complicated because the receptionist only served half a breakfast, so there was nothing left to eat, and we had to wait over 15 minutes for it to be replenished, leaving us very little time to eat.

4/5

An excellent hotel with a good pool for a very affordable price. Bed, room, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi were all fine.

Cons: the breakfast was disappointing, limited, and not well-presented. Also, a bathroom with disposable plastic soaps and shampoos is outdated.

The welcome was incredibly warm and friendly, both at the hotel and in the restaurant. The rooms were spacious and comfortable.

The frog legs were excellent, their specialty. The portions were generous.

A truly excellent establishment: impeccable service, frogs' legs cooked to perfection, and dessert, a huge and succulent vacherin. I highly recommend it. A very enjoyable experience. 😃👍

We spent three days at Les Bergeronnettes, a hotel we stumbled upon on a booking website. We don't regret our choice at all! The room (actually a suite with two bedrooms) was enormous, much to the delight of our two and five-year-old children. The swimming pool is a real bonus for families, the meals are delicious, and the staff is welcoming and attentive throughout our stay. The hotel is peaceful, nestled in nature, and we truly loved our stay. We highly recommend it.
