Nous avons été très déçus par la préparation des riz de veaux, très mal présentés à notre goût et pas assez cuits ! Les cèpes ont remplacé les morilles, ce qui est regrettable...

Nous sommes passés à ally à l’occasion d’un mariage chez des amis à Chaussenac et avons été très agréablement surpris de l’accueil de la nouvelle équipe de l’hôtel. Tout est parfait : chambres refaites à neuf, grandes et spacieuses, climatisation extra et absolument silencieuse, petit dej servi des 7:30, avec des croissants à tomber par terre, limoncelleo le soir avant d’aller dormir, …. Bref un 5/5 largement mérité. Bravo à la nouvelle équipe si accueillante. Le Bouche à oreille va sûrement fonctionner très très vite.

Les hôtes sont tellement gentils et accueillants que je recommande grandement cet hôtel ! De fait, l'hôtel et le restaurant sont tout neufs et méritent largement un 5/5 en confort et propreté ! La nuit que nous y avons passée était très agréable avec l'accueil chaleureux des hôtes et du mobilier tout neuf ! Je recommande vivement !

Ce n'est plus un hôtel, juste un restaurant repris à l'automne 2024 par un couple bien sympathique. On y mange très bien, tout est fait maison, le service est un peu hésitant, mme n'étant à priori pas du métier, mais je ne m'en plains pas, ils ont démarré avec bien plus de travail qu'ils pensaient, il faut un temps d'adaptation. Il y a des plats originaux (pieds de porc farcis aux ris de veau), et du plus classique. J'y ai mangé plusieurs fois et je recommande sans soucis. Vu l'affluence, il est préférable de réserver, mais c'est signe de qualité.
