Le Crouzat — Hotel in Tournon-sur-Rhône

The owner of the accommodation is quite "communicative", which seems to be the main feature in some reviews. However, this cannot compensate for a lack of honesty in the description of the accommodation and breakfast (details below). ||The accommodation is only mediocre, and very overpriced for the standard offered and the area. We were in the "Châtaigniers" room. This is very dark, with hardly any daylight, as it only has one small window, with a high wall directly opposite. As far as we could see, this also applies to the "Fruits Rouges" and "Genêts" rooms. ||The room and bathroom were clean, but the fixtures and furnishings are primitive/cheap. In particular the bathroom does not seem to have been constructed/furnished professionally, but appears rather self-made and amateur.||The beds were comfortable, but were not made, nor was the room/bathroom cleaned, during our 3-night stay (pre-booked, based on the misleading information on the internet), in contrast to all other B&Bs we stayed in during our 14-day holiday in France. ||Breakfast was served in a corner of the owner's large storage room. It was quite monotonous and precisely "rationed" every day: 2 slices of bread (some of it already old), 2 mini croissants, a small portion of jam, a pot of yoghurt and a small apple per person, plus coffee. ||The following information on the accomodation's website (lecrouzat.fr) is pure fiction:||No homemade "sablés", "gâteaux", "brioches", "viennoiseries", etc. (nor any such items bought at a bakery) were available at breakfast on any day.||There is no terrace in front of the room(s), and certainly not an individual terrace per room, as stated in the breakfast description, but just a single large communal area covered with gravel, with the charm of a parking lot.||There are not "numerous" restaurants near Crouzat as claimed, there are none. When we asked for the address of restaurants in the vicinity the owner informed us that the nearest open restaurant was beyond Lamastre, about 25 minutes away by car.||The swimming pool was not heated as stated, although it was still high season (which of course still applied to the room prices). ||Conclusion: We would not choose the accommodation again for a stay of several days. It might be OK for one night, if no other options...

This is a tucked away place, high in the hills of the Ardeche, which we struggled to find after a long, long drive through windy roads. Amazing views and lovely countryside so we were disappointed that our room, or rather suite, had no view and very little daylight. Designed for a family of four it was not ideal for us but we booked at the last minute and it was the end of season. The bathroom had a weird, totally unnecessary, set of swing doors to the toilet. It was rather claustrophobic overnight, felt like a cave! Had to drive to find a restaurant, often a problem in France where they close on random days of the week. This was Saturday night and the nearest restaurant was closed! Breakfast was perfect, home made jams and plenty of good bread and croissants. Overall it would be great for a family who want to walk, cycle, swim (far too cold for us this time) and be in the country. Not ideal for a couple of...

Wonderful stay in this beautiful place. The owners are adorable and the b&b is awesome.||Excellent value for price. Very good food. Delicious marmalades for breakfast. ||The best rest we ever had.||The region is...
