Wheelchair accessible hotels and vacation spots

were exceptionally clean and tidy but only the basics for furniture. Other than the bed and one wooden chair with a wobbly leg, there was no other seating. A small dressing table occupied the site by the window and a single wardrobe. There were no coat hangers inside but an extra pillow was placed on the bottom.

Tea and coffee facilities consisted of just two tea bags, two packets of Nescafe, two biscuits and two small portions of long life cream. No sugar, just sweeteners. The kettle was just big enough to make one cup but to be honest it was so revolting with the long life cream I only drank cooled boiled water whilst I was there. There was no advice about not drinking the water but we decided to buy bottles of Evian and kept this in our room just incase.

Each room has a TV but unless you speak French then it will be just there to provide back ground noise. Limited channels, there were just 7 and there is no point trying to tune in for other channels as the button has been removed from the remote control.

I had no idea how to turn on the small wall heater and no instructions were given either. Fortunately it wasn't that cold and the hotel was generally warm anyway.

The bathroom consisted of a bath with shower attachment, basin sink, toilet, and extendable mirror. Once again it was spotless. Yes the tiles had seen better days and the bath had lost its shine but the room was immaculate. Not a stray hair in sight from the previous occupants.

Plastic sealed cups were left on the shelf along with two packets of shampoo and a small bar of soap. I also found a large pile of freshly laundered white towels on the heated rail, warm, welcoming and incredibly fluffy. These are changed daily with room service.

The beds had crisp white sheets on with comfortable pillows and a firm mattress. I must admit it was very quiet which so aided restful sleep.

Apparently they do provide travel cots but you must pre-book these prior to your arrival.

* RESTAURANT/ "Nos recettes de saison" *

The restaurant received full marks from us, the food was delicious. You can either choose from un choix de menus (a range of set menus) or from the buffet which is the centre piece of the restaurant. Even the children had their own menu if required.

The menu given to us was in French, they had none printed in English. The hotel claimed that its staff was multi lingual but our waitress did not understand English so it was down to me to translate as best I could in my pigeon French.

The dishes were varied
