Partly built into a rock face on the bank of the Aven, this efficiently run hotel, renovated in 2006 by new owners Valérie and Alain Bodolec, has simple, clean rooms with 18th- and 19th-century-style furnishings. You can choose from three locations: the 16th-century enchanting thatched "chaumière"-house, the modern annex, or the maison bourgeoise with a river or garden view. There's no restaurant, but there's a tearoom and the bar serves tapas and snacks. Pros: families welcome; rooms tastefully modernized. Cons: rooms small; mattresses can be lumpy; rooms in annex lack character.M. Bodolec (owner)
