Fodor's Expert Review Hostellerie Bon Accueil
La Frasse, Château-d'Oex, Vaud, 1660, Switzerland
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
In beautifully proportioned 18th-century weathered-wood farmhouses on the outskirts of town, this is the quintessential French-Swiss country inn. Guest rooms mix aged pine planking, painted furniture, and antiques, and under the old low-beam ceilings the floors creak agreeably. Up-to-date amenities, immaculate appointments, and fresh flowers—inside and out—keep standards well above rustic. The restaurant is even more civilized, and on winter nights there's a firelit stone cellar bar with low-key jazz.
PROS
- peaceful surroundings
- unexpected top-notch kitchen
CONS
- a hike to village shops, restaurants, and the train station
- rooms in the main house more appealing
