Staying at Relais de Laval was a real pleasure. We had not stayed at an Hotel D'Hote before and we were not sure what to expect especially as we didn't book directly with the owners and we were unsure about the evening meal availability. The whole experience was a complete delight. Lucy welcomed us with great enthusiasm and our room was clean, comfortable and very tastefully decorated. The table D'hote evening meal however turned out to be the best part. Lucy is a superbe cook. There is no menu choice (although I'm sure there would be for vegetarians and allergies) and all quests eat at the same time but you can choose to sit at your own table or mix with other guests. The meal was four courses that were sensational yet simple, brilliantly presented and expertly served. This, aperitifs, a Demi carafe of house wine and coffee came for a very very reasonable cost. We slept well and enjoyed petit dejeurner the next morning of French bread, croissants, jam , meat, cheese and cereal. We also had tour of Lucys garden before leaving. We will return.

Great location and superb hospitality by Lucie and her husband. Lovely stay!
