Handy for Limoge airport
We had dined at the hotel a few years ago and the food had been excellent then. The present owners are building up their reputation. The room we stayed in was a good size and the bathroom well equipped with hairdryer, magnifying mirror (handy for make up which so few hotels or b & b's seem to factor in)although no tea and coffee facility in the room, which some places do provide nowadays.
We ate there in the evening - we chose the 19e for 3 courses - the a la carte menu being a bit pricey. I tend to judge a chef on what they produce in something like a plat de jour menu - if they can make good tasty local dishes then I will spend more on the next visit. Sadly this was not the case here - watery soup, pork chop and mash and an average pudding. We watched new arrivals to the hotel and restaurant and the waiters dance around the owners 2 dogs which either lay around or begged at the tables, which I found a little annoying. The bar prices are more expensive than elsewhere as well.
All round - I think they still need to find their feet a bit and a style that people will come back for more for. It is very handy for travelers to Limoge and the airport so we may use the hotel again but dine elsewhere. I wish them all good luck with their venture.
