The Originals Relais, Hôtel Restaurant Les Coquelicots

Very handy stop 1 mile from motorway exit. Pool to cool off the family. Good size of room and bathroom with walk in shower. Food was exceptional for such a small place (@ 20 rooms). Set menu with 1/2/3 course options or à la carte. Breakfast has good choice of self service options, including hot dishes. Reception by owner and his wife as chef means they really are invested in your stay. Add this place to good stops on a drive to/from Spain.

This was a superbe hotel. The initial impression is of a motel but the our room was so palatial it could hardly be considered as such. A large comfortable bed, settee( which could be made up as an extra bed for a family room) and large flat screen TV. Plenty of wardrobe space and coffee/tea making facilities. Open plan is taken to the extreme with the bathroom with its huge two person bath exposed to the living area! The whole is decorated very funkily ( you certainly won't forget the French for poppy!) All the rooms are on ground level surrounding the open pool(covered for winter whilst we were there. Reception staff were very helpful, as were those in the dining room. We had a good meal, with loads of little extras, although my rabbit was a little undercooked. The rest of the food we could not fault. We only stayed for one night but it did strike us as an ideal place for exploring the surrounding area.
