The relais is in a small settlement of about 20 houses, about 10 minutes from the smallish village of St Astiers. As there are very few rooms, it is very quiet. The living room is pleasant, with a large chimney and comfortable chairs. The dining room is in the same room. There are only six tables or so, once again, it will stay quiet. Benoit, the host and chef, makes excellent food, original and well presented, using fresh local ingredients. The courtyard, surrounded by old buildings, is a haven of peace. We were there for a few days with two kids(3 and 1). The host took care of the extra beds, made some special dishes for the 3-yr old without us asking(e.g. macaroni with a ponzu-based sauce). Owing to the small size of the place and to the personality of the host, you get very well taken care of. You can also have dinner there without booking a room. Worth it too.
