Logis Auberge du Barrez

Had a lovey one night stay here as part of our 5 week French touring holiday. The staff were really genuinely lovely, a special thank you to the French “English” lad from derby, we are so sorry, despite you giving your name several times we forgot what it was! He had the most wonderful English accent and took time to explain the menu in great detail and recommended a good local wine. The chef/owner was also such a lovely guy, very genuine and a great cook, truly hands down the best duck we had had all holiday, both smoked and then cooked to perfection compared to most of the other duck we had had which was sinewy, chewy and downright awful! Loved the local mash potato and tomme cheese which accompanied it. Apparently they smoke a lot of their meats and fish in house. The chocolate dessert was also wonderful, not sickly, not too chocolaty, just perfect. The room was very nice and spacious, clean, nice comfortable bed, would suggest asking for an upper floor room if going in warm weather so as you can have the windows open as there is no air conditioning, also no elevator. We were unfortunately woken up around midnight by some young people from the housing estate across the back garden who were chatting and then decided to play quite loud music (fortunately it was good music)!!! Again, fortunately it only lasted around 10-20 minutes before I assume some French local complained and then it was turned off immediately and we got back to sleep again. Would certainly try to make this a stop for a nights stay and to eat in the restaurant if anywhere near the area, definitely worth the detour, warm welcome, great room, good parking, wonderful food, in an era when french food is starting to disappoint. 100% recommend.

C'est avec grand plaisir que nous sommes revenus déjeuner en ces lieux . Nous avions été conquis par le menu du jour de la semaine précédente ( mardi )et l'avons été tout autant par celui de cette semaine (mercredi). La cuisine est très bonne et l'accueil et la gentillesse du personnel qui nous a enchanté. Merci à vous . Continuez ainsi . Au plaisir de revenir vous voir un jour peut-être, en attendant retour en Normandie.

en temps que camping cariste je frequentais le restaurant,depuis que la mairie a instauré le parking camping car payant avec camping car park je ne visite plus cette commune et donc je me prive de manger dans cette auberge ainsi que d'autres camping caristes nous nous rendons tous à bozoul 12 et allons tous manger à" la route d'argent" qui est super d'autant plus que la commune nous reçois sur un superbe stationnement camping car gratuit !!!
