Auberge des Deux Rivières

The location right above the river was nice. Also, the place is really vintage, yet taken care of. So it gives the vibe of visiting your grandparents. Nature around is amazing. Food was okay.

The receptionist was rude. First of all he offered us an expired beer. From Google reviews we realized, that it's not the first time, so apparently he tries to sell stuff that's expired, which is illegal in the EU. Then when we were nearly going out of the room at 11, we needed a few more minutes to make sure we packed everything. Yet he came and started yelling that checkout is at 11 and created pressure. So the attitude of the host was bad, not hospitable. On the contrary, the chef came from the kitchen and introduced himself and then asked if we were happy with the meal, a very sweet man. The room had a bad smell, I assume it's from old things in it. Also, I don't have any issues with animals, I love animals, but their cats and dogs are walking around and entering the kitchen. For those who are allergic it might be an issue. Also pillows were uncomfortable. And a bunch of insects were everywhere. I guess it's hard to handle them in the middle of nature, but still. Some spiders had a pretty thick net build in our room, so it means the room wasn't properly cleaned before we arrived.

The dinner was delicious and a great value. The hosts were well versed in English and made us feel right at home!

Room is exactly like in the pictures. The owners are super friendly. Breakfast is oke.

Not having hot water second day so not able to shower/bath.

The reasons why I will stay here again:1. The establishment has a wonderful combination of being quirky, historic andcharming. As the building is over 200 years old it has lots of oddities and charm. The owners have added lots of antiques and other quirky additions throughout adding to the quirky charm.2. The location is great. It also on the crossroads with at least two awesome valleys (and their mountains and lakes!) to explore. I can imagine the autumn must be spectacular with the changing leaf colours of the vast forests.3. Evening service was superb - absolutely delicious food! A thoughtful menu with a wider than expected selection of choices. Stay a few days and explore all the options! The menu was available in different languages. The menu had interesting history and facts about the area/4. The menu prices were very reasonable, particularly given the variety and quality of the food and the service.5. The ambience in the restaurant was superb. I ate alone and just watched the theatre happen in front of me. I enjoyed watching the service by 'the waiter' (owner) and the people at different tables enjoying themselves (and some couples arguing after a few too many drinks - as is expected?).6. I paid the lowest price for a room, so I was in the roof (as would be expected), however I had a double bed, a sitting area and a separate bathroom - with a bath. All excellent and suitably quirky. Great for the price point.7. I chose this place because I search out places where two or more rivers meet. Such places are special, in my opinion. I have travelled much of the world this way. This was a great result - two rivers meeting and a great establishment.8. There is a fantastic outside area including a 'beach'. There is also a natural 'pool' where one could swim as well. I didn't try it but it appeared that way to me.9. I enjoyed an informative chat with one of the owners.

The location,food,drinks, interior was interesting and nicely laid out and the service from both Richard and Philip was excellent,the food was presented in the right plates for the meal you choose and the drinks in the same manor, perfect

The room was very nice and location

Room a bit old so didn't feel very clean and no access to a kettle or mini fridge. Staff not friendly:( I wasn't directed to the river for a swim as I arrived despite the very warm summer day it was, had an argument with owner as simply asking for hot water. no options for vegans at breakfast and for dinner as confirmed by email they had 1 vegan option but very light (for a cyclist) and quite expensive for what it was.

The setting on the river was lovely.

The rooms are that of a basic hostel that has not been updated or refurbished in a very long time. Peeling paint, water dripping down the wall, no soundproofing, poor decoration, holes in the sheets, dirty shower, etc. I was willing to overlook all for the nice setting on the riverside. However, on our last night we were treated very badly by the very hostile and aggressive owner Robert. At first we thought his abruptness was due to his lack of english. He took umbrage when I requested that the table we had booked for dinner be one in the dining room vs in the reception area. He managed to fit us in the restaurant and I thanked him. He sat us at a table, providing menus in french and for which we were using our phones to google translate. He eventually brought us an english menu, but he became irritated that we were taking too long to decide what we wanted. We had questions about the unusual menu (turkey gizzard salad and tripe, frozen trout, etc). My husband asked what the pate was served with and he abruptly said, you have bread on your table? My husband then asked for a drink, Robert turned quickly to leave, never asking the rest of if us if we would like drinks. We called after him and he came back, got one more drink order and then turned without asking the other 3 what we'd like. I was still giving him the benefit of the doubt as the dining room was busy and he appeared to be on his own. He then approached our table and in a very hostile and aggressive manner, demanded to take our order NOW as he had other parties coming in. All of our faces were shocked at the way he had spoken to us. He asked what was wrong with my face and I said that his tone was the problem. He said that I had tried to undermine him from the first he had seen me, that he didn't like my face or the tone I had used with him. We are a mature group of adults, we were not drunk or unruly. He said if we didn't like it we could leave. The rest of the dining room was aghast too.

From time to time in travels you stumble across a hidden gem that blows your expectations and the Auberge the Deux Rivers is one such place. For one of our days cycling our tour itinerary had us stopping in the town of Seix (4km from Deux Rivers). Naturally looking on booking.com for accom my eyes opened wide when I first saw the price of this place, which was very affordable, as I clicked in the images of the place it did it even more justice. I knew we had to check this out with the added bonus of having a cold mountain river at our doorstep, for dipping our sore bike legs into. There was already a lot of excitement heading to this place before we got there. Anyway fast forward to a few days ago when we checked into the Deux Rivers. The location immediately exceeded expectations it looks similar in the photos but even better with your own eyes. The inside also has a nice homely feel to it and the building has been around for many years. We were greeted by the fantastic host from Belgium (I forget his name) but he was very friendly and helpful. Did the usual stuff at the hotel checked in, relaxed etc. Added bonus of the cool river swim just a 30 second walk from hotel. Now when this place really blew us away was for dinner. My assumptions coming to this little small hotel in a small little village was that we were gonna get the same classic meals wed been having the last fews days in France but we were all stunned when the menu came out. 3 - 4 arranged set menus all with different themes e.g. classic, vegetarian or a more local cuisine one where you got entree, main and desert. I mean we were excited when we saw this, a little nervous if the chef could pull it off but after the entrees came out we knew we were about to get the royal treatment. The dishes were unique and very tasty. Theres not enough room to write good about this place just go there and stay for minimum 3 days. Overall we gave it a 43/10

Didnt stay longer

Beautiful dinner room with visits of a few cats and dogs. Nice outerior indicating the location of the hotel

Very sorry, but room 6 (under the roof) smelled somehow weird and did not create a cozy feeling for me at all. In the morning the whole place smelled like the kitchen (burned fat) including our cloths. Dessert ice cream balls cost benefit ratio didn't meet our expectations at all (over expensive for a cheap taste and small portions)

The area was stunning and the Inn had lots of character. The staff were very friendly & even though they were busy spent time going through the menu with me (My french wasn't as good as I thought!) The food was delicious. The bed even though it felt hard when we first sat on it was amazingly comfortable.

Room was a bit dated but clean, comfortable & great value for money.

Bathrooms were old and tired but at least there was plenty of hot water. If you like Belgian beers then they had a good selection.

Very dilapidated and in need of a complete refresh. Menu in the restaurant seemed huge but in fact there was very little choice and a lot of those beer unavailable.

We received a very warm welcome, including our little dog. Lovely terrace for pre-dinner drinks, next to the river. We ate in the restaurant and the chef was able to adapt the vegetarian menu to be vegan. It is so rare to be catered for properly as a vegan in France. It was a delicious meal. Our room overlooked the river and we fell asleep listening to the 'white noise' coming from the water. Exceptional location with some beautiful hikes nearby. We can't wait to go back and stay here again.

Absolutely nothing

Excellent hospitality, great breakfast and well located for walking.

The people on the room above ours were extremely noisy and even after I asked the to be quieter they were not.

The evening meals were exceptional - Lots of choices and all regional dishes by Phillip. The area is outstanding.

We loved the whole setting, the beautiful old building and the river. The owner was very welcoming and organized an excellent dinner for us!

The bed was a bit hard but great value for the price

The river and that’s all

Rundown property, not maintained, short uncomfortable beds, both rooms stinking humidity and fungus on the ceiling; nothing that showed on the picture. The owner of the Auberge, arrogant, unfriendly and only worried of the pay. Breakfast was so poor for the money they ask, couple of croissants and bread, butter, jam, couple of the cheapest cheese for 15 Euros. We saw other auberges just nearby, same price, friendly people and maintained nicely.

This place is clearly a labor of love. We ate fabulously, slept well, and the kids were well supported with delicious kids meals (including a more and less adventurous options) and simple joys such as the beautiful garden, river, and chickens and rabbits.

Location lovely. The property has lots of character, and a good feel. The food had an interesting vibe, quite traditional, fresh and of good quality.

Externally the property could do with some upgrading particularly to the terracing. Certain areas could do with a tidy up. Easy to say when the hosts have their hands full, I'm sure.

The location was unique and har a great experience/touch with nature. The hosts were very friendly and the food was excellent!
