Pros +
- The location of the room was fantastic with the most amazing view. It also was quite roomy. The staff was incredibly friendly and the fact that you can choose to have your dinner either in the restaurant or the room was amazing.
- The location is beautiful. The staff were friendly and really helpful and just made the experience even more special. Our lodge was cosy and surprising cool despite the hot weather. The canoe trip organised through the staff was spectacular, and the dinners and breakfasts (and the local wine!) were all great. I’m so glad we stayed here.
- The location was lovely, very close to the Pont d’Arc. Being next to the river was really great.
Cons -
- The double bed was on the smaller size. The shower was at first glance fantastic, however due to a lack of a door and the way the shower head is angled lead to a mess in front of the shower. The sink was also a bit too small and since the water pressure was strong, splashing was unavoidable.
- A toilet next to the bed behind a tin screen was not great. We also arrived and were told they were full for dinner despite emailing us so many times to tell us food arrangements would be made when we arrived. So we walked 8 mins up the road and had a fabulous bbq for a fraction of the price of the restaurant of the hotel.
- The view. Dinner at night was fantastic.

What a hidden Gem in the Heart of the Ardeche. Perfect location. We took supper at the Lodge as well and it was amazing. Thank you so much for a perfect stay. We wanted to stay longer.
The view. Dinner at night was fantastic.
We loved our stay. It’s beautifully situated on the river and close to town. The owners and staff could not be nicer and more helpful. We will absolutely go back and more than once.
Wonderful location!
Lacking comfort, “bathroom” = shower and tiny basin were in a small corner of the the room; not enough storage for more than two days. Breakfast quite expensive for just a hot drink, orange juice, one croissant per person. Offer to have breakfast on the private terrace, but after the heavy rain during the night, the place was soaking wet.
warm welcome. easy checkin and checkout. Very good breakfast. Stunning view from the terrace. Very quiet in a nice way. It's good for more than one night, but I had to move on. When in the area again, I will book again
Location was incredible as was the service and food, felt very relaxed
Nice location Quiet Friendly and really helpful staff
The rooms need a fridge. It was 33 degrees and it would have been nice to be able to have a cold drink
location was stunning
we had a problem with a blocked sink, which should have been picked up when the room was cleaned, also stupid basin size, to use it you ended up splashing water all over the floor
Nice quiet location. Meal we had in the evening was excellent. Parking was good.
Zero facilities in the room. No kettle, bar fridge, glasses or body wash. I don't know how you could stay more than one night.
Amazing location with beautiful private beach. Accommodation was exactly as advertised, with a lovely view of the river.
Would’ve been better if the lodge had a fridge and maybe a fan for the warm summer months, it was difficult to get cool in the evenings.
Wonderful location on the banks of the river and super 'african safari lodge' type accommodation.
I am sorry to say but the staff and maitre d' were very unfriendly and insulting. On arrival I requested a key for the lock on our door and was told they did not need to be locked and important/valuable items etc be placed in my car overnight (which is in a carpark near the entrance some 30 yards from the bungalow). My questioning and displeasure was met with disdain. Not satisfactory. Then there was a confusion over the booking of a kayak for the next morning; I had booked some two weeks previous and there was a conversation with a waitress re the start timing which didn't suit my onward travel plans. To be able to meet those I said I needed to check with other providers but could I keep the booking open for now and confirm at dinner. This I was told would be Ok. When I returned at dinner to confirm the original booking I was told that I had cancelled earlier and it had now been filled by another party. There ensued a conversation with the maitre d' which was ended by her saying 'I could leave the establishment now or accept and she would serve me dinner' ! Next morning there was a further confrontation after we had accepted an offer from a neighbouring table to finish their breakfast offering if we wished - yoghurts and some fruit. On checking out I was told I had been rude and taken foodstuffs I was not entitled to. On explaining I was told this was typical of the English and on protesting and saying I was Irish she said 'even worse' (and no I am not making this up !) So such a shame that a beautiful place is managed so badly.
Amazing location overlooking the gorge which is just 2 mins walk to their own beach. Kayaks going by and very quiet. Recommend ordering the large breakfast which was good choice and dinner can be ordered too. they can organise kayaking for you which is a must do. Just take repellant if the mosquitos like you. Great for dogs as our loved the balcony overlooking the gorge and swimming.
Mosquito spray for rooms or plug in devices would be a good idea and help as I got quite bitten
It is the location which is second to none. the timeless forested cliff you look out to with the wonderful private beach along the river. so close to Pont D'arc and the town too. it was great that we were able to book Kayaking through the lodge and they dropped us off and picked us up too. only small comment is that the staff and manager were hard to find sometimes but very attentive when you did.
Amazing location right on the river. Bathtub in tents is a great combination. Very friendly staff.
The view from our accomodation was just lovely. We sat on our own private terrace and watched the wildlife and the scenery light changing and then the stars.
Great location and good food. The owners were really helpful and gave lots of good tips, including an incredible hike. Direct access to the river was lovely and great for the dog.
Bathroom could be improved - particularly sink and shower.
perfect location, beautiful room, amazing staff and the food was divine
everything!
location & overall atmosphere
have one space that was air-conditioned. The heat was intolerable at times.
