"remote gem. nestled in farmland"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jun 21, 2012
the restaurant was very good, the chef creative. the grounds well kept and lovely. there are two red clay tennis courts, volley ball and the pool is wonderful. nestled in farm country on the Vezere river,the hotel was a short drive from Montenac , a lovely town via back road. The room i had did not have a window, just a large door, which i kept closed at night. The result was a stuffy night sleep. I would choose a different room when i go back next time. But even with that, i considered this hotel a reasonably priced find. the staff was pleasant.
"Lovely, comfortable country getaway."Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 31, 2012
Wonderful, attentive young couple running a B & B with the evening meal option in a true French Dordogne country-side environment. Would stay again in a nano-second. James and Jennifer are to be commended for their attempts to retain the environment and essence of the atmosphere of this particular countryside. They provided day trip suggestions, local insights and most of all their time to respectfully talk (English) to us. Our thanks to them for a memorable three-day visit with them. Truly a highlight of our time in France.

This hotel looks right out onto Mt. St. Michelle and you have a perfect picture at all time. The servcie was excellent as was the food. To me it was worht every penny and the only hotel I would tell anyone to stay at if they are going there. To me it was an A plus !
"wonderful surprise--Hotel Du Roc"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Aug 7, 2011
I was looking for a hotel in Souillac, and this hotel came up as nearby. I had not taken the time to look at the area or do any reading--this was a spur of the moment trip. The hotel location is amazing, right on the side of the hill outside Rocamadour. The location is amazingly beautiful. In terms of visiting the cave paintings, canoeing in the Dordogne, it's a little bit of a drive. But, we were not in a hurry and really enjoyed traveling through the countryside. The room was simple, but all we needed. The bed was a little hard, and that's why I give it a 3 for comfort. But, I would highly recommend staying here to anyone who wants a reasonable rate, a beautiful location, wonderful hosts at the hotel and this general location.

"This hotel is not for everyone"
If your GPS doesn’t find the location just keep heading uphill until you reach the top. It’s by the church. Parking is provided by the town around the hotel which is pay-parking, but apparently no one checks. We found that room was very clean, comfortable and modern. The only negative in the room was that they there are 2 types of heating and the one […] in the bathroom gets switched off by timer. You can override this, but only if you know how. So our first morning was a bit cold, but once we figured it out with the landlord’s help, the bathroom was nice and toastie the next day. I don’t recommend the restaurant. While the food is good it’s not as excellent as the price suggests, and the portions are small so don’t go expecting to be well fed. We didn’t have breakfast there, opting instead to patronize the local café which had Quiche and coffee at a much reduced price. I must say, though, that the views from the restaurant are stunning and may be worth the price of one meal there. On the whole I found the atmosphere a tad snobby for my taste, but others may enjoy the formality. I would stay again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Perfect romantic stay in the Dordogne"
Wonderful hotel on a cliff overlooking the Dordogne river and valley. Sophie, the manager/owner, provided perfect service and suggestions for touring. The restaurant is outstanding, with superb food and good service. Terrific value.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Beautiful View"
We loved L'esplanade, once we were there. The drive was a little scarey for my husband who has a fear of heights. We did not realize that the hotel was in a small city up on a cliff. This hotel was well worth the drive, however. The view from our room was spectacular. We had dinner and lunch on the terrace overlooking the Dordogne River Valley. The […] food was very good. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Victor (I think that was his name) was very helpful. There are many shops close to the hotel for shopping or just walking around. I would stay at this hotel again and so would my husband! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"A beautiful area and so convenient"
We visited L'Esplanade Hotel for a two night stay before going on for a further week in Sarlat and were delighted with the wonderful views and the surrounding countryside. The staff were extremely friendly and courteous and the accommodation first class.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A special treat"
The staff were very friendly and helpful.We found our stay very relaxing.For special occasions it is definately worth booking room 15 with its own balcony.Breakfasts were good.The evening meals were very expensive even though residents could have a half board deal.We preferred the flexability of eating at different places.Lots to see close by.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Fairy-tale location"
A wonderfully situated hotel with splendid restaurant, overlooking the most gorgeous view of the Dordogne river imaginable! The staff were very pleasant and helpful at all times, from guiding us in on our first evening when we couldn't find our way round the Domme one-way system, through to remembering our penchant for Darjeeling tea with our breakfast. […] Our room was a little cramped - the furniture was lovely but there was perhaps a tad too much of it - but overall we had a most enjoyable stay. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great view"
The hotel was nice enough but too expensive! we had a room on the second floor looking over the rooftops of Domme, clearly the best rooms are at the front and on the first floor. The decor is dated and no breakfast was included in the price. the evening menu was extremely expensive, we had a wonderful meal at a small restaurant in the town at a far […] better price. i think the hotel is living off the reputation of having one of the best views of the Dordogne River. We stayed in far better bed and breakfasts in the area at half the price!!!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"fabulous views of the Dordogne"
Hotel in need of redecorating as very tired. Obviously all the money has gone into the restaurant which was very good and the terrace with wonderful views over the river. The food was very fussy and rather old-fashioned nouvelle cuisine type of food which is very dated. There were times when it was obvious that they needed more staff for the restau […] rant.

Enjoyed very pleasant 5 night stay at the hotel. Stunning location in hilltop Bastide Town of Domme Beautiful far reaching views from terrace and dining room. Very comfortable room with very modern en suite bath/shower. Friendly staff. No lift. Restaurant serves very expensive "Nouvelle Cuisine" menu and expensive wine list.

"L'Esplande at Domme - great service, views & food"
We had a great room with a great view. Our meal at the hotel's restaurant was par excellence. A 'no problems' approach to service by the hotel staff was a definite bonus. Highly recommended. John and DebraGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Magic stay in Domme - Thank you Sophie!"
My husband and I stayed at L'Esplanade for two nights in September. Although we made the mistake of not printing off the map sent out with our booking and gettting lost on the way up to Domme and within the walled city, we were quickly settled into a lovely room with an amazing view and charming furniture. The first thing we did was have a drink on […] the terrace overlooking the valley at sunset. It was magic. We had made an email booking for dinner that night, and our gracious and welcoming hostess Sophie was happy for us to sit down at whatever time we were ready. The dinner was hands down the best meal we ate in France on our two-week holiday. The cheese trolley is worth saving room for! After dinner we had a cognac in the loungeroom, and a lovely chat with Sophie who happens to speak excellent English if your French isn't up to scratch. Gorgeous breakfast after a relaxing sleep in our comfortable bed. One minor issue with the room is the bath and shower could do with an update. This is surely the best hotel in Domme, it is worth staying at and having dinner at the restaurant. A real treat. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"L'Esplanade, Domme, France - you will love it!"
I spent seven weeks in France and drove thousands of miles. I can honestly say that one of the highlights of my trip was driving to Domme and staying at L'Esplanade. The small town of Domme overlooks the Dordogne Valley and the view is spectacular. The town was not crowded (July high season) and the restaurants and shops were wonderful. L'Esplanade […] was clean, comfortable and totally updated. The staff at the front desk were kind and considerate and they spoke English. If you have a chance, do not miss this lovely hotel.

"Hotel L'Esplanade, best view in the Dordogne"
Excellent food especially worth having the best option on the seasonal menu if you are having a special occassion. We were there for a 40th birthday and the mother of the owner sang a version of happy birthday - it was a lovely touch. We were very pleased with the location and glad we paid extra for the superior room as room 15 as well as a 4 poster […] comfortable bed has the bonus of the only balcony in the hotel overlooking the whole beautiful valley, perfect for room service fresh coffee and croissants from the bakery or sipping wine from the area and saucisson from the market outside the hotels door on a thursday.
