Auberge des Vieux Chênes - Malemort-sur-Correze

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.

This is a very nice hotel, When arriving I mentionned that I was exhausted and wish for a great night of sleep in a quiet room ; the hostess upgraded me to a luxury room (#12) facing a peacefull garden. We did not eat on the evening but the free breakfast was delicious in the country room nicely decorated. They offer ham, cheese, croissants .... Just keep in mind that there is no AC/fan.

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.

The map on Hotels.com did not help us find this location. It took us 2 hours in the dark to find it and we did so after literally knocking on doors asking for help. If someone doesn't speak French, you had better have much better directions in finding this place. Once we arrived however, the hotel was just what we had hoped for - a quaint place, out in the country. Breakfast was very nice the next morning, and we got to speak with the owners at length. I strongly recommend this hotel when traveling in the area.
