“La chambre est bien insonorisée, confortable et bien équipée. Les petits déjeuners sont très bons, copieux et surtout fait maison avec des produits du coin. La table d'hôtes servie avec des produits locaux de qualité Et pour ne rien gâcher l'accueil est très agréable. Bref un bel endroit où revenir”

“We are inn-to-inn hiking along the GR4, thus have sampled many different chambres d’hôtes of the region. Pascal and Karin’s place was one of our favorites. It is a bit “old school,” meaning it reminds us of what cdh’s were once like. Personal service. Genuine, friendly owners. Dinner together with the owners on uncrowded evenings. Our en-suite room was clean, spacious, and commodious. Dinner was tasty and filling. We all learned about each other over the meal. We left in the morning feeling that we had two new cherished friends in little Fraisse Haute. Highly recommended.”

“Un immense merci à Karine et Pascal pour leur accueil chaleureux lors de notre récent séjour. Comme je l'ai dit à Pascal, même si c'était notre première fois, ce ne sera certainement pas la dernière. Merci également pour votre patience avec notre français approximatif ; nous avons beaucoup apprécié nos conversations à table et, bien sûr, votre délicieuse cuisine, Karine. L'hébergement était également parfait. Merci encore. Tony et Marion”

“Au Volcantal pour la 1ere fois mais sûrement pas la dernière. La chambre propre agréable au calme . Literie très confortable. Salle de bain spacieuse et fonctionnelle. Les hotes comment les qualifier en quelques mots : Passionnés, sympathiques, de très bon conseils pour les balades ( grâce à eux nous avons passés 2 jours avec des visites incroyables). D'une gentillesse comme je n'avais jamais rencontrée. Des discussions passionnantes. On se sent plus en famille qu'en chambre d'hôte. Et la cuisine mon dieu Karine est une cuisinière hors pair des plats traditionnels cuisiner avec passion et cela se ressent dans l'assiette. On s'est régalés. Merci a Karine et Pascal pour ces 2 jours inoubliables. A l'année prochaine au mois d'avril ! Je tiens à préciser que pour cette année nous avions une smartbox aucune différence avec des clients lambda!”
