Castle Lavernette

All good. Arrived late at night and they left an envelope with the keys

Lovely hotel near the lake (which has a nice playground/swimming area) with great staff. Breakfast is a little expensive for what it is (17EUR per person).

This cute hotel was perfect for our one night stay after hiking Cirque du Fer à Cheval. Everyone slept well; kids loved the bunk beds. The lobby/restaurant area with terrace was especially charming and a fantastic place to start the morning with a coffee. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The street also has a lot of charm, with a fantastic bakery, cute restaurant, pharmacy, and gift shop all within a block. One drawback was that pool closed at 8pm, which felt early with the long daylight hours, and that the hot tub was 18+, which is always a bummer to well-behaved kids. Overall, we had a great stay!
