Where Le Clos des Cèdres is and how to get there
Le Clos des Cèdres is on Rue de l'Aumônerie, in La Rochefoucauld-en-Angoumois, in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Several guests point out that it is close to the town centre and the castle, so you can see everything without driving again.
The house has a private car park, which is a plus for a stopover. According to the description, the nearest golf course and Limoges airport are useful reference points for anyone coming from further away. For me, the car is still the simplest way to come.
What the rooms and spaces are like
Le Clos des Cèdres offers rooms with a private bathroom, equipped with a hairdryer and toiletries. There is free wifi, a shared lounge, a terrace and a well-kept garden.
What sets it apart is the heated indoor pool, which several guests mention as a real plus. The grounds also have a tennis court. Reviews talk about clean, spacious rooms decorated with taste, with very good bedding, and even a huge self-catering gîte for anyone who wants more space.
Breakfast is served as a buffet. One guest finds it simple but very decent, others say it is generous, with a homemade cake.
What guests remember about Le Clos des Cèdres
With 4.6 out of 5 and 82 reviews on Google, Le Clos des Cèdres has a strong reputation in La Rochefoucauld. The comments overlap a lot.
- The welcome. The owner comes up in almost every review, described as warm, attentive and available, even helping guests discover the town.
- The calm. Several guests talk about a very restful night, in total quiet.
- The house. An old building, full of history, very well kept and decorated.
- The pool and the grounds. A plus for families, including for a room with two adults and two children.
What to know before booking
Criticism is rare, but there is one that matters. A guest says a booking made through a platform, and already paid, had not reached the house, and the room had been given to someone else. They also regret that the property did not contact the platform itself.
It is an isolated case among very positive reviews, but I would advise you to confirm your booking directly with the house before setting off. The breakfast is rather simple, and this is not a big hotel with a reception desk open all the time.
| The strong points | What to know |
|---|---|
| The owner's welcome | A lost booking reported in one review |
| Heated indoor pool and grounds | Breakfast judged simple by one guest |
| Calm and bedding much appreciated | A guest house, not a hotel with full service |
Who it suits
I would choose Le Clos des Cèdres for a quiet escape for two, or for a restful stop on the road. Families also find it works, thanks to the pool, the grounds and the spacious rooms.
If you are looking for a lively place or a classic hotel service, this is not the best option. Here, the appeal is the house, the welcome and the rest.
