Fling open your window shutters to views of rolling pastures from one of 32 snug rooms (most with a balcony) at this converted farmhouse, 800m from Besse's historic centre on the road to Lac Pavin. You can almost taste fresh air in the breakfast buffet (€11.50) of cheeses, yoghurts and local honey. There's a games room and ski cellar, too.
If you don't fancy walking into central Besse, the on-site restaurant serves generous evening meals (from €14) including duck with Le Puy lentils and a few varieties of cheese and potato speciality truffade.
