Set in a medieval town house, the 'Salthouse' features five romantic rooms that have loads of character. The decor mixes modern and vintage and the result is spectacular. Our favourite is the 'Gargouille' room, which has its own terrace and inspirational countryside views. The smaller 'Remparts', cosy as a bird’s nest, is a favourite among couples. Value and atmosphere guaranteed.
