Hotel Les Monges Palace Boutique
Great boutique style hotel in a fantastic location. The staff were fab and the room comfortable and clean. Have stayed here a few times and would stay again there aren’t many parking spaces available and it’s not the easiest car park to access but otherwise and great hotel.
