Restaurant le Relais

Perhaps we would have appreciated it if the air conditioning in the caravan had been turned on upon our arrival. But then again, we hadn't given our arrival time... otherwise, the welcome, the attentiveness, the service, the restaurant, the cleanliness of the place—everything was perfect. We enjoyed waking up to birdsong in the caravan. Thank you.

A wonderful experience: sleeping in a caravan, in peace and quiet, enjoying my little garden to read in the sun

Hotel a 5-minute walk from the Palais Idéal (Ideal Palace) of Ferdinand Cheval. Very good restaurant with excellent service. We stayed in a gypsy caravan (two adults and two children), just for fun and the experience. No regrets, the children loved it and it was very peaceful. A great place to stay, very welcoming staff, easy parking, excellent food, lovely terrace.

Very friendly staff, exceptional restaurant.

Ideally located for visiting the Palais Idéal (500m walk). Excellent welcome and very good value for money. Highly recommended!

Very warm welcome. Delicious meal. Pleasant stay

Sleeping in the caravan was truly a wonderful experience. The restaurant was excellent, with impeccable service and good value for money. We highly recommend the chef's specialty.

The room is a bit small, but everything else are very good

Very good experience

Very welcoming and helpful staff. An excellent meal.

The staff were incredibly attentive; it's rare to find places that take into account comments made at the time of booking regarding gluten intolerance. Thank you for this consideration.

"People from the north carry the sunshine in their hearts that they lack outside." These words perfectly capture the essence of this establishment; a warm welcome in an intimate setting where even the chef delights your palate. Kindness and discretion are paramount.

Un vrai coup de cœur pour ce Logis Hôtel au cadre charmant et apaisant. La cuisine est tout simplement raffinée et pleine de saveurs, préparée avec passion. Un grand bravo au couple du Nord pour leur accueil attentionné et leur table d’une grande finesse

A very nice discovery, innovative and surprising catering like this postman's soup with this hot stone in the spirit of the postman Cheval who remains the emblem of this small town in the Drôme. The weather was also great for us.

Warm welcome, excellent cuisine, comfortable room. Very good value for money for an overnight stay.

Not enough space to put your affaires (not talking about clothes but iPad, newspaper, keys, wet raincoats or any coats at all. Not enough electricity to charge things, no possibility to connect apnea apparatus next to the bed. Had to choose to connect a lamp or a coffee machine or a water heater. Had to put the water heater on the floor!
All is set up for the coffee machine with several coffee cups, but two tea bags in the cupboard where we didn’t expect them.
Television is hanging too high.
Breakfast rather busy with always staff around doing tables, walking around. We came a bit later for breakfast and a lot was already eaten. There was enough, but I missed some normal cheese, even when I asked for it.
In general the restaurant was excellent by the way!
Staff very impersonal, looking at you if you were an alien…except a young girl in the bar, who was apparently new…

Cosy hotel, nice restaurant, friendly staff, good parking, close to the main attraction

A very nice 3-star establishment just a few steps from the Palais Idéal... thank you for the welcome!

Very good, I recommend. Excellent value for money at the hotel and restaurant.

Very clean hotel. Quality meals at an affordable price. Outdoors to relax in. And a breakfast that's worth the price.

Nice, clean with friendly and helpful staff

Très joli logis , chambre rustique mais avec beaucoup de charme, très bon restaurant, super bien situé par rapport au palais du facteur cheval, je le recommande vivement.

Very nice hotel, comfortable, very friendly staff! Very good breakfast too!

A pleasant break in a beautiful village

Great location, wonderful service, excellent food and vine

This is the second time I've made a stopover and it's really very pleasant. We slept in one of the caravans. Very comfortable. And dinner on the terrace was absolutely fabulous... refined, varied... it's gourmet... but plentiful... (not miniature portions) An exceptional welcome too. A big thank you to everyone

VERY GOOD

I have been staying there once a year for about fifteen years now, always delighted with this annual stay.

Outstanding

For a professional on the road, the overnight stay is very suitable.

Beautiful place, charming room, very friendly staff and top restaurant

Very good! However, there is a small problem that may be just ours 😉: access is complicated at night; once you finally find the hotel entrance - perhaps there is a missing explanatory sign? - the landing above the stairs remains lit for very short periods, making it difficult to enter the code if you don't have a torch. Kind regards. DH

A friendly house

Located in a lively village (Palace of the Postman Cheval), this hotel won us over with our family room and especially with its food: excellent! Very friendly manager, as well as the staff. That says it all 👍

The room rate is high compared to the quality offered, shower door is bad and shower head needs replacing, sun exposure from the corridor is random.

Great hotel. Room was well equipped and clean. Staff were very good.

The room was a bit small and without bedside tables. The meal was very good except for the cheese which is extra for the 35 euro menu and which for 5 euros comes in tiny portions.

Joli hôtel , chambres confortables, restaurant cosy cuisine maison, accueil très agréable.

Ideal location, quiet and peaceful but not sad. The owners are really in their place in this establishment, they manage it very well! Very professional and attentive to customers. Welcoming, clean hotel, restaurant not to be missed!!! Refined cuisine and there is very good service. If you come to Hauterives, this is the place to come to eat and then sleep...

Thank you for the welcome, the cleanliness of the rooms, the calm, and the high-quality restaurant. We had a wonderful stay thanks to you and your team, who are always attentive and attentive to ensure their customers feel comfortable. Congratulations for this; we will definitely return.

Very nice surprise

Just like what I like about hotel lodgings: warm atmosphere, friendly welcome, with a good table to boot :) Finally some authenticity! We feel good there

It was perfect. Thank you for your kindness.

A great experience

Very good stay overall, the breakfast is great, unbeatable value for money: good fresh, regional products and prepared with care. The only downside is for the evening cuisine at the restaurant: our dishes were a little overcooked. It's a real shame because all the products are fresh and local, you really feel the desire to do well. The owners and the young waitress/receptionist were very pleasant.

Very professional welcome Attention to detail Quality at the rendezvous Tasty food I recommend!

Very nice welcome, we feel good right away with a professional team. A restaurant of an excellent level with elaborate cuisine. Excellent value for money

Address to remember, superb table

great

friendly and professional staff, great restaurant and quiet hotel. The room and bathroom were newly renovated. A very good night's rest. Thank you

It was nice that there was a private parking space, which was locked at night. The room was nice and spacious, but the floor creaked a bit. The bathroom was nice and spacious, but the shower did not hang well, so you had to use it as a hand shower.

Comfortable and quiet room, good meal, very pleasant stay.

Top staff, nothing to complain about

Very good value for money for a business stopover, both for the room and the meal and breakfast.

Highly recommended establishment Pleasant stopover evening, elaborate cuisine The boss is not really smiling, even icy, but the boss and the rest of the team are really up to the task and that is the main thing

The hotel was chosen mainly for its location in terms of distance from our setting off point and distance to go for our next night stop. We have stayed here before some years ago but this visit was much more impressive in terms of comfort, service and standard of food.

On the way to the holidays, one night stop in Hauterives. The hotel is in every way faithful to the description. Very good bedding. For people who have difficulty walking, the stairs to access the first floor are a little steep. The breakfast as well as the dinner at the restaurant are good. I recommend this hotel.

The room is a small but cozy bungalow that can accommodate four people for a stay of one or two days. It has everything. Extra bed could be improved. Excellent cleaning. Good restaurant. Very friendly staff.

Excellent welcome, cleanliness of the room (in a caravan). Delicious dinner, and perfect breakfast.

very nice house

friendly welcome, good quality cuisine and quiet rooms

Whilst room was large and comfortable, there was a layer of dust along skirting board. The dinner was disappointing. Very ordinary stuffed rolled chicken and the cheese course was parsimonious! Staff varied - lady owner and young lad (presumably son) were smiley and pleasant, the gentleman was somewhat dour and downright rude when squeezing between me and wall to reach a socket without a word of apology.

Very welcoming Everything perfect. I would return with great pleasure We loved the restaurant. Very warm welcome. The food is excellent and very well presented. We enjoyed ourselves. A big thank you We are delighted. I recommend 200%

Friendly family welcome Quiet hotel. Very good restaurant with nice menu. Pleasant breakfast on the terrace. A warm and comforting break.

Very well received by the owners. Very nice family room with air conditioning and very good restaurant

Very friendly welcome, very well-kept hotel and excellent restaurant.

Super

Chaleureux

We spent a night in a caravan, very pleasant except for the bedding which had to be changed because it was too damaged.

Sleeping in a caravan a stone's throw from the ideal postman's castle Cheval with excellent meals as well as the extra personal breakfast establishment that I recommend

charming small hotel, good welcome, excellent restaurant and pretty terrace, air-conditioned room, attentive staff

Good breakfast, very good dinner and very good room cleaning

We loved everything!!! Nothing to say

Professional welcome and quality dinner. Perfect for a stopover before visiting Postman Cheval's ideal palace

Very nice home. Excellent restaurant.

excellent hotel, friendly staff and with exceptional dinner!

Hotel and restaurant to recommend

Welcome from the owner very smiling evening stopover meal any starter non-regional dish and not in season good point dessert large room to refresh

Very nice room and well equipped

Très bel établissement, bien situé si on veux visiter le Palais Idéal du facteur Cheval.
L’accueil malgré notre réservation tardive était vraiment bien! La table et la carte sont également à recommander avec des prix très bien.
Nous recommandons donc vivement cet endroit.
Nous y reviendrons.

Warm welcome, very friendly room, balanced and tasty meal (special mention for the Facteur Cheval Consommé, tasty and surprising), royal breakfast.

Very friendly and efficient staff, the restaurant offers beautiful menus with excellent dishes. The sleeping arrangements in the trailer were very good. To recommend
