Restaurant Grangier

Une excellente Logis avec un très bon restaurant!

Excellent accueil et personnel très serviable

When we arrived late afternoon the hotel was completely shut with a sign on the door to call a number in case of absence, but only after 17:30. I called anyway but no reply. We were not given any notification of this at all in advance. The (new) owner of the hotel is just awful. We were constantly interrogated if we would or would not have breakfast (while we were tired and hot and didn't yet know), we were given the worst possible table both for dinner and breakfast. The breakfast buffet for €12,50 each !!!! consisted of some pieces of stale bread & croissant, a few rolled up slices of ham and cheese, cake, cereals and some yoghurts tugged away in the back of the fridge. And not at all presented kindly of nicely let alone appetizing. The lady owner constantly breathed down our necks during breakfast. And when after breakfast we went for a short stroll before departure, she came chasing us down the terras to check where we were going with the key and when we would be back, as if we were some kind of criminal! After we checked out we walked via the courtyard garden (which is set-up with tables and chairs for restaurant/bar service) back to the parking area to find the dogs had been released and told to do "pee-pee" right there in between the guest tables!!! (By a young lady whom I assume is the owners daughter, she had the hotel shirt on in any case). We are dog and animal lovers, but not lovers of owners who let them piss and shit all around your guests areas (would you do this at home?)!!!

The thing is, I love smaller family hotels and am happy to understand, actually like the quirkiness that comes with that type of accomodation. This particular one I have known my entire life. It used to below to Jean-Pierre & Edith who were both an amazing cook, a lovely host and a couple full of live and hotelier love. Of course the 70'ties / 80'ties have long since gone and times do change. So yes I know I can be prejudice with hints of nostalgia. But over the past decades I have been back from time to time to visit Grangier on several occasions, either for dinner or a stay. Over the years the hotel has been modernised, some changes are amazing like the pool. Some not particularly to my taste, like the bland and boring rooms. But the area is beautiful, the chef was always amazing and the people who ran it knew how to make you feel welcome still: with a lovely set up breakfast and an understanding of hospitality.
Currently that feeling of being welcome is dead!!
The chef is still okay, so for food a visit it is fine. But the service of the owners is just awful both in the restaurant and the hotel.
I did leave a tip for the chef and the waiter (whom was extremely nervous around the lady patron) and I hope the received it, but I cancelled my return visit as this experience is not to be repeated.

I hope somehow the new owners will be able to turn this around and make Grangier a loving and welcoming place again. The natural surrounding are so beautiful and the core of the building is so lovely it deserves better.... and so did we!!!

Très bonne, un contact chaleureux, une ambiance familiale dans un très joli jardin, pour les repas.

Ambiance bonne franquette et prix élevé pour le niveau de service rendu

Très bon rapport qualité prix.
Chambre un peu bruyante sur la rue avec les fumeurs sous la fenêtre.

Une soirée sur réservation en plein séjour sans avoir été prévenu... Donc débrouillez vous, c'est le seul point noir qui gâche un peu le séjour, mais globalement: bon accueil, propreté, joli cadre, bon rapport qualité prix

Merci à toute l'équipe de Fan-Fan et Jean-Marc pour leur accueil. Etablissement tenu avec soin et avec le sourire. Tous nos vœux de réussite pour cette saison et les suivantes !

We have stayed at Le Grangier before and Jean Marc and FanFan have recently taken over this delightful, small hotel.... everything is still very good and a very happy welcoming feeling when there. Great room, shower, bar, restaurant and breakfast. We will stay at Le Grangier again, for sure! Thank you, Jean Marc and FanFan.... a very happy few days with you.... Good Luck with your new business! Charlie B.
