Le Pont de l'Ouysse

Three of us were welcomed on an early autumn morning by a charming spaniel then by the team of the restaurant. Lovely delicious food and wine properly served in a charming ambience. was before us. We had already decided on the simplest menu. The bread basket came immediately full of the loveliest possibilities. We were given a lovely veloute of silky smooth mushrooms,ceps and perhaps a hint of truffles. Then foie gras with a slIce of a soft white bread toasted on one side. Then a piece of rolled lamb shoulder surrounded with amazing seasonal vegetables and a little pot of gravy. The puddings were absolutely amazing as well as the petits four served with excellent coffee. Lynne John had told me about this place years ago and I regret waiting so long before enjoying it. If you appreciate fine cooking in a lovely setting served attentively and fairly priced you will enjoy the rich food served here.

We stayed here during a hike of the Dordogne region and it was such a delight. Beautiful surroundings, excellent room and dinner. Everyone was very welcoming and helpful.

Wonderful dinner! Every dish had lovely flavour, balance and plating though the portions could do with a bit more finesse. Perhaps address the slight musty smell in the main dining area.

Sublime. We booked a table at the restaurant. We had good weather, the views are magnificent, the decor understated and fresh. The gardens in September were overflowing with produce which is used in the excellent dishes. Vegan and vegetarian friendly. They changed dishes specially for me, and they were all delicious. The service was fast and the warmth of the staff surprised me. A faultless restaurant!

We enjoyed a delightful couple of nights in this beautiful setting. We were made to feel quickly welcome and were very well looked after throughout our stay. The restaurant was full each night despite it being so early in the season and we were glad to have booked ourselves in. The food and wine were delicious and plentiful and I was really well catered for as a vegetarian.

Wonderful stay! Beautiful setting, charming family-run hotel, lovely rooms with very tasteful contemporary decor, friendly staff. Sadly the heated outdoor pool was far too cold to use. Our big regret was not booking dinner (especially because of the beautiful terrace) and by time we wanted to there were no tables left. But after eating dinner elsewhere (very few options in the area, fyi) we came back for dessert when tables had opened. Will highly recommend this hotel to everyone we know!

The grounds are spectacular. There are outdoor areas to sit and relax to the sound of a babbling brook. The room had beautiful old wood floors, great shower, and air conditioning. Pierre, at the front desk, was very welcoming. He made us feel at home.

I knew I was looking forward to staying in this hotel as part of our walking holiday but was blown away by the beautiful setting by the river and collapsed old bridge with a kingfisher flying up and down.||Our welcome was warm and enthusiastic. This is a true family run establishment . Our room was spacious and comfortable with a balcony. Our dinner in the restaurant was superb with wine recommended by the sommelier.||If you can, stay here. Enjoy the atmosphere, gardens, terrace, pool. I cannot recommend staying here enough. Or just come and eat.
