Book a Joyeuse Cottage

"Wonderful classic roadside hotel on a forest road. Simple and good food on the grill, kind staff — a place that feels outside of time. Comfortable clean rooms, what more to say! Merci!"

"Set in an old convent, the hotel has done an amazing job of blending the old with the new. The food is spectacular without being expensive and the setting on the terrace is magical. Comfy beds, lovely bathrooms, and loads of space for luggage and hanging clothes. We will definitely return."

"We absolutely loved our stay! Everyone was friendly and helpful. Location was superb and the restaurant food was delicious."

"Thierry and Nathalie have the management of their gîtes down to an art. Their welcome and departure are quick, friendly, and easy. The gîte itself was clean, well equipped, and roomy. A car is a must to get about and the local area has lots to do. I recommend taking your hosts up on the offer à boulangerie run when they make one as fresh bread and pastries in the morning is a welcome treat. We had a lovely holiday here and would recommend. "

"A very nice campground with some rooms available to rent also. Lots of activities for kids and a nice setting."

"Ideal for exploring the sites of the Ardèche, short walk to the Market town of Vallon Pont D’Arc and the park and ride to take you to Pont D’Arc as well as some great kayaking and hiking spots. The property has plenty of parking and 2 pools."

"Incredible pool complex. This is a short walk up the road at the Pierre & Vacances complex. Really easy to access all the great sports facilities. I was worried about this before booking but you really don’t need to be. Recommend the restaurant just above the pool. Gets busy at 8pm but arrive 7:30 and you will get a table no problem. Excellent quality and the kids set menu is good value for money. Thierry the bar man at Sowell was the most welcoming man ever! Room was basic but nice to have the kids bunk beds separate. Kitchen has Nespresso machine, kettle, hobs good fridge/freezer…. But no plates or cutlery, so don’t forget to bring your own. "

"Stayed 3 nights. Staff were excellent. Buffet breakfast was good value and had lots of variety. The evening meals were high quality. The room was spacious and had everything we needed (apart from a kettle). We are travelling by train so we found it very convenient for the bus station. Be aware that there is no food Sunday evening, but McDonald's is across the road. Will certainly stay in Ibis again."

"A short holiday travelling through the Archeche and Provence"
