The location was fab and waking up to the birds and canal in the morning- vet quiet and peaceful. Homemade brioche and jams at breakfast were lovely too.
The building is historic and beautiful. The hotel is a 10 min walk from the city center. The room was comfortable and very clean. The staff was friendly and helpful and I would recommend it to otherd
Excellent location by the train station and the city centre.
Hosts were also welcoming, chatty, and friendly.
Breakfast was excellent. We had a really good time, and we'll be back next time we visit Niort.
Good easy to find central situation with huge underground car park very close by. Friendly and helpful staff which is essential for the elderly. Good shower with handrail. Comfy beds.

Fabulous place to stay for a few nights. very quiet village with plenty of restaurants and cafes. if you love walking, plenty of trails to follow and a ride in one of the punts through the Coulon glades of the Marais Poitevin in what they call their "embarcaderes" is an absolute must! once visited, never forgotten!

Beautiful small town on the Marais, called the Green Venice (in French). Lovely waterside with cafes and shops on a network of small waterways with boats for hire. A number of attractive places to eat, nice local market and shops with local crafts and produce.

I booked for 3 nights in Coulon to explore Le Marias.
I booked for 3 nights in Coulon to explore Le Marias. When I arrived I really thought I'd blown it and we'd be bored after 1 day. Absolute opposite. If you love slowly paddling through beautiful back waters, meandering on bicycles through little villages and lovely food this is the place. Spot on location to choose. There's more restaurants here than all the other little villages added together.

A river based Hotel in an area of waterlands and marshes may not be every bodies choice of a great holiday, but for some it is bliss. The river bank has boat trips and cafes/restaurants and a Country Park, great walks and much more. We will return, we loved it.
The hotel is in the middle of a lovely picturesque village. Welcomed by very helpful Receptionist. The room was very clean. My husband had a sore knee and was tired after a day of driving so the restaurant staff served us dinner in our room. The food and presentation was amazing. Very grateful to the staff for making that happen. Breakfast was typical French, but that suited us perfectly. Free secure parking at tenacity of the hotel was a bonus. We were also allowed to have our dog stay which we appreciate greatly.
We try to use this hotel when we travel between Bordeaux and Brittany. It is a wonderful place to stay overnight. The owners are always welcoming and helpful and the breakfast is generous. There are lots of restaurants for an evening meal and being on the edge of one of the many canals in the Venise Verte the setting is magical. The rooms have been designed individually with great thought and creativity.
The hotel is situated right by the canal, in a beautiful position. Our room had a nice view and was well equipped, with a generous sized bathroom. There was a good breakfast, held in the second part of the hotel, just next door. Coulon is a convenient base for touring the Marais, and also has a choice of restaurants and an interesting local museum. The owners were friendly and helpful.
By mistake, the hotel had booked us in for the following day, but, after checking for other accommodation in Coulon, they put us up in a lovely room in their own nearby house. They couldn’t have done more to make up for their mistake. Full marks for concern for their guests. And a fabulous breakfast the next morning!
This is a beautiful hotel. We had a large, spotlessly clean room. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was amazing. The hotel has secure parking. We will definitely come back!! We traveled with our two dogs who were welcomed into the hotel and the restaurant. Coulon itself is fantastic for dogs.
Friendly helpful welcome in a lovely small town. Good room, well appointed, quiet and comfortable. Hotel decor is cool and tasteful. Restaurant not inexpensive but the meal was as good as any we've had in France - enough said! Good buffet breakfast, French style.
We have stayed here twice before. It is a lovely place right on the river bank. Coulon is a fascinating little town and has lots of excellent eating places only a stroll away. Very friendly welcome. Breakfast was good.
Lovely welcome.
Riverside hotel in attractive village with many bars and restaurants. Very comfortable bed.
Well positioned as a stopover en-route from Caen/Saint Malo to SW France
