Ample breakfast and as many coffees as necessary in comfortable traditional French drawing room. Laura our host was fantastic, extremely friendly and helpful and always able to advise on local amenities./places of interest. No request was too much trouble. The Chambre is in the centre of Sarlat which is extremely interesting, has numerous restaurants within 5 minutes and has enormous markets on saturdays and a smaller market on wednesdays. L'Addresse restaurant on Rues Fenelon was outstanding. If you have a car, free parking is available 5 minutes walk away through a small park. Sarlat is fairly central for a number of excellent tourist spots, canoeing on the River Dordoigne, Castenaud, Grotte de Domme, Zooological Reserve Calviac being within 20-30 minutes drive, Gouffre de Padirac and Rocamadour about an hours drive east.

We stayed for four nights in La Lanterne. The house is very authentic (old / original) and fits very well in the historic context of the city. Just half a day prior to our visit our host Meagan had redecorated some parts of the house; she did a great job, and we complemented her on that! ;-) The central courtyard in the house is very quiet and cozy. Our hosts, Meagan and her husband Tyler, did everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible; breakfasts were excellent, and the late-evening-wine in the courtyard was delightful. Meagan and Tyler are the most perfect hosts you can wish for... Hopefully we will come back in the future to beautiful Sarlat, and in that case La Lanterne is our 'home', as it was for last 4 days...

I didn't expect the room to be perfect, after all this house was built in 1503. It was unique and pleasant. We had our own private staircase to an upstairs room with bath. It had a lovely open beam ceiling. The breakfast/sitting room downstairs was comfortably decorated in an old fashioned French style with a fireplace and tall old windows. Breakfasts were fine, not super fancy, but included eggs cooked to order and yummy fresh strawberries (It was strawberry season and wow were they good!). You enter the house through a small courtyard with plants all around and a large table. The location in Sarlat was perfect. It was a quiet sidestreet, but at the end of the short street you were in the center of Sarlat activity. We bought our dinner one night at a little booth, brought it home to our courtyard and had our own private dining room!

Our bathroom was remarkably small, however, I'm sure it's not easy renovating a 16thcentury house to have running water, electricity, and a bathroom for every bedroom. Our closet was very hard to get into. You couldn't actually open the doors all the way, and the railing around the stairwell was right where you needed to stand. We were there 2 nights, so we just didn't use the closet much.

This is a very cute property in the heart of Sarlat. The host (Laura) was extremely helpful. She walked up the hill to our car and had us pull into the alley to unload our luggage closer to the hotel. She then helped us find a free parking spot (the town was full with Ascension day holiday people). Laura had plenty of recommendations for places to eat and doing laundry etc. Laura also welcomed us in the common room with wine and took time to visit with us. The patio was cute and the view from our window was the church tower and it looked magical at night. Lovely patio area.

We had the room which included 2 levels. The bedroom was upstairs and the bathroom was downstairs. Loved how cute the room was but the stairs (the rope bannister was loose) could be a challenge for older folks.

La Lanterne was a wonderful place to stay right in the middle of medieval Salat. The building dating from 1503 was now completely comfortable and charming. Hosts Jana and Noel made us feel right at home immediately with their welcoming glass of wine and delicious optional breakfasts. We stayed 3 nights to enjoy the Wednesday market, the truffle museum, and a walking tour of the medieval town. It was so nice to be able to sightsee and still drop back in “at home” to relax because La Lanterne was so perfectly located.

We liked everything.

This utterly charming little hotel is ideally placed just above the cathedral and 1 minute to the main square and it is easy to park there. Our room was delightful with a stunning view. We had excellent breakfasts and the owner, our host, was charming and very kind and helpful. We are a couple in our 70s ….. and we enjoyed every minute of our stay here we recommend it to you all. ENJOY.

Friendly thoughtful hosts, well appointed room, beautifully presented delicious breakfast for a reasonable extra fee. Nice restaurants nearby!

The advantage of staying in a lovely historic hotel is the old world ambience. The disadvantage is navigating the parking outside the historic area, especially in the rain. While the “free parking” nearby was very hard to find, we figured it out for the second day.

My daughter and I did a 10 day tour of Europe. This was the best stay of our whole vacation! The hosts are wonderful, kind and welcoming people. Absolutely freaking gorgeous chambre d'hote! Beautiful views from our room. The location is superb. Lovely courtyard and common area. I will be dreaming about the breakfast! I didn't want to leave! I cannot wait to come back with my husband as soon as I possibly can! A bientôt!

The home, built in the 1500's is gorgeous. The living area where breakfast could be purchased and enjoyed was beautifully decorated and had lovely views of the majestic church. The location was perfect and just a short walk downhill to the center of the old town. One room was 2 stories with the bedroom upstairs and a small sitting area and the bath downstairs via a narrow winding staircase. The room we stayed in was a bit on the small side, but the bathroom was large. As in many of the older European homes and hotels, the showers are very small (corner shower, don't drop the soap!). The host and hostess were extremely helpful, to the point of the host driving with me to show me the way to the free parking lot! They were very convivial and added a lot to our stay in Sarlat.

For the price of the room, I think breakfasts should have been included. We purchased ours at 11E each and they were excellent and hearty. But including them would have been a plus.

Fantastic location right in the heart of sarlat. The room we stayed in had great views over the cathedral and lantern of the dead. Very quaint decor internally. Wonderful little courtyard and living room available to use too The view from the living room is also over the cathedral. As there were wine glasses for use we bought a bottle of wine back and enjoyed the view one evening. The hosts were very accommodating and friendly.

Note that this is a charming little bnb so don't expect spacious bathrooms. The room we booked had a spiral staircase which was fine for us but may not suit everyone.
