We arrived quite late at this property after starting from the UK. It is a small inn and we weren't sure if we would be able to eat there. The host was very welcoming and offered us a table for dinner. There was no vegetarian option on the menu but the owner put together an excellent vegetarian meal for my husband.
A wonderful little place which we loved.

Lovely location on water's edge but room size, decor and furniture poor.
Rien n'est disponible puisqu'à mon arrivée, le propriétaire m'a déclaré que son établissement était fermé jusqu'en février 2026

Séjour dans le marais poitevin
En fait cet hôtel est en vente et sur le point de fermer. Restaurant fermé contrairement à ce qui était indiqué sur le site. La jolie terrasse que l'on voit sur les photos est couverte d'excréments de canard. Chambres infestées par les punaises des bois car "la femme de ménage a laissé les fenêtres ouvertes". Petit déjeuner correct mais rien à voir avec un "continental" comme indiqué sur le site. Je n'en veux pas aux propriétaires plutôt sympathiques mais aux sites de réservation qui devraient s'appliquer à mettre à jour les informations sur les endroits référencés.
Hôtel simple et confortable. Cadre calme et très agréable avec sa rivière, ses barques et tout plein de canards.

Dernière étape avant notre séjour en Vendée. 2 années où on s’y rend et jamais déçu . Hôtel et restaurant plus que convenable et le cadre très agréable avec le canal en vue des fenêtres
Sejour ayant repondu a nos attentes, au bord de la riviere, literie et salle de bain avec confort attendu, petit dejeuner servi, conseils adaptes a notre besoin et demande, possibilite de balade en barque realisee tres convivial et bon enfant
excellent hôtel. un seul point négatif, à 16h30 notre chambre n'était pas prête.

Hotel.com fait payer pour un hôtel fermé.
J’avais réservé 2 chambres pour la nuit du samedi 5 octobre à la vieille auberge de Sansais.
Nuitées déjà payées depuis 3 semaines.
En arrivant pour l’enregistrement on a découvert que l’hôtel était fermé.
Gros stress, où passer la nuit ?
Et le service d’assistance d’Hotel.com impossible à joindre… cela fait déjà 24 h que j’ai signalé cela par email, mais toujours aucun signe de vie d’Hotel.com…
J’attends un remboursement.
Très agréable séjour dans l'hôtel.. Superbe sortie en barque dans le marais avec notre guide Armel très sympa. Magnifique petit village de Sansais très calme. Je recommande.
La chambre n'avait plus était nettoyée depuis des semaines, elle était sale et habitée par des cafards !!
les lits vieux couverts de veilles couvertures !
salle de bain vétuste !
Personne a cette propriete pour pouvoir check in. Pas de lumiere. pas de telephone pour appeler qui que ce soit. rien. Et en plus le jour d'apres ils me disent que c'est ma faute. Pas de lumiere. Personne. incroyable.
