Hotel Mas de Cure Bourse

Went there to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary not knowing what to expect. We could not have chosen better. Lovely building and grounds, so peaceful and relaxing. Staff were very welcoming, friendly and efficient. The pool area was top notch, again peaceful and quiet. Breakfast was extensive and extremely tasty - breads were really tasty. The evening dinners were the icing on the cake! Absolutely superb - fine dining at its best, truly delicious. Wine list was extensive and very good. L'Isle Sur la Source was an easy short car journey, no more than 10 minutes, mostly less Sorry to say goodbye to such a friendly warm hotel - can't wait to get back there.

We stayed a week here in early June in very hot and sunny weather. The hotel is fairly simple with good grounds, and surrounded by orchards. We had a basic room which was quite small, but comfortable enough. It had good air conditioning which was essential given the temperature (in the mid 30s). The bed was comfortable and there was just enough storage. The bathroom was slightly odd with no shower curtain, but it was functional. The food in the restaurant was excellent, very well cooked, flavoured and presented. The deserts in particular were extremely good. The little amuse-bouche were also very good. There is also a very good wine list, with some excellent local wines. If you were staying somewhere nearby, it would be worthwhile booking a meal in restaurant. The hotel has a good size swimming pool with plenty of sun loungers. However, it is not really suitable for smaller children as it has no real shallow end. A drawback that might worry some is that it is very remote and only accessed, albeit from several directions, by very narrow and rough single track roads. You need to drive these very carefully as there are many potholes which could easily damage a tyre, particularly at night when they are difficult to see. Most of the roads to it do have signs for it, but they are not large and you do need to 'get your eye in' to spot them. However, my car's built in Satnav found it without difficulty. If you are looking for a very quiet country hotel serving good food this is well worth considering, but probably opt for one of the superior rooms.
