Hôtel le Centenaire

Every element of this great hotel is perfect. The Michelin guide nomination is well deserved as the food is beyond magnificent. The duck confit was sublime as was all other plates we enjoyed. The staff cannot do enough for you to ensure you have a great stay.

lovely hotel. We had a huge suite, lots of room in the bedroom as well as the lounge. Large bathroom with tub and walk-in shower. Had a fridge and safe. Lots of electrical plugs. Comfortable and clean. 10/10. Restaurant’s food was good and flavorful.

This hotel is perfect! The quality of the accommodation and the generosity of the hosts is excellent. They pride themselves on being environmentally proactive, so there are no single use plastic toiletries in the rooms. Instead, on arrival, you are invited to choose the fragrance of your own handmade soap and shampoo bar, slices of which are given to you on a plate to take to your room. And no pod coffee here. In the rooms there is freshly ground coffee with your plunger, and real excellent espresso at the breakfast table. The owners are a husband and wife team. He's a chef and cooks for their fine dining restaurant (exquisite), bistro, and breakfasts which includes his freshly baked croissants, baguette and cookies. There is a large kitchen garden in the courtyard with wonderful fresh produce. I would go back again and again!

Overall pretty good. Didn’t seem busy but I imagine it will get busier if the food keeps up to the standard and it gets a star. We stayed for 3 nights and had a room with a balcony. Room was comfortable and clean, bathroom was great and appeared to be recently renovated to a high standard. Staff were great, friendly and accommodating. Couple of minor points, the road is fairly busy, it’s not so bad on weekends but in the week it appears to be used by a large amount of Lorry’s fairly early in the morning so getting a room the faced away from the road could be a decent idea. Terrace is not private to other terrace and road, needs a wall or partition around it. Breakfast was ok, bread a bit too stale and clearly recycled from restaurant? On Friday and Saturday morning had delicious cooked eggs and mushrooms, Sunday morning for some reason not the same eggs were watery and mushrooms oily (I think someone else made this tbh) also, we thought the area of the bistro was strange. It would be better if breakfast was in the restaurant area as the bistro area is not so nice. I imagine if the hotel is busy people would be walking past you in and out of the door to the car park whilst eating which isn’t so pleasant. I must say these are fairly minor complaints though, it was good and we would go back (not just for the food in restaurant)!

We stayed three nights with a Smithsonian tour. The hotel was absolutely gorgeous, sparkling clean, every amenity, wonderful food and wine, great location. The staff easily understood English, were extremely helpful. The owners were easily available and were very welcoming.

We had a fabulous dinner at Le Centenaire. The food was excellent and the wait staff top notch. My wife is a vegetarian and the meal they prepared was excellent. Don't miss the coffee trolley for an unforgettable experience. We are lucky enough to live close by and thus will now be a favourite.

Great location to visit many of the spectacular sites in the area. The welcome we experienced was first class and the room spacious and well equipped. The staff were exceptional, ensuring all our needs were met in a very professional way and always with a smile. We ate in the Bistro and Restaurant, under the stars, and the food was delightful. The continental breakfast was one of the best we have experienced in many years of travel. We have many fond memories of our two night stay and would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Dordogne.

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights and used it as our base to visit the Dordogne. Although Les Eyzies is not the prettiest of the riverside villages along the Dordogne it was in a good position for what we needed, and is very well located for visiting the Prehistoric Caves of the region. The hotel is small, boutique but, in our eyes, perfectly formed and the thing that really makes it work was the 'team', I call them a team as they are more than just staff. You can see how they work together, support each other and, together, put the guest first in all they do, they are a credit to the hotel. The room we had was marvellous, large, twin French doors leading to a large terrace, ample wardrobe and drawer space and a beautiful and spacious bathroom. The bed was an amazing size and the sheets were of tremendous quality, my wife said that because of the beds and the sheets she had the best nights sleep she has had for a long time. They have a private pool in a nicely designed garden area which, while we were there, did not attract too many guests at any one time. The hotel prides itself on its responsible approach to the environment and sustainability to the point of offering guests locally made soaps and conditioners of their choice from a wide selection as you check in. They are then brought on a small tray to your room as a member of staff shows you the way. The one, potential, downside to the hotel, and there is nothing the owners can do about it, is its location. It is positioned at the end of the main street in Les Eyzies on a small roundabout which means that our view from the lovely balcony we had was of cars driving along the roads. It wasn't a very bust area so this didn't affect us negatively but you may wish to ask for a room that overlooks the pool for example as they are away from the road. We did eat in the main restaurant and it was absolutely majestic, why it doesn't carry a Michelin star I do not know, however I will review it separately and not in this post.

We came for dinner as we do every time i am in this area. . The service is impeccable, the staff communicate well and the food is amazing. Also I am vegan and with a couple of days notice prepared me the most incredible vegan feast. Highly recommend .
