"Nous avons séjourné 5 nuits dans la maison d’hôtes de la Prison. Nous avons été émerveillés par la beauté de l’établissement. Nous étions dans la chambre Futur Antérieur. Cette chambre est très belle et d’une propreté irréprochable. Chaque jour, nous avons eu un petit déjeuner copieux autour d’une table conviviale. Nous remercions notre hôte pour sa gentillesse et son accueil. Merci encore et au plaisir de se revoir pour un prochain tournoi. Séjour du 3 au 8 mars 2026."

"Expérience exceptionnelle. Arrivés en fin de matinée sur notre étape du GR65 à Espalion, nous avons eu la chance de découvrir ce lieu un peu par hasard, recommandé avec insistance par d’autres marcheurs croisés sur le chemin. Et clairement, l’adresse mérite largement de s'y arrêter. De l’extérieur, rien ne laisse vraiment présager ce que l’on découvre une fois la porte passée. L’intérieur est décoré avec énormément de goût, avec une vraie cohérence et un sens du détail qui se ressent..."
