le Bellerive - Peyrat-le-Château

The hotel was in a great location over the beautiful lake. we had a room on the top floor that had a private balcony and probably gave the best views. the owners were very friendly and helpful with suggestions of places to visit in. the opposite they were most accommodating and they felt nothing was too much annoyed. we were only 3 nights, but would like to come back a week and explore the opposite.

Very simple and not fresh home prepared food, too expensive, not value for money Disappointing especially after reafing other reviews!

Thoroughly enjoyed several meals at La Bellerive during our recent holiday in Peyrat. The hotel and restaurant are run by a very pleasant English family and while the menu is a little limited, the food offered during our visits was always excellent plus our...daughter loved the home cooked chicken nuggets (a pleasant change from the steak hache served in most other places in France) Would recommend the Bellerive Burger plus the mussels as a starter were divine.

On a Tuesday there is little choice of where to eat in Peyrat le Chateau. We went to the Bellerive and as it 'specializes ' in burgers ordered a burger each. It was the worst burger I have ever been served with. The host is very...chatty and pleasant but that does not make up for very poor food, burger patties that look like they have been cooked from frozen (ie boiled) or chicken that was crumbed, pressed chicken and not the advertised fillet.

My wife and I were disappointed with our evening meal, half the plate was taken up by salad and we noticed other diners leaving some of theirs, and I suspect the dessert was shop bought not home made as we were told. We didn't consider...it good value for what it cost, we had better meals for the same price and less during our holiday. The owner and his daughter were very friendly and accommodating and the position of the hotel overlooking a lake was excellent, and it was within walking distance of our chambre d'hote but the following night we drove to Lac Vassiviere and had a much better meal at the Logis hotel
