We chose the Cuq en Terrasses for a bit of R and R after our wedding in Ambres, and it was a great decision! This is a lovely, small family run hotel/restaurant which provides a very high quality of hospitality at very reasonable prices. We stayed in one of the suites which is a splendid and spacious room with a lovely little terrace overlooking the view across the valley. There is an incredibly personal touch at the Cuq en Terrasses, the joint owners are always on hand to welcome you or help with anything you may need. They are also highly international and speak multiple languages perfectly (not always a given for the region!) There are a lot of great recommendations for things to do in the local area within the guestbooks in the lounge area, and at the same time it's also a great little place to relax during the daytime in the summer months with a well maintained garden and pool area (it should be noted that the pool was quite chilly!)
Dinners in the Cuq en Terrasses restaurant are truly excellent, with a quality of cuisine aligned with high end restaurants & a wine list which focuses on local produce rather than big producers from other well known regions within France. Dishes are innovative, and although the menu is fairly small, we greatly enjoyed dining there on two of the evenings. We also made the most of the spa facility, using the jacuzzi/sauna privately on one of the evenings, which is a nice additional option if you're looking for that kind of experience. The house itself is charming and historical, maintained brilliantly with plenty of character. The surrounding area is a little remote, so I'd certainly recommend having a car if you are planning a visit as there's not much of note accessible by foot. We will gladly return in the future and just want to say once again a huge thank you to Philippe and the entire team for an excellent stay, just what we needed after a busy wedding week previously!

We chilled out here after a wedding. Andonis ('Android' according to my text predictor!) and Philippe are masters of projecting laid back calm while being completely focused on guest comfort. The hotel and restaurant are both excellent and very good value (especially the wine list and cocktails)

We have just had two nights in beautiful Cuq en Terrasses. Our room was fabulous and the decor just wonderful. We thank our friends the Quinns for introducing us to this place and we will definitely return. We booked the evening meal and each night sat in a beautiful spot and ate delicious food, lovely cocktails and great wine. They happily produced vegan meals for me and they were delicious. It was just what we needed and we loved it. Thanks to Adonis and Philippe for their hospitality, see you again soon we hope.

Our yearly visit for a celebration and the hotel and food were yet again flying the flag for very high standards. The few rooms are quirky but function well, the shutters are easy and the bed v comfortable. The hosts now wait on table and the team in the kitchen deliver beautiful food under Adonis' guidance. Cannot praise it high enough, thanks for making our annual trip so special. Ps breakfast selection is great to!

Four of us stayed for one night en route to the Canal du Midi, what a memorable experience. The building has been restored beautifully and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Cuq-en Terrasse enjoys fabulous views over the surrounding countryside and it is worth exploring the gardens and orchards for the birdlife. The nightingales will deafen you. We enjoyed an outstanding 5-course meal in the restaurant, which was packed with diners from the surrounding areas, we can see why. We were concerned that the establishment had recently acquired new owners, but they could not have been more helpful, knowledgeable, energetic and delightfully humorous. Make sure you get to stay here and make sure you try the Armagnac!

We stayed here two nights and can’t rate this hotel / restaurant highly enough. Charming hosts, beautiful room and excellent dinners rounded off with the hosts’ famous musical entertainment. A real treat.

We found this in a book and booked one night on the way to somewhere else. We loved the first night so much we booked in for a second. We stayed in 2 rooms but personally loved the White Room. It was not huge but has a quaint window overlooking the valley. The location is superb and dinnner on the terrace at night should not be missed. It is hard to decide which was better - the view or the food, both being magnificent. The afternoon by the swimming pool was also very relaxing and the water nice and warm.
This was a highlight of our trip and we would definately go back.

We stayed at Cuq en Terrasses for two nights last summer but could happily have stayed longer. The hotel is elegantly decorated and situated in a wonderful position on a hill with far reaching views. Our room was charming and full of character. You felt very much that you were a guest in a much loved home rather than a hotel. The hosts were very welcoming and professional.
Drinks and dinner on the terrace was beautiful as the sun set. The food was good and the service was excellent. And we both very much enjoyed the hosts singing along on the pianola after dinner!
It is a small hotel but the terraced garden makes it easy to find a quiet spot away from other guests. It certainly lends itself to a romantic break far from the madding crowds. The bill was very reasonable and we felt it was great value for money. We would certainly be happy to return.
