My husband booked us a surprise weekend here, staying in a Junior Suite for two nights. We arrived late, but were given a friendly welcome, and enjoyed a late night glass of wine on the terrace. The next day I was able to fully appreciate the divine location. Cottage Bise is situated in the middle of a small bay on... More

We stayed in a suite with lake view (Room No 8 I think) for 5 days in the second week of July 2012. Generally Talloires is a very quiet spot but Bastille Day night is anything but! The view from the room was spectacular and the suite had plenty of room. The layout was slightly unusual in that the toilet... More

I feel that Mr. 900cc from London ( review posted 6th July) has hit the nail on the head with his very astute review. We stayed at the hotel 21 years ago on our honeymoon and been going there more or less once a year for our anniversary dinner ever since. Many of our friends and family have also stayed... More

What a find this hotel is. We were lucky enough to get the last room they had available, which presumably meant it was the least good in the hotel, and it was still excellent - large, light and with a lovely view. The service is friendly and always ahead of you - the barman remembered our pre-dinner order, the waiter... More

As other people have said, perfect location, great view. We booked last minute for 2 nights and got the last room available, room 1, first floor. Actually a reasonable size, not huge but enough space, certainly not cramped, newly decorated. Large bathroom, all marble, very nice. A decent sink with good lighting and plenty of space for the toiletries, which... More

Your first impression of Le Cottage is wondering why you've never been here before... Set on the undeveloped waterfront of Talloires on the side of Lake Annecy that you never knew about, it's a very welcome sight after a long drive. Tables are set under the trees overlooking the lake with boats and pedaloes tied up to the jetty. A... More

It was the end of a 3week holiday in France mainly in Chateaux & Relais Hotels in the south and to end it in the perfectly located Cottage Bis overlooking the beautiful Lake nr..Annecy was just right. The first of many good impressions was the personal welcome from the owners M.Jean Claude and Madam Bize ,we were impressed with the... More

I spent several days at Le Cottage in May, as part of a group of approximately 20 people who were in Talloires for a meeting. This was my third visit, and the entire experience was excellent. Particularly impressive was the quality of the food and service, even when serving a large group. M. and Mme. Bize are incredibly hospitable and... More

This really is a great hotel in the best location around lake Annecy. Talloires is a lovely little backwater in an area which has recently become much more developed since I was last there some 10 years before. The grounds of Le Cottage give it a very open feel and it has a unbeatable terrace overlooking the lake where you... More
