Review by hotel critic
I recently had the pleasure of spending a few nights at Le Tonnelier, nestled in the heart of Bulle. As a wildlife conservationist, I often seek out experiences that allow me to connect with both nature and local culture, and this charming hotel did not disappoint. The rooms, though compact, were immaculately clean and featured comfortable amenities, including a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom stocked with complimentary toiletries. We particularly enjoyed our mornings here; the à la carte breakfast offered a delightful start to the day and was a great value for the quality provided. What truly elevated our stay was the restaurant and bar downstairs, where the atmosphere was inviting and the food was delicious, showcasing local flavors that echoed the essence of the region. I also appreciated the ski storage for those interested in winter sports, as it allowed us to enjoy the nearby slopes hassle-free after a day of exploration. The location was a true asset; just a short walk from the train station, it made our excursions to picturesque spots like Gruyere remarkably easy. If you’re looking for a blend of comfort, convenience, and a taste of local culture, I wholeheartedly recommend Le Tonnelier—I'll surely return on my next adventure!
