I booked this so-called hotel, because it supposedly accepts pets. Its entry in the Relais du Silence Guide DOES NOT say that pets are excluded from the restaurant. When I enquired, I specifically stressed that it was very important to us that the dogs be allowed in the restaurant. The reply stated that small and medium sized dogs were allowed in. On the basis of all this information, I subsequently made a reservation. HOWEVER... when I took my dogs in to breakfast on the first morning, the owner said that they were not allowed in. I referred to the fact that I had checked with him before booking and been told that they were accepted. He then made a feeble excuse about the lack of space in the room. (At the side of my table there was approximately 36 sq feet of room, part of which was a recess next to a huge fireplace!) He was extremely rude and said "I have told you!" then walked off. He didn't speak to us for 3 days.
The hotel information in the room is basically a load of rules and regulations including a statement that the electricity should not be used for personal items. Hard luck if you have an electric toothbrush, shaver or straighteners! This place is, I think the most unwelcoming accommodation I have ever stayed in and we spent as little time as possible there. I shall certainly never return. This is all the more sad as it is a memebr of the Club Hotelier du Pays de Sarlat whose charter inlcudes the 2 following statements :
"... to make you feel at home" " ...to guarantee...quality for money." HA HA

My wife and I just spent five nights her and loved it. Michel and Josiane were warm and welcoming hosts. She is a fabulous cook. He is gracious and speaks fine English, which is helpful. He was very knowledgeable about the local tourist sites and had good recommendations. Booked us a hot air ballon ride for our first morning. When the WiFi wasn't working on our first day, Michel went to great effort to correct the problem and had it sorted it out by the time we arrived back at day's end. Food and lodging were great. This is the perfect spot if you have come to explore the numerous pre-historic caves in the region and want a quiet place to return to and wake up in each day. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

This was the 2nd hotel of our tandem cycle tour of the Dordogne. After cycling from Montignac, Lascaux (26 hilly miles) on a damp misty day we eventually arrived at Hotel de la Ferme Lamy. This is a very rural location and were pleased to arrive after many climbs and decents. Although not the most ideal day we took advantage of the pool although no sun bathing today. The room and bathroom were excellent. Dinner was served by the hosts. Quality of dinner and breakfast were excellent.

After having been in noisy Paris for a week it was a joy to stay at Ferme Lamy. It is a beautiful spot and absolutely quiet. The new hosts were very warm and accomodating. I was thrilled to finally have a washcloth and the mezzanine worked well for our daughter. My only wish was that they could have served us dinner.
