Un tres bon accueil d'une jeune femme pourtant seule et apparemment débordée qui a pris le temps de bien tout nous expliquer sur notre séjour..... Une nuit paisible un hôtel très calme tout ce qu'il nous fallait pour récupérer d' une grosse journée de mariage... Et le lendemain matin un petit déjeuner parfaitement organisé auquel il ne manquait rien pour bien se sustenter un grand merci

J’ai hâte d’y revenir

Un site fabuleux. En pleine forêt, avec piscine, restaurant gastronomique, un mobilier et des bâtiment très design. Un lieu destiné au repos. Toilettes déraper, dressing. Juste la baignoire et le robinet peu pratique bien que joli. Manque de nutella au petit déjeuner mais le café est généreux et délicieux, les confitures authentiques et excellentes. J’ai apprécié !

Joli hôtel mais petite chambre....

Joli hôtel en bord de forêt. Une prise de charge pour VE bon signalée pourtant fort utile. Restaurant de bonne qualité. Petite déception sur la chambre dont les dimensions sont celles d'une chambre parisienne. 1m autour du lit..... Finalement au vu de la taille de la chambre, le prix était élevé. Personnel sympathique et professionnel.

Belle découverte!

Excellent hotel pour couple. Nous étions 3, entre amis, et malheureusement, contrairement à notre réservation et à l’information d’Hotels.com (Expedia), ils n’ont pas de chambre pour 3 adultes. Ce n’est qu’une fois sur place qu’on a appris le problème. Heureusement que l’hôtelier, merci à lui, très sympathique et habitué au fait qu’Expedia donne de mauvaises infos, nous a accommodé, et fournit un lit de camp. Pour une nuit on a géré, si on avait dû rester plus ça aurait été compliqué. A noter : la suite junior, que nous avions réservée, est donc faite pour un couple, la salle de bains est grande ouverte sur la chambre, pas d’intimité possible. L’hotel est confortable, déco moderne axée sur le thème de la forêt, qui l’entoure. Le petit dej est très bon et varié (juste une suggestion : offrir la possibilité d’oeufs brouillés :), la salle joliment décorée. Une belle découverte malgré tout!
