This hotel was overall an outstanding experience. The rooms are somewhat quirky but met all of my needs and I had a very good night’s sleep there. My stay included dinner and breakfast. The dining room is lovely with a wonderful view of the garden. It’s obvious that the chef is serious because even though I had the “cheaper” option, my dinner was still better than many other places I have been on my trip. I also found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. In short, I would go out of my way to stay at this hotel again, even for a few nights.

Merci a toutes les equipes pour la qualite des prestations delivrees et de leur gentillesse. Un rafraichissement de la salle de bain ne serait neanmoins pas de trop. Nous n'hesiterons pas a sejourner de nouveau dans cet etablissement a l'occasoon d'un prochain passage dans la region.

A part le professionnalisme et la qualité de la restauration , très deçu du reste ! Une odeur de renfermé nous accueille a l'entrée et au niveau de la chambre réservée , c'est de la publicité mensongère entre celle que l'on choisit en réservant en ligne et celle que l'on nous octroie sur place ,c'est le jour et la nuit ! Pour le prix si onéreux , c'est déplorable. Je ne recommande pas cet établissement ou alors revoir toute l'architecture. Par contre , l'extérieur est très beau et apaisant.

Little gem

The property is very beautiful and full of character and charm. The staff was very friendly and warm. We stayed on the top floor where the rooms are a bit older and could probably use a bit of a refresh but were still comfortable. Air conditioning worked well. Restaurant was very good.

Truly family and pet friendly

What a delightful spot, for us and our furry friend. A truly family and pet friendly hotel, in a small town beside a river. Pretty gardens for a stroll down to the water, before drinks on the terrace and dinner in the bistro garden. Lots of provision for babies and children, including a small changing area with books and toys. There was even a very smart padded bed provided for the dog! Only thing not to like are the paper cups in the bathroom. They may be ‘green’, but I didn’t enjoy drinking from brown cardboard.

Voyage rapide d'affaire

Parking disponible en face de l’hôtel dans un village très calme. Accès difficile avec marches et lourdes portes en verre pour entrer. Accueil sympathique. Pas d'ascenseur pour aller au deuxième étage. Le sol n'est pas très stable, attention au nivellement du plancher à l'étage. Odeur de cuisine à l'entrée de l’hôtel. Attention nous sommes sur un hôtel à plusieurs étoile avec un restaurant haute gamme. La chambre est bien agencée et très jolie mais pas pratique quand on est en voyage d'affaire. Le bureau est étroit et le confort de la chaise à désirer. La salle de bain est un couloir et on se demande si le ménage a été fait avec des cheveux dans les recoins parterre et autour du lavabo et de la baignoire. L'équipement douche est vieux et bon marché. Une boite de mouchoir en papier eco+. Des serviettes super agréables ainsi que le savon et produit douche Nuxe. Le sommier grince. Le matelas est agréable. La couverture en laine indispensable. La qualité du restaurant est agréable mais excessive. Le prix n'est pas justifié. Je suis déçue.

Un bon hôtel globalement

Chambre supérieure spacieuse et agréable mais froide en ce changement de saison. Le lit n’était pas encore équipé de couette ou couverture et j’ai eu très froid, cela m’a réveillée. Sinon c’est un endroit très calme. L’ambiance de l’hôtel et du restaurant invite à la détente et à la lenteur, c’est très agréable lorsque l’on court toute la journée pour le travail. Le repas est divin et le petit-déjeuner est délicieux. L’environnement extérieur est très beau et bucolique. Le personnel est charmant et bienveillant. La literie est de qualité hormis le fait qu’il manque une couette.
