What a gem!

What a fantastic find! My husband, 14 year old and I were thrilled to fine this place. It’s modern inside a historic monastery. Just beautiful. The pictures don’t do it justice. If you can’t do stairs requests a ground floor room. We definitely would come back. The grounds & views are amazing.
Such gorgeous hydrangeas

Bien mais pas encore parfait

Très beau cadre dans un château joliment restauré malgré des tons un peu ternes dans le restaurant Au niveau du confort il est dommage d’arriver en fin de journée dans une chambre glaciale en novembre alors que le temps est froid et pluvieux Le restaurant était également trop froid J’aurais préféré plus d’explications sur les menus : j’ai choisi les petits farcis et j’ai vu arriver une petite courge farcie de légumes donc un plat végétarien

Exceptional experience

Having been travelling this stay was the absolute highlight of all the hotels we have stayed in, this place is stunning. The weather was dreadful but it did not matter. The grounds are exceptional with stunning views at every step. We had breakfast and whilst not a huge cooked option the rest was quality produce and more than enough for breakfast. We are in the restaurant and went for the tree courses which was exceptional value for money, again quality produce both well cooked and well presented. Two nights was not enough, we loved it. We also travelled with a dog who was welcome in all parts of the Chateau.

Nous avons passé un joli séjour. Le domaine est magnifique. Un havre de verdure. Tout y fait pour accueillir des groupes ou mariage. Cependant il manque de quoi s'asseoir pour encore plus prendre son temps et contempler. Les chambres ne sont malheureusement pas toutes dans le château. Un petit déjeuner un peu décevant.

Site magnifique, petit dejeuner laisse à désirer

Site remarquable dans un décor qui l'est tout autant. Chambre neuve parfaitement décorée, tv grand écran, très bien, literie très confortable, propreté irréprochable. Un bémol, le petit déjeuner .....café mauvais (voir meme très mauvais), à 9h40 alors que le service s'arrete à 10h,il n'y avait plus de confiture, plus de beurre , plus d'oranges pressées, plus de charcuterie, pas de fruits, ni en salade ni meme à l'unité, et lorsque j'en ai demandé on m'a répondu : "il n'y en a plus" .....A 18 euros le petit déjeuner, etre cantonné à manger juste un mini-croissant (excellent au demeurant) c'est dommage et du coup ça fait cher le croissant....

Très beau domaine

Très beau domaine, des petits problèmes à l'arrivée mais vite résolus. La chambre était suffisamment grande, le lit très confortable, juste des mauvaises odeurs dûs à la climatisation. Le restaurant est un peu cher mais très bon. Le petit déjeuner parfait.

Le lieu vaut le détour, pas le service

Le lieu est superbe et bien rénové. Les chambres standard sont très petites dignes d'un hôtel de bas de gamme. Le personnel semble soit dépassé (réception), soit ne pas vraiment prêter attention au fait qu'il y a des clients. Le petit-déjeuner dans la salle de restaurant avec une musique à tue-tête venant de la cuisine n'est pas exactement la définition d'un 4 étoiles...

Super hôtel. Rénovation de très bel qualité avec de beau matériaux. Sans dénaturer le château. Seul petit bémol, notre chambre était un peu petite.

Bon séjour dans l'ensemble. Beaucoup de poussière dans la chambre. Service rapide au restaurant, assiettes plus que légères, les portions laissent à désirer, le personnel manque de professionnalisme et de tenue vestimentaire pour un hotel qui désire être un 4 étoiles
