"Everything about this hotel (room, amenities, staff, service) was exceptional! I came for one night and spent three ... and if possible I would have stayed for weeks!
Jeremie, at the desk and in the dining room, was perfect: he made me feel as if I were in my own chateau!

"I have been spending around 150 nights a year in hotels for many years. I rarely write reviews - saving them for when a place truly deserves it, for good, or bad reasons.
This one is good - in every way.
This - is an absolutely wonderful place - oozing high class character from every corner and pore. The care that has been taken to preserve large elements of buildings that are 500 years old - while mixing modern amenities and comforts with it all is exceptional. I honesty cannot imagine what it has cost to do - but all of it is money well spent.
My schedule did not work for eating dinner there in the evening - but the early breakfast - including plenty taken from their own garden - that I needed was accommodated in a wonderful way by the unceasingly helpful, friendly and just lovely Floraine (who did a great job also by phone and email of getting me organised remotely for my late arrival too). While praising the staff - I cannot leave out Elise either - who was still around to accommodate my late arrival and show me to my room and give me a small tour of the substantial communal areas (good job too - I might not have bothered with a torch and ending up taking an unplanned bath in the duckpond).
The location and the place itself are great - the staff are the icing on a cake that was exceptional in the first place.
Only (very minor) downside is the limited hours that reception is manned - but Floraine and Elise went out of their way to make sure that would not be a problem"
"There is nothing not to like about this clean, stylishly designed and comfortable hotel with a very good attached restaurant. I would stay again without hesitation. Good value for money too."
