In many ways this is wonderful: a glorious rural hamlet off the beaten track, a picturesque old mill everyone wants to photograph, a huge bedroom in a quiet annex, a quality restaurant with some good dishes and some terrific people working. Well worth the effort of finding - and nearby Ferte Bernard was an interesting detour too, The pool was too cold for use in September, but in summer would be a good facility, as there is nothing adjacent except quiet strolls if you don't want the spa at the uphill chateau.

Despite critical suggestions in previous reviews, disappointments persist. There really should be at least a kettle etc in bedrooms (the only hotel in a dozen used on our trip which did not provide one). Breakfast was weak for the potential of such a good restaurant. There was an overnight business event there when we stayed: staff dealt with its disruption very well, but we might have been warned it would affect use of hotel spaces such as the terrace (where no refreshment service was offered out of dining hours).

The location is fabulous. The buildings are very characterful. There is plenty of outside space to sit by the river. Beds are very comfortable, our room, in the watermill, was very spacious, light and airy with good views over the stream. Staff are very friendly. Food was good (but see below). There is a pool, we didn't get time to use it but out looks nice and also a sauna/steam room are available - this was another €28, which we didn't feel was worth it for the 1 night we were there

Our room did not have a shower, just a bath. Service for drinks was a little slow. Dinner was expensive - the menu fixe was €49, fair enough, but that only included one choice of each course. The other choices included a hefty supplement, such as €20 for rack of lamb and €10 for Millefeuille. The food was very good, bar the Millefeuille which was not the best I've had (overcooked) and not worth the extra money.

Lovely historic chateau in beautiful countryside surrounded by its own large walled and gated estate. Whilst I can see why some reviewers might call it shabby to us it was more a delightful, authentic, quirky ancestral home. Our standard double room (30 Heloise) in the main chateau was a good size and unlike the communal hallways and drawing room was modern with a large ensuite shower in an area open to the bedroom. The ensuite toilet was in a separate very small room. Very easy carparking within the inner walled area directly outside the chateau. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The restaurant was situated in the separate mill buildings, a short walk away from the chateau, which were also characterful with large seated terraces overlooking the river, garden and outside swimming pool. Both evening dinner (reasonable choice from set menu) and breakfast (served to table) were prebooked and very good. The wine list was large and although all drinks are on the expensive side there was a good range of prices to suit most budgets.

1) The walk from the chateau to separate restaurant and pool in the mill buildings, whilst relatively short (around 400 yards), is rather steep and the return uphill journey might not suit the less fit. 2) The separate ensuite toilet was in a very small room, more like cupboard, and people larger than me ( I am 5'10'') would struggle to close the door.

Old world charm with modern details. Delicious food served by friendly and very hard-working staff. All staff were welcoming and engaging. The outdoor pool was clean and very refreshing.

We had two rooms. The superior room was excellent. The smaller one was a bit pinched, eg nowhere to hang bath towels. On a hot day it was hard to keep the rooms cool… ceiling fans would have helped.

Idyllic surroundings and wonderful to stay in a beautiful Chateau with a nice breakfast. The spa nextdoor has very good facilities. The onsite restaurant (250m down the road) was very cosy with great food and wine and the owners and staff were very professional and accommodating.

Our double bed at the Chateau had 2 single mattresses (including one with a plastic / noisy mattress cover) which was uncomfortable. The staff at the spa were not particularly friendly and we were disappointed with our massages and reflexology sessions.

Amazing location and facilities. Very friendly and helpful staff. We will definitely try to visit again, although next time we will ask to stay at the castle 👑💪🏆. Well done people, everything was exceptional. Would be nice to rent a bike from the property.

This is a beautiful location, cute little hamlet set in epic Normandy countryside. The hotel itself is geared to pleasure - excellent food, really excellent, beautiful grounds and really friendly staff. There is also a very high end spa to boot. The place would be great for an indulgent long weekend. Would also be a great wedding/party venue. The rooms are fine, not exceptional, but clean and comfortable. The bathroom was a little disappointing in terms of being quite no frills.

The shear enthousiasm of both Matthieu and Rita was overwhelming. We will be back!

no improvements. keep being the fantastic hosts that you are! a small detail is that we wanted to eat at the location, but they did not receive our request on time. so next time we were told that ringing them is always better. but the suggestion to eat at the local Italian restaurant made up for it. the atmosphere there was wonderful. no haute cuisine, but good Italian food!

Lovely quiet location,authentic traditional French hotel with access to a beautiful Spa and pool. Gorgeous French food. Excellent value for the quality provided.

Nothing

I stayed in the chateau, which is an elderly and grand old building. It’s not the Hilton - and so much better because of it. Quite unique.
