The staff here are really fantastic. Excellent communication prior to our arrival and they allocated the room early and left out key in a keysafe for our later arrival. The room was very comfortable and lovely and warm when it was storm Benjamin outside! The bathroom was very clean with a lovely hot shower. We enjoyed the breakfast overlooking the airfield prior to our departure. This hotel is very convenient for the motorway and local area. We will definitely be back as this is an ideal stop for our regular journey from the UK to the Dordogne.

Great overnight stop after a late afternoon train from Folkestone.
Plenty of free parking on site.
Room are basic but perfectly adequate for a night stop on route to Southern France.
Has a kettle and tea and coffee facilities.
Nice seating area both inside and out for an evening drink.
Had a meal in the restaurant which was delicious and well priced. The bar staff and waitress were attentive and engaging.
Good night sleep before heading off for an early start so cannot comment on the breakfast.
Would definitely stay here again.

Such an unusual hotel. What a wonderfully warm welcome even though we arrived about an hour earlier than the advised check-in time. Beautifully clean rooms. Compact but everything you could possibly need. The only disappointment was the bar and restaurant beong closed on our visit (Monday). Apparently this is the case on Sundays and Mondays although that was not clearly advertised on the site I booked through. Would still highly recommend.

Airport motel

We enjoyed one night here. They fed us upon arriving at 8:30 in the evening, as well, as a basic continental breakfast in the morning. Best yogurt I believe I’ve ever had. Did not notice noisy planes at all. No black out curtains and windows face the rising sun. Enjoyed a morning of a hot air balloon taking off. Nice folks here. Good travel stop.

Have stayed in this hotel 4 times now and will return. Just a couple of suggestions to improve things a little.
It would be good to have a change of restaurant menu as this seems to stay exactly the same, another vegetarian option other than salad would be a good idea. Extra pillows in the bedroom would also be good. Everything else about the stay was perfect.

L’aerodrome stands out from the bland corporate chains particularly by way of it’s unique heritage as a working aérodrome. The decor quirkily reflects this heritage in the public areas and the motel style bedrooms. A pleasant surprise, for a French establishment, was the limited vegetarian options for dînner. The serveuse and patron were both helpful and friendly for the English and Dutch visitors.The only surprise was the extra €1.40 tax surcharge not included , but pretty insignificant in relation to all the positives, particularly the comfortable beds.

Great overnight stop on the way to Calais

We had an overnight stay on the way from the Dordogne Valley to Calais. On arrival we found that our rooms were both doubles although I had booked 2 twin rooms. The hotel manager immediately changed the rooms to twins and added extra Eddy g without any issues. Although there was a language barrier (my French is ok but his English was limited) we managed to communicate ok. We also had a lovely chat venting meal in the restaurant. The food and service was very good. Our continental breakfast in the morning was also very good and fresh bread, pastries with cheese, jam and fruit. Highly recommend for a great comfortable overnight stopover with really good food and service.

A quirky find

Great find for a stop over. We found this while looking for somewhere to stay for one night to break our journey on our way back to the UK. Comfy bed, clean and tidy, good sized room and bathroom with a separate loo. A couple of things that niggled were there was only one pillow each which isn't a deal breaker, it's rather that we prefer two, and there was a drains type smell in the room and bathroom which, after some ventilation and a liberal splosh of scented bleach, soon had things as they should be (in our opinion!). Restaurant is good; it's not going to blow your socks off, but the food was cooked well and the service was good. Be aware, the chap who runs the restaurant doesn't speak English so you're not a French speaker, or happen to stumble across someone staying at the same as you that is, things may get a bit lost in translation! Would stay there again.

We used this as a stop over while on a short road trip. What a find, the room were extremely clean and functional.
There is ample free parking. There are also three electric car charges although we did not use this so cannot comment on the efficiency or price.
The restaurant wasn't opened the night we stayed but the owner Paul Henry contacted us by mobile a few days before to let us know and offered us the option of a surprise two course meal which consisted of fish and vegetables - which was delicious with a desert.
The bar area is quirky and aeroplane related. The staff and locals are very friendly.
Breakfast was included and consisted of hot /cold drinks, yoghurts, cheese, bread, pastries and jams.
Would definitely stay here again - keep up the fantastic work Paul henry.

Not a great experience - reception was not open at the specified time and we had to wait 90 minutes. Then there was an issue with a double-booked room (luckily this was resolved). Dinner was tasty but the menu was very limited and it took over 30 minutes to provide the menu, let alone take the order. Lack of air-conditioning was a disadvantage on a warm night. Breakfast was below average.

We stayed on a Tuesday night and what wasn't made known to us was that the restaurant is closed on a Tuesday evening. As guests we were offered a single choice menu which was adequate. The rooms were recently decorated, however they were not cleaned thoroughly, with plastic wrappings from the beakers on the bathroom floor and hairs etc left on the tiles in the shower. The dining room floor had not been swept and the entrance lobby was full of dried flower residue, which had not been cleared up after the flower arrangement had been updated.
Breakfast was extremely poor value and very sparse.
The staff on the other hand were very polite and happy and extremely helpful.

Lived to tell the tale, just about !

Freezing , arrived in just 16 degrees and rain for a 2 night stay-breaking the journey from Bordeaux, the room was bleak with no heating whatsoever, had to get straight into bed to get warm (just one lightweight summer quilt) sadly we had hoped to go for a pizza in Abbeyville -shame . Next day was sunny and a bit warmer so went to Abbeyville -nice day -until we got back to room -absolutely freezing again ! I went to reception and complained and was given two extra quilts not really what I had in mind, I thought they might have switched on the heating ! And to add insult to injury to top it all, on departure my wife went in to pay at reception while I loaded car, and was overcharged ! - she didn't realise until looking at receipt 100 miles down the road, too far to go back ! Hotels.com quoted us £152 -total amount. We paid £161. -( 2 x 80 ) + 2 x .50c city tax -total £161. So in summary not only did we have a horrendous 2 night stay -we were overcharged, so different to other stays in Abbeyville , disappointed doesn't begin to describe the experience - avoid at all costs there are some lovely places to stay in this town.

Beautiful location overlooking Lake Windermere. Very clean and comfortable room. Cooked breakfast poor; brought to you 10-15 minutes after ordering and the bacon was hard, as 'though it had been cooked much earlier and kept warm. Not nice. Same for scrambled egg, which came with very cold (straight from the 'fridge) smoked salmon. 14 choices of teas, yet no choice of coffee, only that which was brought to you, which I thought was insipid. Dinner menu was okay, but same choices day in, day out! Overall, a nice overnight stay, but for longer (we stayed 4 nights) the food needs to be improved.
