Let’s start with the positive. This could and should be a 5 star hotel (if it was run properly. The grounds themselves were beautiful. That’s all I can say positive. The staff receptionist Caroline was rude, unprofessional and not a nice person. She rolled her eyes at me because I don’t speak good French First they gave me a horrible ordeal over my service dog staying there even though they say on Expedia service dogs are welcome and exempt from fees. They insisted on charging me until I got Expedia involved. The rooms have no air conditioning, there is no refrigerator to keep anything cold nor any microwave to make anything hot. The neared restaurant is 20 minutes by car and the restaurant at the hotel is closed for dinner Monday and Tuesday and essay overpriced. Because of the lack of food options, I did sign up for their 18 euro breakfast which consisted of rotting fruit, crusty hard cheese and bread that had been sitting out for who knows how long, there was no milk or replenishments, it was absolutely dismal. When I checked in the first thing that happened was Caroline asked for my credit card. No Bonjour, no welcome, she was eating a sandwich and reeked of cigarettes. What a terrible shame for what could actually overcome the isolation due to the beauty of the hotel itself. Caroline at reception ruined the entire experience for us.

A very fine hotel, our room was in an anexe stable block, access from the outside up a spiral staircase, not ideal. Large room & bathroom, very dated but very comfortable. Fantastic grounds with loads of space. Very smart restaurant with typically French food. Very helpful staff.

Stayed here for 1 night in late September 2025. The hotel is stunning, with fantastic grounds and gardens. The breakfast was fantastic, and we didn’t expect the chocolate brownie, which was a nice treat. The evening fine dining was expensive but delicious, and the ales and beers from vexin were top notch. The grounds around the hotel feel very safe, and we were able to store 2 bicycles in an outside storage facility, which was secure.

The grounds of the property are very pretty and we liked how the room was decorated, but, unfortunately, this didn't make up for the negatives. The bathroom was great, but the bed sheets had some stains and quite a few hairs, the carpet was also dirty in places. Additionally, we felt as if the staff member who checked us in could have been friendlier/more polite - they answered the phone in the middle of us talking, with no apology (some staff members were nicer though).

We stayed at this property specifically because there was a restaurant that was supposed to be very good. We had been traveling for two weeks and didn’t want to drive anywhere. However, upon check in we were told the restaurant was closed for a private event and dining in was not possible. We had to drive to a small town nearby for dinner. The room was sufficient but there were a number of items which included no instructions, such as towel warmer, skylight window that was open and we had to search for the remote to close it. There were a few other annoyances. We just didn’t feel value for what we paid. If we had known we couldn’t have dinner there, we would have stayed somewhere else. Plus we had to leave at 7:30 to catch our flight at CDG and no breakfast was available. All other places we stayed had breakfast at 7:00 a.m.

So beautiful, I can't say enough good things about this hotel. Loved our cute room in one of the other buildings, over a bridge with a beautiful small river. The grounds are gorgeous. The bed was comfy, the breakfast was delightful. I think the gal at the desk was named Maev. Very helpful and sweet. They set the bar high for the rest of our trip. But made our first night in France memorable.

Stunning stay in glorious surroundings

We had an amazing 2 night stay, with a whole day to visit Monets house and garden in Giverny which far exceeded our expectations. The hotel was quirky, and relaxing set in superb countryside. The chef was excellent- I recommend his langoystinr dish which I believe should be his signature dish.

Quiet and quirky, with great chef.

We spent 4 nights here, chosen at random as close to Giverney. A small, family run place with an aspiring chef. We tried out the 6 course evening menu, which was excellent, even better when we found out at check out that it was part of a free night deal (Tuesday/Wednesday nights). Pool was small, but great to chill as was empty! Room was in a separate building, a short stroll from the main building, more expensive rooms are in the main Chateau. Spacious and modern with good size bathroom.

Peaceful location

The main house and grounds are very beautiful, and the peacock and peahen walking around were quite the surprise. The room we stayed in was in a renovated stable- not what we were expecting, but it was comfortable and quiet. Minor complaints: the shower did not drain very well at all, there was no ventilation/fan. Major complain: the wifi/internet connection was extremely slow. (We were informed by hotel staff that this is a problem for the entire town and not something fixable by the hotel.)

Charming Northern France Hotel near Giverny

This is a gem of a hotel. The setting is pastoral and beautiful. The grounds are immaculate and peaceful. The room was exceedingly comfortable (although, of course, somewhat small by American standards but large by European), charming, with an excellent en suite bathroom. The hotel restaurant was superb and, although expensive, well worth it -- both the food and the attentive service. I would stay here again, and would highly recommend it to any friend.

Beautiful Garden Hotel

My husband and I had an amazing stay at this hotel. It is located near many castles you can visit. The room was clean, large, and very detailed with a coffee machine, cookies, and double sinks and private toilet in the bathroom. The old manor house, separate from the main chateau, felt like it came directly out of Pride and Prejudice. A small creek with a walking bridge takes you to the manor house. Out the window you can see the surrounding gardens, listen to the creek, and hear the church bells ring from around the corner. After a busy day of sightseeing, this was the perfect location to relax.

We did not eat at the restaurant due to some mediocre reviews. But don't let that keep you from staying at this lovely hotel!!!

La gestion de la relation clientèle est déplorable. J'entends qu'il puisse s'agir d'un hôtel économique sans véritable management, du moins nous l'avons constaté, mais il y a tout de même un minimum à assurer quand on est professionnels de l'hôtellerie. Aucune gestion de l'urgence, pas de solutions trouvées/livrés à nous-même, et la direction ne répond plus aux emails une fois la région quittée. J'espère qu'il n'y a aura pas d'imprévus à votre séjour, car ils ne savent pas le gérer, ni même l'assumer.
