Excellent facilities and a short drive or 20/30 minute walk into Pont-Audemer.

We will certainly be visiting again in the future!

Excellent Hotel

This place is absolutely stunning. Excellent staff, professional and very friendly. The swimming pools are heaven, so refreshing. Dinner on the patio was excellent. Rooms are small but all you need.
Breakfast is also excellent.
Highly recommend this property for anyone visiting the Normandie region.
Tres Magnifique.

Full of genuine character and charm, so relaxing

I adored Belle Isle sur Risle. It is such a relaxing place, The staff were so welcoming and accommodating (with the exception of one or two members who were less than friendly, but they were easily outshone by the others who were exceptionally kind.) When we discovered that they were fully booked for massages, they went out of their way to hire a second masseur so we would not be disappointed. I have read some reviews which said the hotel was tired and in need of refurbishment, but this is an authentic French country house and so, whilst not pristine throughout, has all the charms which come with that and for me make it preferable to somewhere more corporate and less personal. We didn't get chance to eat in the restaurant but did have breakfast. As we only wanted coffee and a croissant, it worked out very expensive so we only went once, but there was a full array of cooked dishes, including dauphinoise potatoes and champagne on offer so that would justify the price. We stayed a week and found it was perfect to spend some days relaxing by the 2 pools, having our massages, canoeing on the river or using the bikes to go into Pont-Audemer (which is a really charming place with plenty of shops and places to eat). The location is wonderful for exploring Normandy and beyond so on other days we took off and saw the delights of Honfleur, Bayeux and Giverny, all with in really easy reach.

Disappointing accommodation

We had seen the pictures and description of the bedrooms on the website and it all looked good.
Unfortunately we found the reality to be different.
We had chosen a room with air-conditioning but our allocated room (albeit with a balcony and a great view of the garden) was hot and had no air-conditioning. After some discussion we chose to move to an alternative room on the top floor, which did have ac. Although this was working when we checked into the room it stopped cooling during the night - we were told that it had recently been repaired but obviously, the repair couldn't have been done properly. Bedroom decor was very basic and could have been far better, especially as this was not a cheap stay. The bathroom was interesting. There was a bath with a shower attachment although it would have been impossible to stand and shower in the bath due to the sloping roof. I reckon that you would have to have been a contortionist to have been able to use the bidet conventionally. due to its positioning in a corner of the room.
We did have dinner, and this was the bright spot of the stay, along with a particularly good bottle of burgundy. The decor of the dining room was generally good although it was spoilt but what looked like a shower curtain fixed to one of the walls (see photo below). Once seen it couldnt be unseen.
Location was very good but we won't be visiting again in a hurry - the hotel needs to upgrade its rooms and for the description on the website to be more accurate.

This is a delightful 19th century mansion in beautiful forest/parkland on an island. Our stay coincided with a heatwave so we really appreciated the tree cover. We were upgraded to a garden room which had every facility we needed. The food in the restaurant was exceptional. Madame Yazbeck could not have been more helpful. Our only regret was our stay was only one night. We will be back!

Peacefully situated hotel in unique setting

Stayed for a Sunday night bed and breakfast, and did not take advantage of the Spa facility on site. On arrival we were loudly instructed that we had wrongly parked the car in the staff area although that was not clearly marked. On looking at the menu prices for Dinner we decided to dine elsewhere.. Rooms very spacious en suite, although no elevator to upper floors due to age of the property. Some rooms in a separate annexe within the grounds..

Lovely place and people, just a bit old

We had a lovely stay, and the people working at the hotel made us feel welcome and were incredibly helpful despite me no speaking a word of French. The place is beautiful, and there is plenty of room for parking and two lovely swimming pools. However, the hotel is a bit old and it doesn't have AC (despite it saying that on the listing) so it was a bit noisy sleeping with the windows open when cars started leaving in the morning. Also, the WiFi signal was erratic at best so I wouldn't choose it if we need internet to work remotely or something.

Charming hotel in a nice location

Arrived with my wife for a 2 day short break. Warm greeting on arrival by Tim, who spoke excellent English and gave us an informed tour of the hotel. We stayed in a Romantic room, which was of a good size, comfortable bed and spacious shower. The quality of food in the restaurant was excellent, matched by the service. Breakfast was good, you pre-ordered the day before and it was served fresh and prompt. The grounds of the hotel are lovely. Our only complaint during our stay was the water pressure from the shower. However this in no way spoiled our stay. Nice indoor pool and outdoor pool was of good size, unfortunately the weather was such that we did not se it, Would stay again if ever in the area.

Bucolic luxury by the river

The two of us and our 9 year old daughter had a great 4 day ay at this hotel. The setting next to the river with a lovely garden was very beautiful and calm. Not very close to tourist sites, but close enough for day trips (we went to Caen, Deauville, and Rouen). Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was delicious - though as I suppose befits a high quality resort it was not cheap, so we had 2 great dinners but skipped breakfast and ate out on day trips the other two nights. Pools indoor and out nice - our 9 year old particularly enjoyed the jets on the indoor pool.

So disappointing

Wonderful staff trying really hard except for the lady at checkout who did not even ask how our stay was. So great staff but a sad sad hotel overdue for refurbishment (by a decade). Hotel vastly overpriced ......about 50% of what we paid would be OK. Cuisine is fairly good but dessert is clearly by a cook not a patissier. NOT a four star hotel........not even a pen and paper in the room to fill in the breakfast form (compulsory) to save cost. A bit like everything in this hotel. An injection of energy and investment in this place could make it so good......

A lovely stay for the price.

The hotel is on a picturesque island in the middle of the river Risle. There is a large industrial area just the other side of the river, but it's hardly noticeable as the gardens have got large trees all around the waters edge.
Very pretty and original building inside, and also in a pretty good state of repair.
Half board dinners were really good (4 courses). Drinks a bit expensive however, but I guess that's expected from a hotel. Grand piano made a really good atmosphere when one of the guests played it. Shame there's no resident player to play during dinner!
Room 6 was one of the only standard rooms with a balcony - very pleasant.
Outdoor pool could do with a cover and being netted more often, as it was full of leaves (so we didn't swim in it). Indoor pool all fine but not big enough to actually do any meaningful swimming.
Staff all very friendly and helpful.
Pont Audemer a pretty enough town. Worth going to the market on Monday mornings.
All in all a very pleasant stay. At the price we paid for room+half board we were very happy.

Lovely but expensive

The hotel is in a lovely location and the staff are friendly. However, there are touches missing which I would overlook at a cheaper hotel. The meal was excellent but my blue fillet was served rare, the wine wasn't decanted, we were not offered bread or serviettes until we asked for them. Lots of niggles but on the plus side, the heated indoor pool was lovely. The outdoor pool too although the entrance was via the breakfast room! Not fun in your robe! We were upgraded for free because the 3rd floor rooms were too hot but our upgraded room was in a complex a little way outside the hotel. As I say - lovely but for that price I want more. And I don't want breakfast to cost €18 either!!

Ah, Pont-Audemer… son charme, ses canaux, et cet hôtel resté coincé dans une faille temporelle quelque part entre 1987 et la série “Dynastie”. On sent que la rénovation a coûté cher à l’époque — probablement en pots de peinture “rose bonbon sucé” et “saumon indigeste n°42”.
Depuis, rien n’a bougé, sauf peut-être la poussière et les illusions. La déco, c’est un peu comme si on avait voulu faire du Ravel mais qu’on avait fini en Richard Clayderman. Et justement, un pianiste s’y acharne sur du Johnny Hallyday revisité façon Debussy sous tranxène. Les oreilles pleurent, les âmes fuient.
Côté confort, les sommiers sont de vieux soldats des années Mitterrand : ils grincent, ils ploient, mais ils tiennent encore debout, presque par fierté. Les fauteuils du salon, quant à eux, semblent conçus pour tester la gravité : impossible de s’asseoir sans finir par terre, un genou en moins.
En résumé : une expérience immersive dans ce qu’était la notion du “bon goût” en 1987.
Pour le reste, libre à vous de dépenser une fortune pour un séjour au musée de la moquette d’époque et du kitsch certifié.

Bonjour,
Je suis frustré de ce sejour. On parle d'un hotel 4 étoiles et j'arrive le soir.... quelle vétusté !! On se croirait 30 ou 40 ans en arrière. Des toiles d'araignées, des araignées.
Attention, les prix du mini bar sont bel et bien affichés mais alors un mini bar vide, qul honte.
Les chaises, je vous ai dit 30 ou 40 ans, désolé je me suis trompé de 20 ou 30 de plus encore.
Rien qui ne soit à l'aise. Et je vous passe l'odeur du moisi, du renfermé.
Bref, que dire encore.
Je ne vous cache pas que j'avais ensuite peur de rentrer dans la/les piscine/s.
Et surtout, en partant on vous reclame encore la taxe de sejour.... mais quel sejour !!!!
J'en ai glissé qq mots à l'accueil mais .... même pas un ... oups, c'est un loupé, ou on s'excuse!
Rien de tout ça.
