Un petit séj our au paradis, tant niveau ambiance que dans l’assiette.
Pros:

Le cadre, la décoration originale et soignée. La présence d’oiseaux, l’immersion en pleine nature avec tout confort et un luxe subtil. La gentillesse du personnel et l’excellente table qu’offre le Chef Guerin.

Un merveilleux moment, où le temps s’arrête, une bulle d’air revitalisante.
Pros:

Excellent accueil. Très bel établissement dans un magnifique cadre bucolique. Le jardin est superbe et très reposant. Dîner et petit déjeuner excellent, produits sélectionnés et préparés avec passion pour le plus grand plaisir de nos papilles. Le dîner en 6 temps est très complet, recherché et délicieux. Les explications sont intéressantes, et le personnel très sympathique et passionné. Un merveilleux moment, où le temps s’arrête, une bulle d’air revitalisante.

Cons:

Rien.

A most unusual gem in a very peaceful location.
Pros:

This proved a very quirky hotel, completely bird-themed. The food and staff at dinner were exceptional and the grounds were delightful.

Cons:

Our duplex suite was very comfortable but a hand-basin in the downstairs toilet and another toilet in the large bathroom upstairs would have been useful.

Lovely hotel, avoid at all cost the rooms above the kitchen as very noisy.
Pros:

Hotel is amazing, stunning setting. Staff are very friendly and provide fantastic service.

Cons:

DO NOT get the room above the kitchen, it is exceptionally noisy and you wont get to sleep before midnight. For a hotel that sells on the basis of how quiet it is, this was very disappointing.

Great accommodation and a nice restaurant with high quality food and a lovely garden
Pros:

Quiet and peaceful. Great accommodation. Lovely garden in the restaurant to chill and walk around in. Restaurant had a really nice atmosphere and the food was of high quality. Service was also of a high quality

Cons:

Unfortunately too many desserts at the end of a nice dinner. Also just to point out that Veal is Beef. Our accommodation was great except that the bed and shower were on the upper floor but the toilet was on the ground floor.
