La vie de château
Pros:

La vie de château, le temps d'une nuit, vaut vraiment la peine. Le prix est un peu élevé, si l'on considère que l'on ne passe pas des heures indéterminées dans la chambre, mais entre l'accueil chaleureux du personnel, le cadre magnifique et la qualité du petit déjeuner, très fourni en produits de qualité, tout devient adéquat.

Cons:

Le seul petit bémol est que la chambre, malgré un chauffage branché à 23 degrés, n'a fait que 18 degrés durant tout le séjour. Heureusement que les couettes étaient chaudes.

Charming, beautiful room, a bit pricey to eat
Pros:

I thought my room was absolutely beautiful and so comfortable. My parents wasn't quite as nice but still really lovely. The experience was overall very comfortable and it was totally worth the one night stay.

Cons:

Only stair access, but that is common and as it is an older building you can't expect it. The take away coffee in the morning was way too expensive. Two tiny coffees for 10 franc was ridiculous. The restaurant is too expensive and limited if you only want the al a carte menu so we didn't eat there. We ate down the road and it was great.

Merveilleux séjour pour fêter les 90 ans de ma maman. On reviendra!
Pros:

L’accueil sympathique , la chambre de luxe spacieuse avec une literie très qualitative, la baignoire ouverte sur la chambre, le petit mot d’accueil personnalisé avec bouquet de fleurs. Les espaces communs feutrés, joliment décorés et conviviaux pour prendre l’apéritif. La salle de restaurant agréablement tamisée et surtout le repas avec la formule et menu surprise carte blanche digne d’un restaurant gastronomique. Les plats étaient succulents et délicats avec des parfums qui explosent en bouche! Félicitations au chef cuisinier! Le domaine est magnifique.

Cons:

Rien en particulier.

Établissement très correct mais nuit très inconfortable et incertaine
Pros:

Le lieu est agréable. Il a été rénové. Dommage que les salles de bains soient à l’intérieur de la chambre car cela dénature le cachet d’origine. Il aurait été mieux de transformer une chambre entière et faire 2 salle de bains pour servir 2 chambres . Le personnel est très bien ainsi que la restauration

Cons:

Le lit est épouvantable. 2 lits rapprochés qui sont en pente vers une rigole au centre. Matelas défoncé et les oreillers n’ont pratiquement pas de plumes. Ces lits ne sont pas à la hauteur du prestige de l’établissement
