A lovely property run by gracious and attentive hosts. We were very happy with our spacious, very clean and comfortable room. We appreciated the off-street private parking as well. Would definitely stay here again.
Great staff, Richard was friendly and knowledgeable and very helpful. It was nice there was an elevator for our luggage! Walking distance to the Royal Chateau and dining. Had a great meal at Chez Bruno.
This is a delightful property and the owners are personable and helpful. There is private off street parking. The location was excellent for walking the city.
The continental breakfast was simple, but very nice.
The room was spacious, clean, comfortable and quiet.
We throughly enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
The hotel was conveniently located to downtown shopping and dining, easy walk from the train station. The staff was incredibly welcoming, kept our luggage while we toured the area before check-in, and served a nice breakfast. Our room was at the top of the hotel, very nice size, perfectly equipped, and comfortable bed. It had a great view of the chateau! Highly recommend!
Lovely property with beautiful room. Staff was warm and attentive to our questions and requests . Only complaint would be the room was very warm and we had to open the windows because the AC was off for the season.
This hotel was beautiful! Eclectic and beautifully decorated, with a comforable bed and amazing shower in our room. We loved the breakfast buffet and wonderfully kind staff. Walkable to everything in town, but far enough out to be quiet. Would definitely stay here again!
The hotel is lovely and the staff superb! It is eclectically decorated - tres Francais! Breakfast was wonderful as well - fresh and delivered to our room by request every day. My only critique is that the front room on the first floor facing the street can get noisy. So either close your window or ask for a garden room.
The room had ticks and spiders and manager said the Americans brought it, rude disgusting people

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Personnel accueillant mais chambre décevante, en fond de cour, carrelages de la salle de bains peu propres au sol, traces de moisissures sur les joints de la douche et plinthes cassées par endroits. Insuffisant pour un 4 étoiles..
Property was lovely, staff were very friendly and spoke excellent English. Great location and easy to walk to everything in the town.
Only disappointment was that the pool wasn't heated in May.
Would highly recommend this beautiful hotel.
Le + - la vue panoramique sur le château, côté cour.
- le parking sécurisé
- piscine
Le - : absence de salle pour les petits déjeuner, à prendre dehors de préférence. possible en chambre mais sans table et avec supplément. qualité moindre, quantité également
: bar petit
: accueil mitigé de la propriétaire
: spa payant et inintéressant
The service at this hotel was exceptional. We received a really warm welcome when we arrived and, throughout our stay, nothing was too mucb trouble. The room was very comfortable and the hotel was exceptionally clean. A very nice stay. Thank you.
Dommage qu’il n’était pas précisé sur le site que le spa était fermé. Du coup, ça fait cher la nuit. J’avais choisi cet hôtel parmi tant d’autres pour le spa. Sinon, très bel hôtel, le matelas et les oreillers étaient d’un confort parfait, nous avons dormi comme sur un nuage.
