A lovely hotel for a trip to the French countryside. You can walk for hours in the beautiful forest, visit castles, churches and WWI-sites, rent a bike in Pierrefonds or Compiegne and enjoy the woods, hills and farmland. Mr Verdun is a perfect host, breakfast is good (croissants, fruit, yoghurt, applepie...) diner a treat (inside near the fireplace in winter,... More

Stayed at l'Abbaye in Sept. 2010 at the recommendation of French friends, who joined us to celebrate a birthday. We arrived on a wonderfully hot day, explored the nearby ruined abbey, the hotel had a very busy lunch time service but managed to fit us in. After a while a dish of water melon and radish arrived, which we hadn't... More

This is a lovely hotel "away from it all". It is in a small picturesque village with the added bonus of the ruined abbey. The food was really good and we were able to sit in the garden on a lovely August evening. The manager speaks very good English and was very helpful with any queries. Well worth a visit. More

I (& other business colleagues) have been staying at this hotel for the past four years & cannot fault it. Benoit & his excellent staff have always made us very welcome. Food is excellent.

Our family spent the final night of our three week holiday at Hotel de l'Abbaye. The hotel is about an hour east of Charles de Gaulle airport, and after several big city locations, Longpont was the perfect place to reflect on our trip. We stayed in the spacious twin-double room, which was clean and pleasant. We opened windows on each... More

We booked this hotel for the last night of our holiday in France hoping to take home wonderful memories. Sadly, although the position is stunning, so peaceful and quaint we were let down by a less than warm welcome and really disappointing food - the worst we've had in France. The meal, served in a beautiful garden, was cold and... More
