The grounds, with a large lake are the the main feature of this hotel. Ducks, swans, an otter as well as a donkey and a Shetland pony are to be found. The hotel and the service could be so much better. Some of the drawbacks: the WiFi did not work; a request for an extra pillow was futile. The tiled... More

We broke our journey here en route from the south and were glad we did. The setting is very impressive - extensive grounds with a big lake, very pleasant to walk round in the evening. The room was slightly disappointing - it was rated 'superior', probably on account of its very nice private terrace, and both bedroom and bathroom were... More

My husband and I stayed one night at this establishment on our way home after spending 3 weeks in France. The hotel is a horse-shoe shaped building set in large grounds overlooking a lake. Our room was quite basic but clean. A drawback for me was no shower, just the bath which was huge and took an eternity to fill.... More

The hotel is good value for money with a lovely location with lakes and swans and a lovely patio. The pool and sauna were super. The menu looked lovely but we ate in La Ferte. The rooms are in need of renovation. The weather was really hot but no air con - open the window and mosquitos have a feast.... More

We've stayed at this hotel quite a few times in the past several years--it's on our way from Paris to our home further south. It's a great place for a quiet stop, and very dog-friendly (a definite requirement for us). There's not much nearby, though Orleans and its sights are not too far away, as is the Sologne region. Rarely... More

After a long journey this spacious location was a big and pleasant surprise. The lady at the reception welcomed us in perfect English. Although our dinner was rather expensive it was classy and tasteful. The staff was friendly. Our room didn't fit in this beautiful setting. We booked a comfort plus room and expected some comfort. The weather was poor... More

We have just returned from a stay at this hotel for a friend's wedding at a nearby chateau. It is in a great location, very peaceful and relaxing with gardens and a lake. It is also close to the town with shops etc. The room was simple but very big and comfortable and with a huge bath! The restaurant is... More

At the time of booking, there were no Tripadvisor reviews on this place, so we took a bit of a risk. However, we have stayed in hotels of this chain, Relais du Silence, before and found them to be fine. This one was no exception. Quietly situated a mile or two outside La Ferté Saint Aubin, 15 miles south of... More
