We paid 110 Euros the night for the room (breakfast and dinner on top) for a weekend stay. I hadn't done much research beforehand of the area (it was a quickly organised weekend out of Paris - the idea of being in Champagne, next to a pretty lake, albeit an artificial one, sounded great - of course, we only found out when we got there that this was the year when they were draining the damn lake - which they do once every ten years...
Well, given that little surprise, the lake wasn't at its best, but we went walking anyway. Good thing, as the dinner menus in the hotel were a real surprise and worth the calorie onslaught which comes with the typically French gastronomic menu. The chef (who owns the hotel) is a superb professional and not what I expected to find in an out of the way location. After the first night, we were confident enough of his skills to choose the lobster menu the second night and we weren't disappointed.
The service from all the staff was excellent and constituted an excellent reminder (as if one needs it...) that getting out of Paris is the best way to get value for money and also real service. We went recently to Senderens in Paris for a gastronomic night out @150 Euros a head and, seriously, the service and the food was a real disappointment. I'd choose this rural hotel over Senderens any day - and for two-thirds of the price!!
Re rooms, ours was clean and large - standard fittings for a rural hotel - I'd say an honest room, a good enough bed, but nothing out of the ordinary. But for the price, I was more than happy.
Well worth a trip when you next want to stock up on champagne, or passing by on your trip to the south of France in your auto.
