We travelled as a group of four, in two rooms. Both rooms were pleasantly spacious and the beds were very comfortable. I agree with previous reviewers about the carpeting being rough, but that isn't a major problem. The corridors are also dark with the lighting that turns on as you walk along them, but I didn't spend much time in the corridors! This isn't a five star hotel, but a comfortable place to stay as part of a journey. But one of the rooms was overlooking the main square and there were noise issues on one of the nights we were there.
The public areas are rather dark and small, which would be more of an issue if you are staying there during the winter months. In the summer, you are unlikely to use them as it is much nicer to go and sit in a cafe on the square immediately outside the hotel.
The restaurant gets a lot of criticism from other reviewers. We didn't have any problems, but certainly the French seem to take more time over meals than we Brits or the Americans do. I think a normal 3 course meal in France would last at least 2 hours and you need to be prepared for that. We found the service acceptable on that basis. The food was very tasty and nicely presented.
Beaulieu itself is a lovely town - take time to wander around and see it all.
