Unfriendly welcome ("we don't have your booking, we don't have asuite for this price"), then the booking is found after all and all of the sudden the price is ok. However, it turns out they really don't have asuite for this price because the so-called "suite" we are shown (a modern bungalow that has nothing to do with the once probably charming mill) is just a normal room with terrible decoration (the hotel altogether looks a bit faded and has probably seen much better and cleaner days) and a tiny TV room with a bed-sofa. My mother-in-law gets a duvet (produced out of a box in that very room, most likely not washed). When opening the bathroom window next morning after showering, a bushel of hair flies in... At dinner, one of the forks was has a chemical smell and extremely unpleasant bitter taste (probably dipped in Javel water and not washed afterwards). We get a new fork, but no excuse. The crowning glory: when checking out we get charged the price for a menu although my mother in law just had a soup, salad and a dessert. Thus, the soup is supposed to cost 23 Euro.. Hello? After complaining, the hotel charges the soup separately but lists another price than in the menu from the night before (effectively charging 4 Euro more). My husband was ready to hit the roof (or the propriétaire, for that matter) and I was close to boiling point too... And guess what: in the end they told us that it was our fault - if we hadn't complained we would have "won" and saved 1 Euro. This kind of arrogance and disregard for customers speaks for itself... France at its very worst, definitely a "no go".

Location is miles from anywhere (is not even on Tom Tom) so if you want to dine out then you will either need to drive to Beaune or take a taxi which costs circa 50 Euros each way. If you eat in then beware - the restaurant is overrun with flies which the management seemed to accept - they said to us "But we are in the countryside!" Indeed the flies ruined all our meals there, even breakfast. Comments from the staff were often strange - I asked if the milk was cold at breakfast to which the waiter replied "put your finger in to see! This hotel unlike many others would not be one we would return too as whilst it has considerable charm, the finer points are lacking.

We felt that pets are more welcome than families with kids - at least our family. Note also that you are expected to have dinner in the restaurant. If you indicate you do not intend to do so, you get a measured "d'accord", suggesting that you are there to satisfy the staff and not the other way around.

The room was part nice, part very bad taste, part past glory - and all that not very well cleaned.

The restaurant, which we did try, was overpriced. Better go the 15 minutes to Beaune where you eat better in a nicer environment and, if you find it important, cheaper too. In terms of location, there is nothing around except farmland. If you come to this region, better stay closer to or in Beaune or west of Beaune (the heart of the wine area), in the mids of forest and vineyards.

Final observation: pay attention where you walk. Dogs leave some stuff behind. I had to clean my shoes one evening, after walking from my car back to the room. I was not amused.....

I had the pleasure of attending a wedding this month and I am very aware of how much was spent on making it the perfect experience for both guests and the couple.
I did feel that the rooms were over priced, or I can speak for ours which had no air conditioning and was in need of some TLC.
Whilst the couple who own it are lovely, I didn't feel all the staff were as accomodating, although this could have been down to a language barrier.
There was a particular waiter who ran around constantly and although he did have a strange sense of humour, for some, he did work very hard.
I was a little bit sickened by the fact that we were in France and the 'house' wine was 49 euros a bottle! Also the lunch which was requested, a mere roll, cheese and cold meats at 35 euros a head felt excessive.
All in all, a lovely place, but could do with some thought!!
