We liked the Hotel and room 26 which was the family room and one of the best rooms we have stayed in. The reception staff were pleasant and our meal at the hotel was nice

A lovely hotel in a pleasant setting

The only downside was the Waiter in the French Brasserie Restaurant who chose to be more attentive to his fellow countrymen than us English. He has to decide whether to treat all guests equally or he should suggest to the management that maybe the english should not eat in the restaurant and thus contribute to his wages.

Well on an impulse booked on the eve if travel!
We were running late!
Rang to say that we wont arrive before 22:30 ! Restaurants of wich tbere are three at the Chatreuse close at 10pm.
We had a call back by Mr St Jean the Proprietor no less reciting the menue!

Placed our order over the phone and true enough were greeted by Mr St Jean brandys at hand waked us over ro the Distierie one of the 3 restaurants were our dinner was being served !

We have since been numerous times,it remains a special place although somewhat dearer than it used to be a couple of years ago it aquired 4* Rating .

You must Book "The Robert Deux" at least once for a Fine Gourmet Dining Exlerience,like no other .

Also spend some time in the sumptuous Bar Chatting and sipping fine brandies and Chartreuse or an afternoon tasting home made cakes.

Its a Romantic Retreat with a Capital R!

Although you can take kids and they are welcome i fear its not suited an d besides you will bore them to death!

we booked this hotel to experience a night in a lovely hotel and a gourmet dinner. the hotel was lovely, beautiful location and very traditional french chateau. The food in the gourmet restaurant was good but a bit overpriced and not exceptional enough for surroundings . Steak tough and really not enough vegetables..(as usual for France!). the service was pleasant but very very slow. sat down at 8.30, midnight before the sweet trolley eventually arrived.....

room was grand in the old style. ensuite a bit tired however.

all in all a lovely stay.

We loved the look of this rambling ex nunnery set in a particularly boring part of Northern France.
The room looked lovely huge bed, separate toilet and bathroom and lots of space.
Unfortunately being an attic (large) room the only way you could see outside was by standing on tiptoe!
All was well with the room till night time when a loud intrusive humming was heard. Room 101 is over a large generator of some sort which was unrelenting.
We asked if we could be moved in the morning but they offered us a twin room or another smaller room along another corridor but wanted another 25 Euros! What seemed strange was there were probably only 15 rooms out of the 54 occupied.
Breakfast was pleasant fresh fruit salad, eggs if you asked, meat and pastries but at a cost of 17 Euros a head so it should be.
We booked into a different restaurant for each night going to the Bistro first. The decor was very old style 80's dark wood no table clothes and so many flies! Why do they play dire english pop hearing "I'll wave my flag" for the 3rd time was horrid.
The food was poorly prepared and almost inedible we complained and had the french shoulder shrug.
We chose not to eat in the gourmet restaurant at 75 Euros ahead on the grounds that as it came from the same kitchen. We found a friendly restaurant a few miles away for that night.
The staff on reception were delightful and it could be a very nice place to stay if there was more attention to customer thoughts.
Best thing, its less than an hour to the Tunnel so breaks up a long trip.
