“Great Hotel”

We booked 8 rooms for an overnight stop on our way to Switzerland driving classic cars. Have stayed before and as usual it didn't disappoint. Good location, safe parking and a lovely garden. Food and wine were excellent. Thanks to Johann for looking after us so well.

“A Champagne treat”

We have stayed here on several occasions in the past as it is an easy drive from Le Shuttle. This year we stayed both on the way to and on the way back from Provence and enjoyed both nights immensely. There is clearly a programme of renovation going on as, since our visit last year, the rooms have been modernised (great showers) and an exterior lift installed. The hotel is set in beautiful grounds adjacent to a tributary of the Marne. In fact, on our second visit, we twice had to make a detour to reach the hotel as the tributary had broken its banks. There is ample parking. The main attraction for us is the restaurant. The food here is superb and very good value for money. In fact whenever we stay we always order a bottle of champagne to accompany the meal either to celebrate the start of our holiday or to commiserate that it's over. Someone earlier complained about the breakfast. The breakfast room is a little tight and the management has retained Covid style Perspex screens between the tables. However, there is more than enough to eat and the still warm croissants are a delight. Once mastered, the juicer provides the perfect orange juice.

Have always struggled to find the perfect venue for an overnight stop between London and The Alps. This charming little hotel ticks all the boxes. Our room was very clean and modern, excellent bathroom, plenty of storage and modern electrics including USB charging. Hotel sits in beautiful gardens with outside seating to make the most of it. Restaurant is very good and great value. The hotel staff are really helpful and welcoming. The village is quiet but if you have time to spare Vitry and Chalons are interesting little towns and are 20 mins away.

“Fabulous dinner, pleasant room, breakfast needs improvement”

Our second visit here and so we made sure to book a room in the hotel rather than the annexe. As they mention, the rooms aren't huge, not helped by the bathroom which is very poorly designed. The bath is enormous, very long and very deep - it could certainly do with being a third shorter to make the room bigger. The toilet is far too close to the wall - there is plenty of room to move it. It's another case of the person who designed it never having to use it. Having said that, the bed was comfortable, it was all very clean and good to see USB charging ports instead of having to struggle with adapters. Dinner last time was excellent, this time it was even better, even though we couldn't sit outside because of the weather. Both food and service were first class. We did have a drink in the new bar first. There was nobody on duty and they didn't respond to the bell as they were out of earshot. Far better to have a buzzer linked to the kitchen or reception. Breakfast the following morning was a bit different unfortunately - a few croissants and two extremely burnt pains au chocolat greeted us. No fresh fruit. A very high-tech fresh orange juice machine that worked intermittently. It was a bit of a let down after such a fabulous dinner. The breakfast room is a bit cramped, but they really do need to improve it. In spite of that, we would go back as it's a useful stopover to/from Calais or Dieppe and has secure parking - if Dieppe is your port, the N road route is very pretty, but extremely slow. Probabaly better to take the autoroute to Rouen which is what we'll do next time.
