Hôtel Le Chantoiseau

The restaurant , which is in a separate building from the rooms ( I say rooms and not hotel as this is not what I would consider a conventional hotel ), was particularly good. Being a Saturday evening, I had pre booked a table for 4, and the restaurant was quite busy, but our party was the only table of residents, all of the others were locals enjoying the fine cuisine. The menu is varied with some unusual dishes and everything we ordered was excellent. It's worth staying here for the restaurant alone.

When I booked this ' hotel ', I was aware of the check-in time , but after a long drive from Italy, we arrived an hour before check-in. No problem, as this hotel is advertised as having a bar. I nearly always arrive at hotels before my room is ready, usually to enjoy a pint in the bar or to use the facilities in general before heading to my room.On this occasion, we found the place deserted. 3pm on a Saturday afternoon and no staff anywhere. Finding an unlocked door, we entered to find the reception desk and some tables and chairs, where we sat and waited. Shortly after, a rather angry lady appeared shouting they were closed and we shouldn't be in here. I explained we had been on the road since 7.30 am and could we wait in the bar, to which I was told there is no bar. Eventually, she calmed down and let us into our rooms early , but that was it. Not food or drink , nothing. We were told the restaurant would unlock at 4 pm when we could buy a drink , but then we had to take it back to our rooms as the restaurant was still closed until 7.30pm .I would not have booked this hotel had I realised there was no reception / communal area, and no bar in which to relax.

the location was to die for, the character of the property was something special , the bed very comfy, shower very hot and powerful,, my partner and I spent so much of out single night stay walking round the ground it was so relaxing,,the restaurant was very good and sitting in the terrace was a pleasant ,, the breakfast was outstanding and coffee to die for I couldn't get enough

Cpl little niggles,, tea/coffee in the room but no milk and just a small complaint was quite a small choice fir the meal menus, but these are minor issues

Great find ,just outside the usual small deserted village, room was good nice shower ,very very quiet, onsite parking a really fabulous restaurant ,excellent and welcoming friendly staff

Wonderful location, quiet and serene and picturesque. Room was well equipped, whilst very 'traditilnal ' was clean, comfortable bed, good bathroom. Restaurant was excellent, very good value and delicious. Breakfast included homemade jams ,yoghurts and good vienoiserrie.

Nothing really.

Clean room and very scenic outdoors.

Does not cater for vegetarian and gluten free. No flexibility. Provided extra meats for breakfast to make up for lack of options. Very pricey breakfast even if you don't have dietary restrictions.

Setting was second to none. Idyllic and tranquil. The staff were lovely and dinner and breakfast delicious. Comfortable beds. All was totally perfect.

The food was excellent - both in the restaurant in the evening and for breakfast in the morning. Beautiful building in a lovely location.

Thought the room decor was a trifle drab and the beds a trifle firm - but neither would put us off staying there again.

The breakfast was excellent. Lots of food and good coffee. We had a small dog and she was made to feel most welcome. There were wonderful fields for her to walk in.

Everything was OK.

Beautiful location and amazing cuisine. Very friendly staff. Air conditioning in room

Relaxed. Quiet. Friendly staff. Good food. So so different from the typical motorway budget hotel option.

Saturday breakfast not available until 8. We had to leave at 7. Oh well.

Hotel generally good. Quiet location with comfortable rooms.

Restaurant disappointed us and hotel is a little isolated if you want to eat elsewhere. Good stopover hotel for 1 night

we were travelling with a dog and there were lovely walks around.the restaurant was very good and we had an excellent meal with very good wine. select the Somellier cahoice .

it is quite a way off the motorway and if you are only looking for a bed for the night there are more convenient locations. it was however very attractive and would be lovely in the Summer.

Really friendly staff, fantastic, home cooked food and produce, and a picturesque mill-side rural location

Peaceful location

Thin walls and so noise from other rooms

The food was excellent- a real gourmet treat. The location was atmospheric as the hotel is next to an old water mill.

Lovely breakfast of fresh local produce.

Good

Exceptional
