Au Petit Manoir

Don't understand all the raving reviews, as it was very average. Yes, location is convenient. Yes it was clean. But it was a lot of style over substance. We didn't really interact with host (aside from check in) so can't really comment on that. She seemed friendly albeit perfunctory. We stayed in the self catering unit. Amenities are basic and limited. Severe lack of practical space, especially in the bathroom & kitchen. It all looks very pretty but is very unpractical. The self catering unit is suitable for 4 persons, but even with just the 2 of us, we hardly had space to open our suitcase,. There is a dining "shelf" with 3 chairs, fine for the 2 of us, but I wonder how 4 persons would be able to have dinner. There are additional relaxing seats available, but again, very unpractical, like a lovely comfortable hanging egg chair which takes up way too much space. Kitchen had 2 induction hobs, a minimal no of plates & glasses & cooking equipment. A few teabags, dishwasher tablets (2), instant coffee sachets were provided. Nice touch was the bottles of still & sparkling water in fridge. It all looked very pretty, and bed was reasonable comfy, but we were happy that we only stayed 1 night as it would have been totally unsuitable for a longer stay. One last note re parking: there are limited parking spaces available within the gated area (think about 6). On the evening we stayed, there was table d'hote offered to guests and local residents. This meant that the parking was taken up by some non guests. There is further parking available on the street, but if you are concerned about secured parking - this is something to take into account

We had already stayed in this beautiful house a couple of years ago. Second experiences can be disappointing, especially when owners or managers change. That was not our case: the premises were rearranged and restructured for the benefit of greater comfort and pleasantness of the rooms that were already excellent. The location is fine, nothing special, but cosy and quiet. 85/100 The owner is friendly and reserved 90/100 The rooms are beautiful, welcoming, comfortable and large 90/100 The breakfast room has a large bow-window facing the beautiful garden and the close living room has a piano plus free snooker and football table 95/100 The class of service is the one you expect when in France, i.e. top level 90/100 The taste of breakfast with fresh croissons and true orange juice is French class 90/100 The price for four people was good (154 breakfast included) 88/100 Maybe the parking could be slightly improved

Nous avons passé un très bon weekend en famille dans cette merveilleuse villa, avec un immense jardin fantastique. Les hôtes sont très symphatiques Les repas sont top! Les lits sont confortables. Tout était bien.
