Rooms are clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The staff truly go above and beyond, paying attention to even the smallest details, which makes the stay feel extra special. And the breakfast? Absolutely incredible — a wide selection of fresh juices, fruit, freshly baked croissants, and cheeses that are simply to die for. Highly recommended!

Sadly Disappointed.

A little dissatisfied. There are fire places in the rooms as well as all public spaces but because it wasn’t yet the 1st of May (even though we were there over the Easter long weekend), we were not allowed to light them. (It was cold). No music / fires / atmosphere in the public spaces makes it cold & uneventful to go there. No walking trails on the property, so if you want to walk you need to drive to another. Your breakfast is complimentary but you must pay to have a cappacino (only filter coffee included- which as a coffee lover - honestly wasn’t very nice coffee at all). The steam room at the spa wasn’t working when we went for our treatments. The staff however are really lovely and doing their best to make it welcoming. If you’re happy to sit in your room all weekend then it is perfect, but for a more active couple, unfortunately it’s not the right fit.

Not Great .........................

I was so looking forward to this stay . The place needs a good scrub in the walkways and the bathroom especially the grouting and the shower . There were stains on the seats in the dining area. It was particularly chilly and when I asked if they could light a fire - I was told they are not using them. I would not recommend this spot at all.

Great retreat

Amazing weekend retreat. Spacious, clean and quiet room. Breakfast and dinner service at the Bistro has room for improvement but the food is good and of high quality. Waitresses require more training. Resort is well situated, near points of interest.

Rustic property in good location. Quiet and tranquil. Good pool and good breakfast. Clean room and bathroom. The access road was in a bad state of repair with potholes and deep ruts and needed careful negotiation. Very friendly and efficient security staff at the gate.

Pleasant mid week break.

Great stay. Both of us got sick on the Thursday. Called reception for Valois. Message received was hotel not allowed to stock tablet. A bit more interest or offer of help would have been better.
