Château de la Folie

This is a lovely privately owned well maintained chateau offering limited accommodation of a high standard (about 4 rooms). Our room was nicely presented and comfortable. The bathroom facilities worked well. Gisors made a good base for visiting Monet's garden and house at Giverny, The included breakfast was plentiful and of a high standard.

Access information was only sent on the day of our arrival and we were not aware of this before our arrival. Fortunately we were able to contact the owner/management by phone and gained access to our room after 10 anxious minutes wait. Perhaps many guests may have access to e-mails whilst travelling, but in my case I only had this the evening before arrival as I was relying on over-night e-mail access.

This is the most luxurious place we have stayed and remarkable for the price. The letting rooms are all on the second floor up a lovely staircase. our room was vast with a huge double bed, a double bath, shower, separate toilet and a seating area. There was also a mini fridge, tv and coffee maker using pods. The three velux windows each had remote controlled blinds. Beautiful bedding and the huge bed supplied a very good night’s sleep. We also took advantage of the outside seating in the garden in the early evening. The chateau is a little way out of Gisors on a rise with good views of the town from our room. The place is very peaceful. An extensive breakfast was served in the conservatory at the front of the house, with everything you would expect; fantastic bread, both croissants and pain au chocolat, coffee, tea, fruit juice, fresh eggs to boil to your own liking, cold meat, cheese, cereals, yogurt, fruit purée. The owner Geoffrey was really friendly. Definitely a place to return to.

There is nothing to dislike about this property.

Breakfast was very good, but see comment below. The room was very large, comfortable and well equipped. The fittings were exceptionally good. There was a little traffic noise, but not much and not very close. The rural setting was very nice indeed. We booked for one night, but decided to stay a second night.

If we had been able to book a decent hotel in town (Gisors) we would have done so. A hotel that does not serve dinner driving distance from the town is not the idea option. The other point is very small but important to us. We don't like the instant coffee machines that now seem popular in French hotels. One of the things we value about France is the quality of the real (ground) coffee, so coffee from a plastic widget does not cut it. We also do not like UHT milk, so we bought our own fresh whole milk and used that. Those who like UHT milk will not see a problem. Also there was no dressing table and mirror and no chest of drawers, although the room was capacious.

Fabulous grand chateau located just over a mile from the town. The owner communicated with us via text giving us the PIN for the gates and details of our room. Inside was nicely decorated, it was modern and clean. Breakfast was included and consisted of lovely fresh bread and croissants

There was a stocked mini bar in the room but a complimentary bottle of water would have been appreciated

The hosts were excellent! Very happy to answer any questions and were so welcoming. The room was lovely and comfortable, and very clean and the breakfast the next morning was delicious! Would recommend to everyone. Can't wait to come back :)

The room was absolutely lovely. Beautifully appointed and furnished. We were very glad of the air conditioning in the hot weather. The garden was a wonderfully shady respite from the heat. Breakfast was delicious.

Breathtaking beautiful. Rooms and bathrooms were nicely decorated and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious.

Would have liked a full length mirror as we were attending a wedding and needed to check our full outfits. A top sheet for the bed would have been nice as it was too hot for the duvet.

Breakfast and location were good. The setting is fun, a big country house in the middle of nowhere. Not all of the rooms have a view if I remember correctly.

The manager of this B&B was not very helpful at first, as we arrived before the rooms were made. But we needed a place to change before going off to lunch, so in the end she did let us in. It was a long way up the stairs to the rooms and no offer to help with the bags...

Very nice continental breakfast with a basket of fresh patisseries and bread, ham and cheese. The owners were very friendly and welcoming and the house and gardens are lovely.

In the countryside, green area, big room, very comfortable, modern bathroom, nice breakfast area with garden view, good communication with hosts.

Second floor rooms, no elevator, lot of flies during autumn (due to horse stables nearby).
