We found the hotel by chance and made a late booking. The hotel feels as if it is the middle of the countryside and yet it is very close to the centre of Cognac. Surrounded by gardens there are gypsy type caravans, cabins on stilts and little studio type appartments to stay in as well as normal hotel rooms. There is a swimming pool and the whole complex is on the banks of the river. The breakfast in a conservatory attached to the main building was excellent. There are conference type facilities and space for weddings or similar. We wish we could have stayed longer. It is an enchanting place in a beautiful area well worth the overnight stop we were making. There is secure parking. Finally there is an Italian restaurant (La Scala) within walking disance across the river with a decor worthy of a film set! Food was good too!

The rooms were fine, and very clean but just like any other hotel room. What we loved was the surroundings - the beautifully tended garden and the different types of accommodation to suit every taste. Not suitable for people with young children who would need close supervision due to the river.

Fantastic eco-style retreat. It's much better than on the photos. I could not fault anything, I'd definitely return for a longer holiday and stay there. Whoever is the owner has really thought out all the details to make this a beautiful and comfortable resort. There are also great restaurants just next door and a short walk over the bridge to the city.

I think they could make it more easy and clear which room types you can book when travelling with dog. Ended up paying extra for a room type that takes dogs and then extra again for the dog.

Our room was very comfortable and attractive, and the view from our room was really lovely. We had a terrace overlooking a pond and trees. The entire premise was done beautifully with lots of gardens and decking. The bar area and breakfast room were beautifully decorated. It is a perfect place for a get-away, conference or wedding. The location in Cognac was perfect.

Our bathroom had everything we needed, but it was a bit tired. The shower leaked and there was a problem with the toilet seat. The breakfast was adequate.

A good location for a stopover for a night on the way south (or north!), but it would be a fine base for a holiday in the region . The gardens are lovely and there are some fun and quirky rooms. The room was well appointed and I enjoyed the terrace at the end of a long day

Nothing of any importance. But perhaps the name of the hotel could be better signposted from the street

This hotel has a great location just across the river from the old town, it is easy to explore on foot from here. There is a good sized car park. rooms are well equipped and comfortable. We stayed in the lodge and enjoyed the balcony with river and garden views with entertaining lawn mower!

Nothing, although there is no restaurant in the hotel there are many good restaurants in walking distance

We rented a cabin on the water and my just loved it. Super quiet, fully stocked and had everything we needed for our stay. The cabin had 2 beds, but the one bed was a full, not big enough for my husband and I, so we each had our own bed. The pool was closed, but it looked fine.

There was a great selection for breakfast. The room was spacious and comfortable and, crucially, quiet. The hotel is in an excellent location, it was easy to walk around Cognac from there. They had free parking, and nice pool that were took our baby swimming in. It’s also right next to the river which is beautiful.

The room was perhaps a little shabby but it was ok. Happy with it for the cost.

Everything! Beautiful river side location set in magnificent gardens and a few steps from a couple of very good local restaurants. Spotless, spacious and unique accommodation options available, great air con too which was much appreciated during 32C weather. Wonderful patient, helpful bi- lingual staff - great breakfast selection for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Great location, in tranquil garden setting but only a few minutes walk from the town & cognac visits. Lovely spacious room & terrace. Very comfortable bed.

Breakfast was mediocre. Eggs had probably been cooked the day before & the fruit loaf & nut loaf was stale both days.

First class experience. Wonderful location, great facilities and fantastic staff. Breakfast was really good with wide selection of continental options. We are definitely coming back.

Nothing, but the bed in the lodge could be bigger. King size please.
