“Memorable stay”

We had a friendly and warm welcome in the hotel. The surroundings is magnificent. In other words: WOOW!!! It's a family owned hotel since generations (I believe early 60's).

We had a friendly and warm welcome in the hotel. The surroundings is magnificent. In other words: WOOW!!! It's a family owned hotel since generations (I believe early 60's). We were shown our suite and the servant was carrying our bags up to the room. The suite has a little hallway, then a sitting area, the bed and the minibar, desk and television. Up the stairs there was a very spacious bathroom, with a nice bath and a special shower (a bit like jacuzzi shower). And in a separate area there was a toilet with a make-up table. Long time ago, the monks used to pray and work in the priory. The walls are about 50 cm thick, so WIFI is out of the question. But, in fact, who cares, when you are on holiday :-). Another (good) tip: from the hotel you can take about 7 routes to hike or walk. Nr 1 is about 5 km and the longest (nr 7) is about 13,5 km. The hikes take you through the forest, alongside the river, caves, ponds, etc. The hotel gives you a map where you can follow the route you picked. When we came back from our walk, we saw that the menu of the evening was hanging just outside the restaurant. It looked delicious! We sat outside to enjoy our aperitif and not only had freshly made nibblings, but also a delicious mousse of salmon we enjoyed very much. The restaurant is know for its fine cuisine and I can really recommend it. We took the menu of the evening and the composition, the service, the friendliness, the mix of flavors: all was top! We had fun conversations with the lady of the hotel and the servant. They have a nice sense of humor.

“Lovely location, great food, needs some updating”

I'd stayed here about 3 years ago and had a fabulous and very memorable meal. We returned this year for one night.

I'd stayed here about 3 years ago and had a fabulous and very memorable meal. We returned this year for one night. The place is as beautiful as ever: a lovely building in fantastic grounds which lead down to the river. On nice days you can take your aperitif outside on the lawns. Inside the building is nicely decorated, preserving elements of the 18th century building but with some more up to date touches. However the decoration is showing its age. Don't expect Wifi in the hotel (or even mobile phone reception in most rooms!) and the bed clothes could have come from the 1980s. The towels could have done with replacing too. However the room we had was spacious and very clean. The meal was good, but not as good as we had remembered. Breakfast the next morning was spectacular though, with more than enough to eat. Some people have commented that the owner isn't very friendly and that the hotel's services are not very good. We also got quite a cold welcome when we first arrived, but when discussing dinner, wine and a walk the next day we couldn't stop the owner from talking. She explained that they are a very small team of people in the hotel - really just a family - so they can't keep the bar open too late or provide other services. She and the cook really did everything they could to cope with my wife's dietary requirements, and were very concerned that the meal would be ok for her. So overall this is a very nice place for a special get away, but yes it's a little old-fashioned, and that's part of its charm.

“La della posizione”

Molto bello, accogliente albergo, solo 10 camere, Le infrastrutture. Avevamo una composizione gastronimic. Diner era favoloso, ma 5 corsi 1.30h è troppo veloce... Hanno un'ampia scelta di vini francesi buoni. Il servizio era bello, ma non eccezionale, credo che sia stato il primo lavoro di camerie… Più

Molto bello, accogliente albergo, solo 10 camere, Le infrastrutture. Avevamo una composizione gastronimic. Diner era favoloso, ma 5 corsi 1.30h è troppo veloce... Hanno un'ampia scelta di vini francesi buoni. Il servizio era bello, ma non eccezionale, credo che sia stato il primo lavoro di cameriere. La posizione è meraviglioso, hanno un bel giardino e una bella terrazza. Offrono golf, ma non ne vale la pena di andare in questo albergo a golf. Era un buon hotel, ma ritornerei elogiarlo più come un buon hotel 3 stelle invece di un hotel 4 stelle. La zona è magnifico, potete fare delle belle escursioni, Brodo, la visita di abbay Orval, o semplicemente bere un drink in Florenville.
