A friend and I spent three wonderful days at the Manoir le Roure, soaking up the sunshine by the pool in the beautiful, spacious grounds bordered by the iconic shivering poplars, enjoying fine dining in the hotel's Ecrin de Roure restaurant and more informal (but still delicious) meals in La Garçonnière located across the grounds, and not missing a little pampering in the hotel's small but very well equipped spa. The experience is enhanced by the fantastic staff who do their best to help at every opportunity from booking taxis and addressing any room issues immediately. We stayed in one of the chalets which, although bijou in size compared to the main rooms, are well appointed with extremely comfortable beds, and benefit from a large terrace facing west over the grounds from where to appreciate the sunset after digesting a delicious dinner. The only slight complaint for our room (Armandier) was that the tranquility was very slightly disturbed by the nearby filtration pumps of the pool and (private) hot tub which resulted in an incessant (but not loud), background mechanical hum. It really was a wonderful experience however there is a small 'but' as there were a couple of aspects which (for a UK traveler at any rate) detracted from the perception of value for money. Whilst not a bad continental breakfast (with scrambled eggs), for €18 per person, there was an absence of any fresh fruit (apart from the option to squeeze your own fresh orange juice). This was disappointing in a region crammed with orchards whose trees in July are weighted down by plump apricots, peaches and nectarines. Aside from standard soap dispensers in the bathrooms, there were no additional toiletries provided, and a very meagre offering of in-room tea and coffee alongside a kettle. At about 15 metres length, the pool is a good size but has no shower facilities so you need to go to and from your room/chalet whenever taking a swim. On the final day, we had taken advantage of the spa's "Free glass of champagne on Thursdays" deal in the spa only to be told that a mistake had been made as you were not able to benefit from the resident discount in the spa as well as the free glass of champagne, which, although small, was quite a disappointment as I'd weirdly been looking forward to it! I mention these points more to set expectations so that your visit is perfect as it could be, rather than a tiny bit niggled. And if you haven't experienced an 'Aquatiser' yet - I recommend it!
