L'Hostellerie d'Acquigny

With a long journey ahead from Il de Re to North Yorkshire we were looking for an overnight stay which is always a risk. We were fortunate to stumble across this super family run hotel which was outstanding in every way, even down to electric shutters on the windows and an aircon unit. The staff without exception were a delight and the food spectacular. If you are reading this, just book, you’ll be so glad you did.

We have stayed here many times and the rooms and meals are excellent. However there were a few small niggles this time which was disappointing. It was exceptionally cold weather when we stayed and unfortunately only one radiator was working in our room. There was reversible clim as well but it’s a little noisy and we prefer not to have blown air. There were no blankets or throws to add to the duvet to increase warmth. The restaurant only has an à la carte menu at weekends which was very expensive. It was absolutely delicious and we enjoyed every mouthful but….at a cost which we felt a little uncomfortable with. A 10cl glass of wine was 10€ which we also thought was overpriced. I accept we should have checked but we’ve been so often, we had got blasé. We had to ask for bread. My husband wanted breakfast at 7.45 am but the earliest we could have was 8.30 am. In fact, the lovely lady who provided breakfast was there at 8.10 and we enjoyed it ! The night’s B and B plus 2 course evening meal with glass of wine each, cost 270€. Which, while extremely pleasant, makes a very expensive overnight stop ! We wish Fanny well but may make other arrangements next year, very very sadly.

Ravissants jardin et piscine paysagers magnifiques. Charmante tonnelle. la chambre orange jacuzzi serait digne d'un 4 étoiles si on y trouvait des chaussons, des produits de toilette de marque, une machine nespresso . excellente literie et jolie décoration. attention aux tapis de marche d'escalier accès non fixés donc dangereux!
