Domaine de la Basse Orme

Not what we expected! It was disappointing after reading all the good reviews. The owner was very welcoming and smiley. The room was satisfactory but Spartan. The bathroom bowl was not clean ( black) the shower tiles could have ingrained dirt scraped off with a finger nail and the sink tap surrounds were equally dirt engrained- not what we expected. The area was lovely with a super cafe a short walk away. Unfortunately we could not recommend this place to friends,

Surrounded by stillness and trees that softly move with the wind, the property offered a quiet, healing calm.

The building and gardens are beautiful but inside was another story. We stayed one night in the Baroque Room but the furnishings and decoration had no connection to Baroque. The room had an air conditioner but no remote control to operate it – we worked out how to do it eventually. The shower was very small with sliding doors that didn’t fully meet meaning water escaped onto the floor. In addition, it didn’t drain properly – slowly filling up as it was used. No hand towel was provided. There was only one free power outlet available in the whole room for charging phones, toothbrushes etc. Breakfast was basic comprising just orange juice and bread, butter and jam. Coffee was weak and lukewarm. On departure we provided our honest feedback to the host based upon our experience in other properties across France but it was not well received - with my wife being called a “complicated woman”. Overall, our stay was a disappointment.

Business trip Good stay. Owner is responsive and enjoyable

Really enjoyed our stay. Owners were very welcoming. Highly recommend

Very accommodating owner, excellent rooms and decent breakfast. It helps to be a dog lover as the white retriever is very friendly! Safe overnight parking for bicycles in a locked shed.

Lovely garden, parking, facilities and within walking distance to the village.

A friendly welcome from Vincent and Sylvie into their interesting home with many period features. Beautiful garden and surrounding countryside. Quiet and peaceful away from the tourist trail but close enough to have easy access to places of interest. Close to the canal with lovely picnic areas and bike trails. Perfect breakfast of delicious French breads, preserves, croissants and coffee. Other guests were friendly too making it a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. Both Vincent and Sylvie speak very good English and have great knowledge of the area. We will be back with our bikes!
