Hôtel Restaurant Les Orangeries

Booked this hotel after reading a review and recommendation in The Times. Did not disappoint - The building is picture postcard perfect, so you immediately feel you're in a special place. The grounds are massive, so ample space for kids to roam about amongst orchards and explore. The pool is above average in length, and the perfect temperature when it's hot. The staff were very attentive, friendly and helpful. The building itself feels like a museum inside, old & new parts merged. Our family room was a two-story suite; loads of space for us all. Unfortunately the cooler didn't work properly at the time we stayed, so we found it incredibly hot at night (during a heatwave), however the rest of the building indoors was cool and lovely so I guess we were just unlucky. The Orangeries restaurant looked amazing; we didn't eat there purely because our kids aren't adventurous eaters and so we didn't want to spoil the experience for ourselves - hubby and I will have to return on our own to savour the menu. Breakfast was pleasant and simple - good coffee, pastries, bread, yoghurt, fruit & eggs; our gluten intolerant daughter struggled a little, however appreciated the 'make your own hot chocolate' in compensation. Overall, we had a fabulous time at Orangeries, left feeling relaxed and like we had experienced a little bit of luxury in a part of France we wouldn't have stumbled upon otherwise.
