Château De La Bûcherie

Fabulous grounds, wonderful food.

Lovely place, setting was beautiful and food delicious

The hotel has no lift or elevator, and we were given a room on the top floor, and we had to carry our heavy luggage up to our room 68 steps on a circular staircase 3 levels up. Our room had a sloped ceiling at one side which one had to be careful not to bump into. Although the bathroom was clean, the bathroom sink had very poor drainage, and the shower button between the overhead shower and the handheld shower did not function at all. Mattress, pillows, and bedding are nice. Buffet breakfast was good, from 7-10am...would be better if up to 10:30am because, after all, we are on holiday. Access to the property by car was through a very narrow country road where two cars can barely pass each other in both directions, which may be potentially dangerous to drive at night. The grounds of the property are bucolic and the ambiance of the lounge areas is quite cozy and rustic. Very quiet and restful. There is a fine dining restaurant at the hotel, but we were not able to dine there w/o reservation because the night we stayed, the restaurant was full, reserved by some outside group. Perhaps some consideration for its own guests to eat there would be nice. However, the hotel booked us a reservation at another restaurant in the area (about 25 minutes away by car at Gasny...a Michelin Bib Gourmand place which was only so so.). Since our stay was for one night, our primary purpose being to visit Giverny, I should give a better rating on this hotel..if only it has an elevator!

A wonderful stay for our family for 2 weeks in the French Countryside. Betty runs a wonderful hotel, with a fantastic staff and a spectacular restaurant! Great food in a stunning space, with so many natural ingredients grown on property or in the area. The Castle is old school, historic, rustic, but lovely. The grounds are stunning and special. Nathan was a brilliant manager and breakfast there is fabulous and a piece of artistry. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

Very beautiful grounds and common spaces with various salons and game room.
