Great location, very calm and green, the property itself is beautiful, staff was very helpful and friendly, restaurant is top notch, the building itself is amazing, unfortunately there is a serious lack of maintenance which is visible every where, the rooms in the tower were very basic, we were upgraded to a suite in the main building which was very nice but still the hotel needs a lot of work all around. Also the pictures online make the hotel look more luxurious than it really is. In my opinion the hotel is a 3 star and not a 4 star. I truly hope the owners will work to improve the property as it could really be amazing.

Charming setting & a vegetarian menu.
The hotel is pleasantly situated in a small village in a charming valley, which gives it a peaceful setting. The hotel restaurant served inventive and tasty food with a very welcome menu for vegetarians and gluten free diets. The staff were helpful, particularly given our limited French. The stay was marred however by flies in the room, in the restaurant and particularly in the breakfast room. There did not appear to be any attempt made to rid them from the interior of the hotel. It was difficult to tell whether this was a common feature or an unusual event but it was impossible to eat a meal without a fly landing on our food.

Food, wine, and fab setting in a quaint village
Beautiful hotel and grounds in a picturesque village. The old mill is charming and the waterfall is wonderful! Our basic room was remodeled and clean... a little boring for our taste considering the historic nature of the building. It looks like some of the pricier rooms in the main building would have more character... one even has a balcony adjacent to the waterfall. The staff was great and accommodated us for a delicious dinner even though they were completely full.

Remote and old hotel with beautiful grounds
I was really looking forward to staying in a "castle" or chateau in France, but was extremely disappointed by the whole experience. We tried to check in one hour early, but was told no by a non-English speaking person who worked there who showed us their new check-in time, which was a half an hour later than we thought. We sat outside by the beautiful waterfall for a few minutes, but then decided to drive around the area for a little while, and quickly realized that the location of the hotel was going to be very inconvenient for us, since it was four miles from town. We walked around town a little bit and spent some time at the visitor's center. We found out that we were not going to be able to rent bikes as we had hoped for because all of the shops were closed on Monday. We did a little wine tasting and picked up a few bottles. Then we went looking for a grocery store or some food to take back to the hotel for a picnic dinner. Since it was Sunday, most of the stores were closed. We found a bakery and grabbed a loaf of bread. When we came back and checked in, we had to wait at least ten minutes for the hotel receptionist to arrive and help us. Our room was very basic and old, with no screens on the windows and no shower, just a bath. We took our wine, bread and some cheese we had brought with us and had a quiet picnic by the waterfall. We made the decision to leave the next morning since we weren't happy with the room, the remote location and no bike riding!

Great hotel, fab location, only problem was a hour for our first course at dinner, but when it arrived it was a super meal... In the morning we walked up to the waterfall which was spectacularly beaterful in the soft autumn morning sun.

Character property in a stunning location.
A stop over in the Dura. We wanted a character property in an interesting location. The facilities and meal were very high standard. The hotel is built next to a stunning waterfall.

Komfortabler Ort zum Entspannen
Das Hotel liegt abgeschieden am Ende eines Tals im Jura. Es ist ein ehemaliges Mühlengut mit Bergfried. Die Inneneinrichtung ist edel, die Zimmer sind komfortabel, groß und geschmackvoll renoviert. Das Frühstücksbüffet ist gut. Es gibt nach Voranmeldung Essen im Restaurant, die Menüs liegen zwischen 48 und 117 €. Die Umgebung ist sehr schön. Ein Wasserfall liegt direkt neben dem Frühstücksraum, zwei weitere Wasserfälle sind eine gute Viertelstunde zu Fuß entfernt. In das Hotel zu kommen ist eher schwierig, da die Rezeption nur von 15.30 bis 19 Uhr besetzt ist. Man braucht zur Einfahrt durch das Tor einen Code (oder muss warten, bis jemand anderes kommt) oder ruft an. Beim Ausstellen der Rechnung musste ich reklamieren, da die Anzahlung online im Voraus übersehen wurde.
