Ferme d'Ecavée

Wat een pareltje is dit hotel, je komt aan en alles klopt gewoon. De entree, Het ontvangst, De kamer, het restaurant, de mensen. Veel laad mogelijkheden voor mijn wagen. genoeg parkeerplaatsen. Super bedden en kussens.

Ik kan er even geen noemen.

I has been looking forward to staying here and having a meal in the restaurant. The place was reasonably easy to find and the grounds were well-maintained.

Sadly, the hotel should never have taken my reservation. It was heaving with a big wedding party and when we arrived there was just one poor lady running the wedding party, AND reception to all the guests AND the same lady was trying to find time to run the bar. We felt so sorry for her. Surely the big wedding booking wasn't a surprise to the owners, so why just one member of staff? Greed? Lack of workers in this remote rural area? Whatever the reason, they really should not have tried to fit in one more couple! So checking in and getting a drink after a long drive was not easy but having been allocated a room (I paid for a luxury room) I wished I’d stayed in reception… the poor receptionist/bar person/wedding host rushed upstairs ahead of us, saying that she needed to 'check that the room was clean' - not a good sign. We immediately realised why the lovely lady was worried - we'd been allocated a room that was uninhabitable due to the overpowering stink of raw sewage and she knew it! The hotel’s solution? Let's open a window... Dear God it was BAD. We could even 'taste' the smell. Yuk yuk yuk. My poor dear wife, where on earth had I taken her? Time was getting on but at this point we really should have cut our losses and left. But we'd been driving a long way. We were tired. Obviously we couldn't stay in the room and the hotel and dining room was very very busy with the wedding so we drove to the nearest town for dinner. Upon our return the party was still in full swing with the DJ at maximum volume. Great if you're part of the wedding, we wish the newlyweds a happy marriage. But not so great if you need to sleep and be up early. I called reception at 1am to ask when the drum and bass would stop. No reply. We got to sleep at around 2.30am. It's really not fair to squeeze in a couple of extra tourists when you're too busy to even check them in and your only room is a health hazard.

De locatie

Het bijhorende restaurant vonden we vrij duur voor wat het was

Rien

Eine wunderschöne alte Farm. Sehr geschmackvoll saniert. Tolle Terrasse und sehr gutes (allerdings auch hochpreisiges) Restaurant. Freundliches Personal. Für eine Zwischenübernachtung auf dem Weg zur französischen Küste war die Lage super (ansonsten sehr einsam gelegen - quasi mitten im Nirgendwo).

Es gab ein paar Kleinigkeiten, die uns gestört haben: - extrem harte, dicke und unbequeme Kopfkissen - Lichtschalter waren in Zimmer 15 am Kopfende hinter den Kissen (wahrscheinlich sollten die Betten ursprünglich anders stehen) . Bei Bewegung ging nachts das Licht immer wieder an. Sehr lästig! - der Fernseher funktionierte nicht (man war allerdings bemüht, dies zu beheben - leider erfolglos. Wir erhielten als Wiedergutmachung einen Aperitif gratis.) - das Frühstück war für uns ausreichend, insgesamt aber für ein Hotel dieser Preisklasse eher sehr übersichtlich.

Tranquility, food, attentive service and a comfortable bed.
