    No clear signs to direct to the hotel and parking. No wardrobe in the room to hang the outfits we had brought for attending a wedding.

    Beautiful location in a picturesque Normandy village in the forest. Excellent breakfast. The restaurant is attached, offering excellent food but quite expensive.

    There wasn't much room in the toilet area. If it was summer, it may have been hot. No air conditioning.

    Loved the design of the rooms and the dining room. We looked over the square Loved the heated towel rack.

    The swimming pool was tiny and the water too cold for a December visit.

    The room was quiet and clean. Loved the hamman, sauna and massage at the Nuxe Spa. Food at the bistro was very good. Breakfast was splendid, fresh food every morning. Exceptional service from Julie and Simon. Will return.

    Bigger room & being able to make cup of tea or have coffee with milk.

    It was a very tiny attic room which on an incredibly hot day was suffocatingly hot, we were kindly given a fan but it just circulated hot air 🥵🥵 No kettle, teabags or milk so no facilities to make tea.

    The spa was a bit of a jaunt from our room which wasn't ideal having to walk in the rain to get to the building, but that really wasn't a big issue. What was disappointing was that the pool and hot tub were luke warm so not enjoyable to stay in for very long. Further, there weren't enough lounge chairs on the busy weekend whilst it was raining but to be fair to the hotel, I am not sure where they could squeeze more in apart from maybe the next room; and the many outside in the rain that were provided were unusable through no fault of theirs. It was a lovely facility but could be a bit better with heated water. The other slight downside was that we arrived on a Wednesday and it was difficult to find anywhere in the town that still served food later on. But, that was a small hiccup for such a beautiful spot and we did manage to nip to The Lounge for a light bite having looked around the town and asked about. Also, we rented bikes from the little shop on the square 30 seconds walk from the hotel; a wonderful owners set us up with electric bikes and we had a great 20km explore of the area including some resistance memorials, past rivers, fields, and forests; we couldn't have had a better morning.

    We loved this location. It is in a beautiful town, forest and fields surrounding it, and it wasn't too far from towns and amenities. The staff were lovely and breakfasts really enjoyable with fresh cheese and bread. The room was very comfortable and the massive bath a bonus, although we would have liked a shower on the morning that we were leaving so that was a downside. The hotel has been done up very sympathetically to the original structure which we loved. The town is quiet at night so we had peaceful rest.

    Would have liked a kettle in the room as not everyone is a coffee lover.

    Excellent location. Room was very comfortable especially the large double bed. Coffee machine in the room. Able to eat outside at the Bistro. The Menu du Jour was really enjoyable and the buffet breakfast was fantastic. Staff were friendly and helpful.

    It was a bit confusing for us: Hotel du Grand Cerf is combined with another hotel down the street, Licorne. The breakfast as well as pool, spa and parking, are at the OTHER hotel.

    It's a beautifully decorated hotel, in a beautifully restored old building. The room was small but comfortable, with a good bathroom and comfy bed. There's a spa and outside pool available as well as private parking. Lyons-la-Foret is a very cute town!

    There were no staff around when we went to use the pool at our booked time, and we were unable to find any towels to use. The breakfast was ok although the room lacked any atmosphere on our first morning no staff appeared to greet us or any of the other guests for the first 5 mins when the lady did appear it was brief and she did not want to engage with the guests, which was a shame.

    The check in staff were very nice Our room was lovely and as requested in a quiet location . We ate in the Bistro which was fabulous and Abdul was excellent in advising us on the dishes and wine his cheerful personality made the evening special. The hotel is situated in a delightful village.

    Reception is at the sister hotel along the street, which is fine, but arriving at a hotel which looks closed then finding the other hotel isn’t ideal after a long day. The restaurant+bistro are pretty expensive, but can’t comment on the food, seeing the menu price was enough. The bathroom sink was cracked, window blinds were dusty.

    Nice room, very comfy bed. Breakfast was ok. Parking a motorbike on the area behind the hotel better than the gravel at the sister hotel. The receptionist was great, very helpful and came to find me when I arrived. Didn’t get time/chance to try the spa/pool unfortunately.
