I booked for 3 nights and loved it so much I stayed an extra night and wish schedule allowed me to stay longer! Traditional and rustic, this gem of a hotel-bar in a pretty village, with its lovely rooms that remind me of Vincent van Gogh paintings, and extremely kind and good-humoured owner, is a must-stay on your way through France. If you’re into pristine marbled floors and polished chrome then it’s NOT for you, but if, like me, you adore old mismatched wooden furniture, creaky floorboards, paint peeling off ancient shutters, pure cotton curtains, and a relaxed and homely feel, you will fall in love with this place and not want to leave! If in town on a Friday you must visit the outdoor market for rotisserie chicken and roast ham. There’s a glassblowing workshop that’s free to enter, the church is stunning as are the church gardens where I picnicked with my dog. There’s a gorgeous little village a 12-minute drive south called Sulaines-Dhuys, and 15 minutes north there’s a lake with a large birdwatching cabin and exhibition about local birds. Breakfasts are available at the hotel by arrangement (€6.50 coffee, juice, breads, jams or €9 with the addition of scrambled eggs and local ham). Also dinners by arrangement. Supermarkets, petrol stations, bakeries, etc., all close by. The internet is perfect for work video calls. My dog was made incredibly welcome. Thank you, Nadia, for your good-humoured kindness and for providing such perfect and homely accommodation. I’ll remember Hôtel Le Dervois fondly and hope I have the opportunity to return. :)

The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful, arranging a reservation at a local restaurant for us. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious and sitting in the conservatory looking out into the garden made for a perfect start to the day. We hadn’t planned to spend much time in the Champagne region on this trip, but if we do in the future we will certainly look to see if Nuit Champenoise Tout Confort is available.

Lovely barn conversion, family run and spotless clean and all for a bargain price! Breakfast time took me back to my childhood in Germany, fresh bread, selection of cheese, jams and fruit.
