Beautiful and Unique! Also access to the Abbaye after hours was very special

Ro United States of America

Property is gorgeous and peaceful. Staff is helpful. Rooms were very comfortable. Make sure to visit the Abbey and tell guests that they do not have to pay to enter.

Sally United States of America

Wonderful setting with access to the grounds and the abbey. Breakfast buffet high quality. Staff attentive throughout our stay.

Jon United Kingdom

Location, ambience, staff, cleanliness and quietness. Awesome place to stay with a great breakfast.

Sanjay United States of America

The location is stunning within the Abbey grounds. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was excellent as was our picnic supper. Unfortunately the restaurant was not open the night we visited. Beds are comfortable.

Louise United Kingdom

Fantastic setting! Helpful staff. Couldn't get AC working but they fixed it right away. Excellent breakfast.

Joakim Sweden

The room was modern and well appointed. The real star of the show were the Abbey grounds themselves - exploring after dark with the accompanying music and clever lighting made this a really special and unique stay.

Paul United Kingdom

This is a really unique place to stay, and very charming. Being able to wander about the Abbey at night, when no one else is around is priceless. The room itself was a bit small, but well-equipped, and the staff were all very helpful. The on-site restaurant also provided an incredible, memorable meal.

Andrew United States of America

The best part of the stay was the ability to wander the grounds at night, after it was closed to the public.

Jennifer United States of America

The hotel is very nice, the architecture is sublime (it is inside an exceptionally-well preserved royal abbey). The comfort is modern and environmentally responsible. The staff is very nice.
