Excellent accommodation in charming and characterful fortified manor house, with lovely gardens. Good food, paricularly the breakfast. Entirely enclosed so safe for pets if you are travelling with one. Would highly recommend.

Our room was tight on space, but only because it had a King size bed which was comfy(More important to us)! Unfortunately we had not pre-booked our evening meal (May have helped if the joining instructions had been in english?) as we arrived on a Monday night. No food is served by the B&B on a Sunday or Monday night unless pre-booked in advance. It would not have been a big issue as we bought provisions from a supermarket once aware of this. Having driven for around five hours up from Lucerne we wanted to eat on the tables provided outside our rooms. THIS WAS FORBIDDEN BY THE OWNERS AND ASKED TO TAKE OUR PICNIC OFF THE PREMISES. Luckily it was a warm evening and we found a park nearby! This left a sour note to our stay which otherwise would have been excellent.

Great location with secure parking behind electric gates. Superb breakfast with most of what was on offer locally sourced. The weather was warm when we visited so we were able to take advantage of the tables on the terrace in front of the house.

The Maison Forte is a rare gem. It has everything. The building is fabulous full of character and charm, very sympathetically furnished. The rooms are spotless and well appointed. The gardens a treat to walk around. The breakfast and optional drinks and dinner at a communal table very good. Finally the hosts wonderful.

Brilliant stop on our way to Switzerland from the uk. The Wellness centre (Sauna and Jacuzzi) was an excellent way to relax with the family after a long trip. Very peaceful location in a gated area meant we felt good leaving luggage in our car overnight. Breakfast was great, can't decide if the pineapple or the kiwi jam was the best but everything was delicious. Hosts were on hand to answer questions and provide tips for our onward journey.

We found the creating rather odd, the man who owns the property greeted us in a less than friendly and quiet daunting manner. We felt slightly uncomfortable around him. The lady however was extremely nice, chatted to us over breakfast and made us feel really welcome. Not many place to eat in the town but we were advised that towns around 30 minutes away had some good restaurants.

Stunning property ! The grounds were charming, a couple of different seating areas to enjoy the garden. Beautifully presented, rooms, decorated in a unique, modern style. The bed was extremely comfy. Tea facilities in the room had a lovely hand made element to them with herbs from the gardens. Breakfast was a treat, plenty of options available to suit anyone’s preference.

Extremely comfortable, sparkling clean and beautifully renovated accommodation. A lot of thought and consideration has been made to create a tranquil, amazing pleasant place to stay. The owners were extremely welcoming and charming. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious, especially the amazing choice of home made jams, juices and muesli. We only stayed one night on our way back to UK but wish we could have stayed longer.

Absolutely beautiful. Quiet village location, perfect for our stop over before heading to Switzerland. Our room was amazing, with a big comfy bed, spotlessly clean, fabulous shower, lovely views of the gorgeous gardens, nice touch of fresh leaves to make your own tea in your room. Breakfast was delicious over in the main house, I'm gluten intolerant, so I was given gluten-free bread and granola. All jams, yogurt, and cookies are home-made. Hosts are both so welcoming and knowledgeable. Just fantastic....

Stunning property, lovely decor in bedrooms and the main dining hall had that French country chic that we love. Location suited us on our drive back to Calais - even though it was a good 20 minutes off the highway. The food served at dinner and breakfast was amazing. All locally sourced, the eggs were even from their own chickens and I chose to take some local apple and pear juice home it was that good.

The room left me wishing we had stayed an extra night to explore this beautiful area of France.

Really happy with everything. The owners were very friendly and the room was perfect. Fair to say it is probably the best shower and most comfortable bed in northern France.

We thought we'd be i the Champagne region, but it is outside of that. It is a very quiet area, a little too quiet for us;).

Really loved the host and the hospitable reception they gave us. Squeeky clean and breakfast is fantastic!

More flexibility on check in time would be appreciated but it was stated in the description to be honest. It would just be nice for the host to be more accommodating in terms of times of arrival. It is very hard to plan exact arrival when You are driving a long distance, that's all.

Nice place in a quiet village. Lovely gardens, very nice and plentiful breakfast on a terrace. Comfortable rooms. Nice host who recommended a good place for dinner and made the reservation for us.:))
