At the hotel
Bikes to borrow (including a tandem), e-bikes to hire, concierge, umbrellas, and free WiFi throughout. In rooms: TV with Chromecast, climate control, Nespresso coffee machine, tea-making kit, minibar, free bottled water, bathrobes and slippers, and Phytomer bath products.
Our favourite rooms
All the rooms conjure painterly playfulness with zingy Pierre Frey wallcoverings or Camille Corot-inspired murals. Romantic and Impressionist Rooms come with spacious sitting areas and are our pick of the bunch. The capacious Barbizon Suite sleeps up to four and has two bathrooms, but we’re eyeing the Corot Suite for its private terrace and sunny aspect.
Poolside
There’s no pool at the hotel and swimming in the ponds is forbidden, but there’s an outdoor Jacuzzi, as well as private whirlpool suites at the hotel’s spa (for the latter, you’ll need to book ahead).
Spa
The 500-square-metre spa, Les Bains de Corot, begins in the hotel basement and extends to reservation-only whirlpool suites with adjoining lounge areas on the lower floor of the paillote. As well as a sauna and outdoor Jacuzzi, this restorative retreat has eight treatment rooms, including two for couples, where Phytomer facials and massages are delivered in the most serene of settings.
Packing tips
Nod to the artistic heritage of your surroundings with asymmetrical tailoring, abstract prints and statement accessories.
Also
Turn a cycle ride into a tryst with a picnic hamper for two, available on request if ordered the day before – whether you savour it on a bench by the ponds or beneath the woodland canopy is up to you.
Children
Welcome. Larger rooms take a cot and/or extra bed (from €100 a night); connecting rooms are available; the Barbizon Suite sleeps four, and infant bath products, bottle warmers and a welcome toy are all provided, plus staff can help arrange babysitting.
Sustainability efforts
The hotel’s kitchen sources produce and ingredients locally where possible. Bath products are full size and refillable, and waste is sorted for recycling.
