This place is absolutely stunning. Excellent staff, professional and very friendly. The swimming pools are heaven, so refreshing. Dinner on the patio was excellent. Rooms are small but all you need. Breakfast is also excellent. Highly recommend this property for anyone visiting the Normandie region. Tres Magnifique.

Full of genuine character and charm, so relaxing
I adored Belle Isle sur Risle. It is such a relaxing place, The staff were so welcoming and accommodating (with the exception of one or two members who were less than friendly, but they were easily outshone by the others who were exceptionally kind.) When we discovered that they were fully booked for massages, they went out of their way to hire a second masseur so we would not be disappointed. I have read some reviews which said the hotel was tired and in need of refurbishment, but this is an authentic French country house and so, whilst not pristine throughout, has all the charms which come with that and for me make it preferable to somewhere more corporate and less personal. We didn't get chance to eat in the restaurant but did have breakfast. As we only wanted coffee and a croissant, it worked out very expensive so we only went once, but there was a full array of cooked dishes, including dauphinoise potatoes and champagne on offer so that would justify the price. We stayed a week and found it was perfect to spend some days relaxing by the 2 pools, having our massages, canoeing on the river or using the bikes to go into Pont-Audemer (which is a really charming place with plenty of shops and places to eat). The location is wonderful for exploring Normandy and beyond so on other days we took off and saw the delights of Honfleur, Bayeux and Giverny, all with in really easy reach.

Disappointing accommodation
We had seen the pictures and description of the bedrooms on the website and it all looked good. Unfortunately we found the reality to be different. We had chosen a room with air-conditioning but our allocated room (albeit with a balcony and a great view of the garden) was hot and had no air-conditioning. After some discussion we chose to move to an alternative room on the top floor, which did have ac. Although this was working when we checked into the room it stopped cooling during the night - we were told that it had recently been repaired but obviously, the repair couldn't have been done properly. Bedroom decor was very basic and could have been far better, especially as this was not a cheap stay. The bathroom was interesting. There was a bath with a shower attachment although it would have been impossible to stand and shower in the bath due to the sloping roof. I reckon that you would have to have been a contortionist to have been able to use the bidet conventionally. due to its positioning in a corner of the room. We did have dinner, and this was the bright spot of the stay, along with a particularly good bottle of burgundy. The decor of the dining room was generally good although it was spoilt but what looked like a shower curtain fixed to one of the walls (see photo below). Once seen it couldnt be unseen. Location was very good but we won't be visiting again in a hurry - the hotel needs to upgrade its rooms and for the description on the website to be more accurate.

Charming country home turned into a hotel. The owner greeted us and gave us a tour and some history of the place. Beautiful room with a terrace overlooking the outdoor pool and gardens. Definitely eat dinner at the hotel one night. It was one of our favorite meals in France.

This is a delightful 19th century mansion in beautiful forest/parkland on an island. Our stay coincided with a heatwave so we really appreciated the tree cover. We were upgraded to a garden room which had every facility we needed. The food in the restaurant was exceptional. Madame Yazbeck could not have been more helpful. Our only regret was our stay was only one night. We will be back!

Peacefully situated hotel in unique setting
Stayed for a Sunday night bed and breakfast, and did not take advantage of the Spa facility on site. On arrival we were loudly instructed that we had wrongly parked the car in the staff area although that was not clearly marked. On looking at the menu prices for Dinner we decided to dine elsewhere.. Rooms very spacious en suite, although no elevator to upper floors due to age of the property. Some rooms in a separate annexe within the grounds..

Lovely place and people, just a bit old
We had a lovely stay, and the people working at the hotel made us feel welcome and were incredibly helpful despite me no speaking a word of French. The place is beautiful, and there is plenty of room for parking and two lovely swimming pools. However, the hotel is a bit old and it doesn't have AC (despite it saying that on the listing) so it was a bit noisy sleeping with the windows open when cars started leaving in the morning. Also, the WiFi signal was erratic at best so I wouldn't choose it if we need internet to work remotely or something.

Charming hotel in a nice location
Arrived with my wife for a 2 day short break. Warm greeting on arrival by Tim, who spoke excellent English and gave us an informed tour of the hotel. We stayed in a Romantic room, which was of a good size, comfortable bed and spacious shower. The quality of food in the restaurant was excellent, matched by the service. Breakfast was good, you pre-ordered the day before and it was served fresh and prompt. The grounds of the hotel are lovely. Our only complaint during our stay was the water pressure from the shower. However this in no way spoiled our stay. Nice indoor pool and outdoor pool was of good size, unfortunately the weather was such that we did not se it, Would stay again if ever in the area.

Bucolic luxury by the river
The two of us and our 9 year old daughter had a great 4 day ay at this hotel. The setting next to the river with a lovely garden was very beautiful and calm. Not very close to tourist sites, but close enough for day trips (we went to Caen, Deauville, and Rouen). Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was delicious - though as I suppose befits a high quality resort it was not cheap, so we had 2 great dinners but skipped breakfast and ate out on day trips the other two nights. Pools indoor and out nice - our 9 year old particularly enjoyed the jets on the indoor pool.
