Disappointing.
+The setting and the landscape.
-Dark room, nauseating smell coming from the toilets, the view of the passage of customers, TV out of service, SPA in a sorry state, excessively expensive meals, unpleasant staff, bicycles in poor condition, all under an air corridor.
June 9, 2023
Exotic stay a few km from the capital.
+The location, the freedom to move around and access the activity without problem. a beautiful room with a view of the forest, it's quite soothing.
-The lack of choice in breakfast, few proposals, no pastries. Little choice in juices, more choice in eggs or charcuterie would be welcome. You have to try several times to get hot chocolate, for example. In the middle of a heat wave, the heat of the rooms without air conditioning or ceiling fan makes it difficult to spend the night with the mosquitoes
June 8, 2023
Beautiful place, charming staff, very disappointing room, yoga and massage at the top
+The place, the space, the terrace, the small concert, the fresh air, the yoga classes, the massage
-The room, badly kept, badly lit, terrace in disorder. Not at all the service expected for a suite
May 10, 2023
Exceptional
+The magnificent setting
-Wheelchair access for disabled people

A lazy weekend
+The staff and its service the change of scenery compared to our daily life and the activities!!
-Nothing, everything was perfect from the bike ride to dinner, baths and naps! Resting as you wish!

An exceptional place to have a good time in nature with lots of things to do... or not.
+The Barn is an exceptional place, we had a great weekend. The design, the nature, all the activities put in place, the attentive service at all times, the cuisine... It was exactly what we needed! A hotel that manages to meet many needs at the same time - young families, children, couples, groups of friends. Everyone feels comfortable. I recommend 100%.
-The only thing to improve is the layout of the spa. It lacks a place to relax warm after the sauna, it lacks cold and hot showers inside the spa and it is necessary to avoid people crossing the place with their shoes. You have to rethink the space to create a real relaxing experience without having to go through cold rooms or dirty floors. We still enjoy it, but not as much as possible.

Very good hotel in a rural setting.
+Efficient and smiling staff, surprising restaurant menu but the chosen dishes turned out to be tasty. Excellent breakfast. Beautiful dining rooms. Geographic location . Well equipped room, lighting apart.
-Starved lighting in the bedroom. It is, for example, impossible to read a book in bed
April 18, 2023
Not worth your money
+I really liked the fact that I could come with my animal and be in nature. The restaurant was very good.
-I didn't like not being able to order things to eat between meal times (even a cupcake or an ice cream...) I didn't like the fact that there was no air conditioning ( by 40 degrees...) and that you are not offered an alternative (fan or foggers). I asked for a towel at 10am, it arrived at 17pm. Often long waits at the restaurant: our table has been forgotten. Mosquitoes, mosquitoes and more mosquitoes (they don't warn + don't give us anything to fight them, whereas for 400€ per night... it's the minimum) Breakfast = 4 poor croissants and two yogurts.. In short, I wouldn't go back, I'm disappointed and didn't have a great time.

All right
+Feeling like home 😉
-Pillows too big, too hard...
March 19., 2023
We enjoyed our stay, but without the "wow" unfortunately
+Very beautiful frame! It's immediately a nice break when you come from the city - Very pleasant Nordic baths - Nature around the magnificent establishment - Bikes available for free for beautiful walks!
-Much too hot in the room at night, with no way to ventilate because too many mosquitoes... for such a price it's a shame to have this kind of inconvenience. In the evening, not all the lights were on in the restaurant... that made the place a little less magical. We find that the price is too high for a "superior" room... which was ultimately small, with a normal bed.

Nice nature break
+Delicious breakfast with homemade products. Very good comfort. Natural setting. Excellent spa, especially the outdoor Nordic bath.
-To report fairly frequent aircraft overflights
February 28, 2023
Very disappointed with our stay this year…. !
+The setting is idyllic: it's the third time we've come and we never tire of it. The staff are pleasant.
-The cleanliness of the room: stains on the carpet… Stains on the shower curtain… The tv did not work during our stay of 3 days and two nights: we warned but apparently no possible solution: ???? The restaurant has apparently changed the chef since last year and the quality is affected a lot: Not at all up to the price: really very disappointing: basic at a high price! And the worst: the breakfast…. Where to start… No more bread when we arrived for breakfast Thursday morning at 9am!!! We were just told that there weren't any more: my partner, who didn't eat anything sweet, couldn't have lunch! We had bread the second morning but the choice is non-existent: boiled eggs, ham, a little cheese, jam and a few peaches and that's it….Just incredible: you could read the disappointment on the face of all customers!!! To sum up: really very disappointed with our third stay: unfortunately we will not be returning to the hotel!! The services are no longer at all up to the price.

Country chic near Paris
+The setting, the games. activities, decor
-the rooms
February 24, 2023
A haven of peace
+The very spacious and well maintained area, the clean and nicely decorated room, the green spaces as far as the eye can see, the delicious restaurant, the very warm welcome, the kindness towards my dog who is sometimes a little turbulent, the small details that make the very pleasant stay (provision of bicycles, raincoats, rain boots, board games, books, activities...) Faultless.
-Nothing, everything was perfect.
February 22, 2023
Fair
+The decoration of the rooms, the comfort of the bedding. Hotel level is perfect, nothing to say. Idyllic setting, beautiful place, clean and very well maintained.
-The spa was not open, but no indication that it was not and we had booked mainly for the spa. The purpose of our trip is to recharge our batteries / rest. Idyllic setting but unqualified restaurant staff. Restoration more than disappointing, very poor value for money. Disappointing drink menu. The kitchen is not up to par and the prices are high. There are few things nearby to eat so we were quite disappointed.

An exotic good time while staying close to parisclose to Paris
+The catering was great, we had a very good dinner and the breakfast was very good. The setting is very pretty and it was very good to have bikes and other equipment available.
-The bathroom and bedding.

Très bien
+Comfort, access to facilities all day regardless of room returned
-Restaurant a little expensive for the quality

A stay that could have been perfect without the disappointment of the first night and a few adjustments.
+First stay at the Hôtel le Barn. The geographical location of the hotel, 1 hour from Paris and in the middle of the countryside, is exceptional for a couple's break of a few days and really allows you to disconnect. The decoration of the hotel in general is very refined, very beautiful, it's very pleasant, as are the common areas. We had booked a superior double room. Very unhappy with the first room and night spent, we were overjoyed by our second night spent in another room which corresponded to the advertised standard with a balcony and a view of the treetops. A real joy. We loved the outdoor classical music concert during the two dinners, which added to the romantic and zen setting of the place. If you like horses, go for it, the hotel is adjacent to a stud farm and allows you to go for walks and be in contact with equines.
-We had booked a superior double room. We found ourselves in a room under the roof where it was very hot, not clean, with very small windows, opening for two of them on the motors (sic) of the Nordic baths generating a very loud noise h24. Far from the zen spirit sold by the hotel, we therefore slept little the first night. After several remarks and complaints at the reception, we were able, after much insistence, to change rooms and finally have a very pleasant end of stay. Good point for the meats and fish cooked on the BBQ, the garnishes, only a few raw vegetables on the plancha deserve to be worked on more. The staff is young and welcoming despite the difficulties imposed by COVID, but we nevertheless feel a lack of training, particularly in the sometimes slow and messy service where, moreover, one of the servers tends to confuse being welcoming with being familiar and intrusive.

I expected a more cozy stay
+I had booked a family room and two children's beds were put in a small room. So we were very cramped
-a fireplace in a cozy living room for rainy afternoons
December 29th
Soothing and rejuvenating
+rejuvenating place, appeasement.
-the vacuum cleaner left in the middle of the hallway even during hours when there is no cleaning
December 20th
Must do at least once
+We loved the location, surroundings etc. The spa/relaxation a real pleasure. The excellent restaurant. They do everything to satisfy you.
-When you ask to do the room, the sheets and dishes are not changed automatically, it's a shame.
December 18th
Have a good stay
+Very nice place, large hotel in the countryside, very well connected, quiet. Very friendly and warm staff. Pretty good food.
-Not really a review but I was expecting a small family sized hotel. The set is very large, and hosts seminars during the week. You just have to know it. Also the restaurant / bar is very expensive for a cuisine that is certainly good but relatively simple. (30€ the dish)
November 27, 2022
Nice
+The BBQ meals were good and the dining venue enjoyable. The site allows walks on the spot. Ideal for horse riding enthusiasts, which is not our case.
-On several occasions, we could not have what we wanted to drink or eat because it was out of stock. No ice cubes either on a hot day. Minibar fridge not cooling. We found socks under the bed. The second day our towels having been changed, we only had two small towels for two in exchange and no bath towel. The carpet in the rooms was dirty and stained and ceiling and walls covered with squashed mosquitoes. We cut our stay short and canceled one night. The concept is interesting in itself, very natural, vast site but the organization needs to be reviewed. Damage. Expensive compared to the services when you are not riding and it is hot, there is nothing to do.
November 21, 2022
Nice
+Incredible setting that allows you to disconnect, 1 hour from Paris. Decoration of common areas and general atmosphere of the place very relaxing and pleasant. Delicious dinner, nice restaurant menu (prefer the more intimate room on the left).
-The common areas are nevertheless quickly crowded in view of the number of rooms, it's a bit "factory". Not enough places to have a drink at the end of the day or after a romantic dinner… It's more of a family hotel.
November 20, 2022
Nice
+Exotic place less than an hour from Paris. The setting is sublime
-The food is not very quality. Bad value for money, few flavors in the dishes offered! The staff is friendly but still breaking in!
November 16, 2022
Relaxed luxury and serenity.
+The place is magnificent, with a vast park, a pond and perfectly maintained and arranged meadows. The old building which houses the common rooms and the vast veranda where the meals are served is of very fine proportions. The rooms (reception, games and reading room, reception) are warm, comfortable and welcoming. The more recent buildings that house the rooms are very pleasant, built mainly of wood on an Eiffel-type metal structure. The rooms are comfortable and very pleasantly decorated, managing not to give the impression of standard units. The bathrooms are large and perfectly equipped, with a color combination (black and cream yellow) which is a bit retro and very successful. Each room has a large and pleasant terrace. The service is impeccable. The team is young, professional, smiling and contributes powerfully to the enjoyment of the stay. As soon as we need someone, it materializes, without giving the impression of a somewhat heavy omnipresence. The spa is splendid and the massages sensational.
-There's nothing we didn't like. Two aspects could be improved. The first relates to the doors of the bedrooms opening onto the terrace (large glass door letting in a lot of light and embracing a vast view). They cannot be blocked and in case of wind snap. It's embarrassing if you want to sleep while letting air through and if, like us, you're traveling with your dog, scares him to death. The solution we found consisted in blocking the handle of the French window with a belt fixing it to the bars of the railing of the terrace. The second aspect concerns the meals, or more precisely, the main courses. They are decent enough, while the starters (prepared with vegetables from the property) and the desserts are delicious. This happened curiously at almost every meal. I don't know the cause. The contrast is a small disappointment.
November 10, 2022
Parenthesis of all rest!
+A total change of scenery a few minutes from Paris! The large spaces and the separation of guests who come for the weekend and people in seminars. The possibility of doing all the activities serenely even after checking out
-The staff is sometimes a little too familiar which is disconcerting at the time but it is not so embarrassing in the end. We will come back !
November 9, 2022
A seductive concept on paper but the reality is something else entirely...
+The arrival is pretty ... the authentic main building .. the presence of top horses ... the quality of the dishes offered ...
-On arrival a cold welcome without explanation of the concept and the place .. a bit of a station hall ... the modest room with the smell of sewage and broken TV and broken heating too .. after 2 calls we were changed rooms ... In fact, there is a lack of a manager to supervise the staff who are suddenly lobotized like any hotel ... we have to go fishing for information .. it's a shame and above all the opposite of the idea of departure ... you should follow the example of the Hotel Amour in Nice which is 100% successful in putting each guest in confidence and surrounded .. I dreamed of doing LE BARN .. I did it but I didn't Wouldn't go back and wouldn't recommend it to my friends..

Pleasant but overpriced hotel.
+Pitch Frame Horse
-Meals: limited menu barely renewed. Lots of out of stock dishes. Reservation required for all services (even breakfast). Lots of waiting. Rooms: no fan therefore forced to sleep with the window open or presence of a lot of mosquitoes (pond facing the room) organization: bad information from the staff on the activities. I inquired twice about one of them and they confirmed to me that it was cancelled. I was finally able to see that it had taken place without me since I had suddenly not presented myself

Paradise a few km from Paris
+the room, the place, the calm, the friendly atmosphere, the meals, the walks, the nature, the presence of the horses, … the list is long when you have loved everything. What probably touched us the most: the sense of welcome and friendliness of the staff! it has become so rare that it is important to underline it.
-well nothing… everything was perfect!
October 3, 2022
good but a bit expensive.
+the establishment is beautiful. very calm. well thought
-the price of the restoration is quite expensive. the drinks menu in particular. breakfast is okay. Above all, do not take it to your room: the menu is then more than basic.
