Logis Hôtel & Restaurant Chateau de la Marjolaine

We stayed for a couple of nights recently and our hosts were really charming, but perhaps a little too laid back for us. Having arrived direct from the UK at about 4.0pm one of the rooms was not ready and although tea and coffee was supposed to be in the rooms there was no tea or milk provided until we asked. More importantly in view of our long journey we had pre-booked a meal in the restaurant, only to be told without prior notice that it was closed that night and we should dine out. We did have a meal in the Chateau the following night and it was very good indeed. The rooms were fine and clean although the separate wc to our suite was out of order and the bed was very hard. The chateau is full of tired elegance but is a lovely old building and the gardens running down the the River Marne are beautiful. One point to note: access to the lower car park is not good. It is ok for a family saloon and we just about made it in with our cars. It is not however a place to bring your Ferrari! This hotel is very relaxing and will suit some but not others. With a little effort it has so much more potential.

Beautiful old house with lovely large rooms and a large walled parking area. Excellent onsite small restaurant so book in advance. Owner has a beautiful wine selection as well. Too cold to use the pool but we loved walking along the river that runs in front of the house. Very close to good champagne houses and an 20 minute drive to larger walking villages and beautiful dining options. The owners/managers were very kind and helpful for touring suggestions.

An exceptional stay, a helpful staff, still small improvements to be planned for the hotel but it will be done with time (new owner) A simple and refined cuisine, the restaurant is decorated with care both modern and classic. Thank you very much and good luck for the future
