Overall Ratings & Reviews Belle Isle sur Risle

Upon arrival, we were greeted by the very charming and professional Jad. The property was stunning, the rooms grand, extremely clean and comfortable. Excellent facilities and a short drive or 20/30 minute walk into Pont-Audemer. We will certainly be visiting again in the future!

Unique chateau hotel in a unique and tranquil setting. We enjoyed the on-site spa facilities. The dining options were fantastic with great quality of food and attentive service, and a great wine selection. We’d definitely stay again if in the area.

Stephanie was a 7* host

A beautiful hotel and the staff were very attentive and accommodating with us and our two year old

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.

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.

A quiet and relaxing location with an excellent restaurant.

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.

Quiet and beautiful. Personnel were very friendly and helpful. Town was closed for dinner with many options. Breakfast and coffee were good

Very, very tired. Lovely house and location. Great garden, but hotel virtually untouched for decades. Also overpriced to start with and breakfast was extra.

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!

The grounds are wonderful with many trees. The restaurant is excellent. I recommend the duck, as the chef recommends - pink. The staff offered great suggestions and personalized the visit.

This family run hotel offers lots of ambiance. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the setting is in tranquil garden next to the river. The only negative is that the spa facilities were not all included and not all working.

Just a great place, handsome facility, friendly inn keepers, four delightful children and beautiful neighborhood.

19th century chateau lacking some of the modern amenities but with an excellent restaurant and very friendly staff.

Love love love!! Beautiful place and soroundings!! Gave us an upgrade free!!

Great stay, interesting area and fantastic hotel set within large gardens own island, food was very good but a little pricey.

Lovely hotel in a quiet location in a busy French market town. Very good service and nice modern accommodation. Both an indoor and outdoor pool. Nice grounds, though a little bit run down. Excellent wi-fi. The restaurant is expensive though when compared to restaurants in the town.

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..
