Château de Clermont

"What a wonderful place. What peaked our interest first was seeing there was a swimming pool. But that paled in comparison with the great welcome by Thibault. Our room was expansive, on the 2nd floor with a wall of windows overlooking the backyard. Dinner, by Thibault, was excellent, set in a glassed-in alcove. It consisted of 4 courses and was reasonably priced. Well worth it. We enjoyed the Château so much we stayed an extra night. We would recommend this bed and breakfast to family and friends."

"We are just back from our 4-night stay in the lovely relaxing atmosphere of the Chateau de Clermont. The room has a beautiful view of green fields and you can hear the sound of birdsong. We also enjoyed the indoor pool. The owner/manager is extremely friendly and helpful, and prepares beautiful gourmet food from local ingredients. The cost of staying is surprisingly reasonable. The location is about 3 hours on the motorway from Calais, and once there you can easily get to the Champagne country (Reims) or even Belgium. We will certainly come back for a shopping and relaxing tour. We bought delicious vegetables and fruit from the automatic dispenser in nearby Montcornet. |Cheese and wine are local specialities. We highly recommend this small private hotel."

"The breakfast was lovely - we needed to set off early Sunday morning and the host was really accommodating opening early for us and putting on drinks plus fresh bread, croissants, jam and yoghurts - we really appreciated the effort and it was all served in the amazing dining area with lovely views of the garden.|We also booked an evening meal for the night of our stay which was absolutely delicious and such good value. The service by the whole team was brilliant and we enjoyed some lovely wine too.|Whilst we did not get chance to use it due to our short stay, the indoor pool is really lovely - a good size and heated - if we visit again ( and we hope we do) we would definitely make use of it.|Finally the whole chateau is just beautiful, renovated to a high standard with its own distinct style - lots of amazing art and antiquities decorating the rooms. The bedrooms were also lovely and ours had lovely views of the generous gardens - great for watching the many birds.|A really lovely find and a great end to our holiday in France"

"Chateau de Clermont is a wonderful place and a great choice - especially if you are looking for something out of the ordinary. With the quality of any good 3 star hotel, it is so much more personal, welcoming and cosy than any hotel that I've stayed at and so much better quality than many B&B's that I've seen. The rooms are cozy, spacious and artistically decorated with finesse and fine taste, which gives each room a unique feel. Agnès, the lady of the manor, is a gifted painter and her paintings give the chateau a special touch. The whole place is family run (with one of the sons being the cook!) and the care and togetherness is felt throughout. The dinner (table d'hôte) is wonderful and tasty - with very fresh ingredients (some from the garden!) and prepared with care. With an entree, plat, fromage and delicious (self made) desert, it is (ful)filling and very reasonably priced. The breakfast is excellent. One of the daughter's is opening a spa soon next to the indoor swimming pool. The chateau has its own walled garden, which gives it quietness and feeling of being in a little oasis. The sound of the wind through the trees is utterly relaxing. The landscape around is not superb, but within 10-30 minutes by car, there are hills and forests to be enjoyed. The family is very warm and welcoming. The personal touch and feel of this Chambre d'Hôte is truly unique and I'm definitely coming back here!"

"We had a wonderful time staying in this hotel. ||||I believe most of the hotel rooms are located in what used to be a stable, adjacent to the main house. It has now been fully converted and is beautifully decorated. We stayed in one of the family rooms. The layout was great, with a big King bed on the main floor of our room and a loft above with two single beds for the children. ||||Our kids loved hanging out in the large garden with the animals (there are horses, dogs, cats, chickens and - when we were there - a couple of rescued baby hedgehogs). The family hosting us were charming and extremely welcoming. We enjoyed our dinner with them immensely and the food was fantastic. ||||There is a nice sized indoor pool which we all really enjoyed. ||||All-in-all it was a great opportunity for us to relax and enjoy the French countryside and get to experience a taste of the French country life. ||||If you're looking for a clinical urban hotel feel then this is not the place for you. If you're looking for a really unique and authentic experience then definitely give it a try."
