Domaine de Barive les Epicuriens

A wonderful and peaceful stop a little way off the autobahn. The Epicurean Restaurant is very special and the staff are all helpful friendly and efficient. A really special place to break a journey overnight or relax for a few days.

Just read another recent review and it could well have been written by me.... We stayed here en route to the Alps. Only a one night stay in a Junior Suite with access to the walled garden. What a fabulous place. Tucked away seemingly in the middle of nowhere it is quite a find. Lovely welcome drink by the fire in the lounge, great spacious comfortable suite and then the dinner which was quite frankly superb. Great service and great food. Two other couples we spoke to were on return trips and i can see why. Highly recommended.

This chateau is beautiful. We had a lovely room (not in the main building) which had a living area, bedroom, bathroom and separate toilet. Everything was spotlessly clean and our dog was very happy with a huge enclosed garden just outside! Our evening meal was tasty, although we did have to ask if our food was on its way after one and a quarter hours. Breakfast was help yourself. No cooked options, but perfectly adequate. It’s about 30 mins off the A26, but well worth the detour. Hope to return one day.

Lovely domaine/hotel surrounded by fields,forest and nature for long walks with professional friendly staff. Impressive menu and for days restaurant is closed a good mini menu. Modern bathrooms & amenities - spa/ pool.

A wonderful short stay. Welcoming staff. Room very spacious with massive bathroom and bed with private terrace. Had tasting menu as a special treat and it was superb (some of the best food we have ever tasted). Will definitely return.

Super nice Hotel, in the middle of nowhere amazing rooms we had a Junior suite super nice out side the hotel in side you can do spa. Negative point is the non organisation of the staff, young and not particularly kind. We had dinner there, standard food and waiters that seemed lost.

An immaculate hotel with a fine interior and gardens. The wine selection was overpriced hence the stay was more expensive than it could have been.

Excellent all round and we may well return. Our visit however was affected by noisy building work on the reception area which we were not pre-warned of. Also seemed to coincide with gardening works which appear to happen on Monday...so maybe a day to avoid if it's peace and quiet you're after. Food and wine excellent, as you would expect at the price, and rooms very comfortable. Staff all absolutely charming !

Beautiful situation and very friendly staff. We were lucky to be given a suite next to other family members, which was very comfortable and perfectly sound-proofed. Dinner was tasty though the service was a bit slow considering there were few guests while we were there. Then again, we felt able to take our time over our meal and were never rushed. Vegetarian options were minimal but the kitchen will try to make something if you ask. The spa area was a nice addition. All in all a really comfortable stay.
