Belle Isle Sur Risle - Pont-Audemer, France 

Estancia de fin de semna a comienzos del lluvioso junio de 2007. Magnífico y tranquilo entorno de jardin y edificio. Amabilidad apreciable de los propietarios. Sin embargo, lentitud exasperante en el restaurante, 3 horas para cenar 2, desayunos modestos y, sobre todo, descuidos imperdonables para el precio pagado: piscina (agua y tumbonas) sucias y cambio de toallas en la habitación a voluntad del hotel. Nosotros no volveremos.

We stayed here in July 2006; it is nicely located just on the outskirts of the town, seemingly in a slightly industrial area, off the road and sited on it's own 3 acre island in the Risle river. Surprisingly quiet, the overlooks from the rooms are green and pleasant and in summer a stroll around the grounds relaxing. Rooms maintained daily with bedlinen turned down each evening. Staff are attentive but unobtrusive. We stayed for 4 nights touring the area, and intended to try the restaurant for one night but the food was well presented and quite delicious so we ate there each evening. Internal heated swimming pool and cold water external pool overlooks river. Safe car parking, but a good 20 minute walk into town. We found costs to be on expensive side and were disappointed to be charged for swimming robes & towels. Also, a basis continental breakfast would have been better than having to pick 7 items from a list the previous day, to us it seemed to demean the aura of the place.
