L'Orangerie

Don’t think I can find the words to praise L’Orangerie and David and Niels enough! Dinner and breakfast stupendous and generous – so well thought out and cooked, and their wine choices wonderful. Rooms delightful and beds comfortable. We could have spent days poring over the books in the living room and hearing about the background of the two hosts and the history and countries they knew about. A delightful and fascinating couple. We stayed 2 nights - not enough so we’ll be back.

We have just enjoyed our third wonderful weekend stay with David and Niels, the most generous, warm and welcoming of hosts. As before, every single detail was exquisite. I agree with the other reviewer that the breakfast is the best you will enjoy in France, made even more memorable by the beautiful salon setting. David also cooked an excellent dinner for us on the first evening, which was such a treat after the drive from Paris. There is so much to explore in the neighborhood, not least a walk across the lane to stock up with excellent wine from Domaine Pigneret.

A two nights stay at l’Orangerie was a fantastic start to a holiday in France - the only fault being that we didn’t stay longer. David is the perfect host, cooking a sublime meal for one night and ensuring that we had everything for a picnic in the garden for our second night. Our bedrooms were spotless and well equipped. I will simply say that the breakfasts that David served were the best we have had anywhere in France - over many years. A real find to which we will return.

This was our second stay at L'Orangerie and once again everything was perfect: fabulous hosts, a warm welcome, a beautiful room and an exquisite breakfast. It really is faultless. David and Nils always have the best restaurant recommendations too. We will be hoping to fit in another couple of days there in July.
