My husband and I had a wonderful long weekend at The French Manor. This lovely Inn is located in a beautiful setting. So beautiful and peaceful. The staff is incredible! So kind and accommodating. The dining experience was superb! You can't go wrong with this location. Highly recommend!!! After we left I wanted this picture of the row of mums in the entrance. One of the staff took the time to go out and take this picture for me and emailed it to me. Thank you.

Went for a kids free, relaxing getaway and it was exactly what we had hoped. Quiet, private, relaxing, good food. We liked the little hike, using the spa, having the restaurant on site and just being able to really get away and relax. We'd love to come back!

Beautiful location! Views were lovely but wish the trees didn’t block most of it but other than that was very lovely. Had dinner via room service, was hot and delicious and decent portions. Breakfast in the dining room was included with our stay and the atmosphere, service and meal were all excellent. We stayed in the Evian suite and the room was incredible. The view from the balcony was so beautiful, morning coffee was extra enjoyable and I didn’t want to leave. The shower was so large and hot water pressure was very good. The whirlpool tub was very clean and the complimentary essentials body wash was delightful! And finally the bed.. best sleep I’ve had ever in any place away from home. I will be returning just for the bed.
All in all we had an amazing time and it was a spur of the moment stop so we didn’t even get to experience all that was offered so we will definitely be back

This is our second visit within the year! Both times in September for our wedding anniversary. The massages at the spa, the food, room service, service from all staff, sitting areas, the rooms and the view are marvelous! We also love the chef chosen 5 course meal with drink pairing!
