Great location, very calm and green, the property itself is beautiful, staff was very helpful and friendly, restaurant is top notch, the building itself is amazing, unfortunately there is a serious lack of maintenance which is visible every where, the rooms in the tower were very basic, we were upgraded to a suite in the main building which was very nice but still the hotel needs a lot of work all around. Also the pictures online make the hotel look more luxurious than it really is. In my opinion the hotel is a 3 star and not a 4 star. I truly hope the owners will work to improve the property as it could really be amazing.

We've stayed in the standard room, I wouldn’t recommend it for a couple. The area of the rooms doesn’t smell good, room was too small so we couldn’t move after opening the bags.

Très belle expérience dans un château magnifique. Le cadre autour est exceptionnel, avec de belles balades, de séjourner au château apporte un réel plus car on peut garer la voiture au pied des centres d'intérêt la où les autres doivent se garer loin

Hôtellerie patrimoniale et excellent accueil
Un site exceptionnel en pleine nature jurassienne.
Un accueil excellent dans un site patrimonial.
Un séjour court car professionnel.
Mais nouvelle escapade à prévoir en famille avec sentiers de randonnés et VTT. La piscine pour soigner les muscles.

Komfortabler Ort zum Entspannen
Das Hotel liegt abgeschieden am Ende eines Tals im Jura. Es ist ein ehemaliges Mühlengut mit Bergfried. Die Inneneinrichtung ist edel, die Zimmer sind komfortabel, groß und geschmackvoll renoviert. Das Frühstücksbüffet ist gut. Es gibt nach Voranmeldung Essen im Restaurant, die Menüs liegen zwischen 48 und 117 €. Die Umgebung ist sehr schön. Ein Wasserfall liegt direkt neben dem Frühstücksraum, zwei weitere Wasserfälle sind eine gute Viertelstunde zu Fuß entfernt. In das Hotel zu kommen ist eher schwierig, da die Rezeption nur von 15.30 bis 19 Uhr besetzt ist. Man braucht zur Einfahrt durch das Tor einen Code (oder muss warten, bis jemand anderes kommt) oder ruft an. Beim Ausstellen der Rechnung musste ich reklamieren, da die Anzahlung online im Voraus übersehen wurde.

Großartiges Hotel und Restaurant
Die Bilder können nicht zeigen, wie wunderbar dieses Hotel ist. Wir hatten selten eine so phantastische Unterkunft. Zimmer mit Terrasse direkt am Wasserfall, urgemütliche Atmosphäre.
Gegen den ursprünglichen Plan haben wir dann noch Abendessen und Frühstück genommen und auch das war erstklassig.
Wir werden wiederkommen!
