A Preserved French Manor in White Town

Garden, Terrace and Library Spaces

Common areas include a garden, terrace, swimming pool and restaurant integrated into the historic property. A library/workspace is also listed, reinforcing the residential character of the former manor-house setting.

Six Garden-View Suites within a Historic House

A Small Collection of Individual Suites

Accommodation is limited to six suites, with descriptions indicating individualized layouts within the heritage structure rather than uniform corridor-style rooms. All rooms are described as having views over the hotel garden.

Selected Suites with Separate Living Areas

The suite inventory includes varied layouts, including a configuration with a full bed and sofa bed in a living room. The differing arrangements reflect the building’s converted-house character.

24-Hour Front Office and Local Assistance
