The Gate house

A fantastic property within easy walking distance to the town. The location is very quiet. All that you need in there and little touches like fresh milk, butter and champagne in the fridge were very welcome after a long drive. I would highly recommend this plac Thanks Steve Ellis

A Beautiful Hidden Getaway

This is a fantastic property, hidden away in the forest right by the château and less than 10 minutes walk from all the facilities in Pierrefonds. The property is ideal to relax in and has everything you need to have an enjoyable stay. Our host made us very welcome and we look forward to returning again soon.

Fantastic!

This is a perfect place to stay in Pierrefonds. The gite is immaculate & in a wonderful rural setting. Florence was a great host (even though she was away on her holiday she kept in touch to check everything was ok). Myself, my husband & our dog felt very welcome. Florence had left toiletries, milk, butter, Champagne & nibbles for us on arrival which was lovely. Pierrefonds itself is a beautiful village with bakeries, butchers & restaurants, the location couldn't have been better. We enjoyed some lovely walks in the area and had a thoroughly enjoyable relaxing holiday....we will definitely return. A truly 5 star place to stay!

Pierrefonds accommodation

This is a lovely little house in the beautiful village of Pierrefonds. The village has everything you need - a range of restaurants, good independent boulangeries/boucheries and a little supermarket - as well as the magnificent chateau (which would be well worth a trip even if they tripled the entry price). We rented bikes to go on the cycle paths through the Foret de Compiegne - recommended. Florence and Herve were perfect hosts - a nice welcome when we arrived, restaurant recommendations and happy to help sorting out things on the phone like bike rental. We were there for a month, which meant welcoming family visitors from the UK over weekends. The location worked really well as it is only 2.5 hours drive from Calais for people taking the Eurotunnel, and only 45 minutes drive from Charles de Gaulle airport. The size of the property was perfect for just the two of us, and still OK but a bit cramped when visitors came. Florence was so helpful in making sure all our guests had clean sheets, etc., ready for arrival. The house was kept spotlessly clean throughout. We would definitely stay again next time we visit the Compiegne area.

Beautiful gite in a wonderful location.

If you are reading this review then you are probably considering staying at Le Grand Autreval - in which case don't hesitate, this is a beautiful gite and definitely the best place to stay in Pierrefonds. The owners are lovely hosts and have created a warm and welcoming but also very stylish place to stay. The location can't be bettered, set very peacefully along a rural private drive that literally hugs the base of the chateau mount, about 5 mins walk from the centre of the town. There are two spacious bedrooms with very comfortable beds and French linen, a lovely lounge/kitchen with hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher and TWO coffee-machines (Nespresso-style and filter - with extremely nice coffee provided for each), and a big bathroom with monsoon shower and separate toilet. A large selection of towels are provided and there is also a hairdryer. It was the little added touches that made it particularly special however - mini toiletries, gorgeous home-made jams, champagne, juice, water and butter etc, logs loaded ready to go in the wood-fired stove, and more ... Outside there is a small seating area and a barbecue, again with wood and briquettes provided. A beautiful place that we truly didn't want to leave. It is well worth staying in Pierrefonds rather than just visiting for the day. We decided to holiday here because of our two 'Merlin'-mad children and are delighted we did so. It is a delightful small town, with a friendly traditional cafe, lovely boulangerie and boucherie, a bank, post office, useful greengrocer, pharmacy and a few other restaurants and cafes (and you can find Carrefour and Lidl in nearby Compiegne). The Chateau (BBC's 'Camelot') is a stunning, complete castle, and remarkably cheap by UK standards (free under the age of 26!, and only 6 euros per adult). We easily spent a couple of days there playing knights and set-spotting. Taking a pedalo on the town lake is a must, while my children also discovered a passion for mini-golf. But Pierrefonds is also a great base for exploring the wider area and a quieter place to stay than the town of Compiegne - the beautiful forest, the Palais de Compiegne, Chantilly, the train carriage where WW1 Armistice was signed, many of the WW1 cemeteries etc are all short drives away. Paris and Disneyland are also in easy reach if you want more bustle. To sum up, you can't fail to have a lovely holiday if you stay here. We cannot recommend it highly enough and are already planning to come back next year!!!

A beautiful place to stay

The cottage is very comfortable, and renovated to a high standard, with everything you need included. The complimentary drinks, nibbles and home made jam were a very generous touch from the owners, who were the delightfully helpful throughout our stay. The surrounding area is beautiful, the owners house and the castle, breathtaking, and the village has patisseries, bars and restaurants. There are plenty of cycle tracks and footpaths nearby and other small villages of historical interest in the area. We found a particularly good restaurant at St Jean Aux Bois about 4 miles away called Auberge A La Bonne Idée which is a real treat. Overall we had a great time here and would recommend this cottage to anyone thinking of staying.

A very special French rural experience.

Petite and bijou, beautifully modernised and comfortably equipped. The owners gave us a very warm welcome and provided a generous fridge pack. The lodge is set in a small garden amongst countryside within easy walking distance of Pierrefonds and it's many historic attractions, high quality restaurants, patisserie and deli. The larger Town of Compeigne is within easy driving distance. We will return and happily recommend this cottage for its position, facilities and the care and consideration shown by Monsieur and Madame Demouy. Pat and Alan Powell, UK

The gite was absolutely amazing! We were so impressed with the location, you can see the Chateux from the property! You do not need a car when you stay here and visit Pierrefonds. The gite is beautifully finished, you can tell that huge time and effort have been spent to ensure you holiday with a little luxury. Many extras left for our benefit! Champagne included! Lovely family, lovely town, lovey beds! I can't recommend this place highly enough, if you are going to Pierrefonds, don't book the hotel book this! Thank you to you all for making our holiday so great!

Perfect!

A slice of heaven! Florence's cottage was the perfect place to begin our visit to France. Less than an hour's drive from CDG, but a world away! Peaceful, perfectly appointed, and magically situated near base the castle. Florence was incredibly gracious, kind and responsive. I will never forgot the view of the hydrangeas she'd placed on the ledge outside the living room window. I can't wait to go back!

Fabulous 2nd stay in Pierrefonds

We love staying in this perfect for 2 people gatehouse on a lovely estate. It is a short walk into Pierrefonds but is in the countryside and is very quiet. The on-site owner has provided everything you need. The place is spotless! Pierrefonds is a gem with artisanal bakeries, charcuterie and is less than an hour from CDG. We’re coming back at the end of this trip!

Fijn verblijf.

Het is leuk, klein maar zeer netjes onderhouden en gezellig huisje. Alles is uitgebreid aanwezig. Er was koffie, thee, water, melk, en boter aanwezig. Heel fijn als je op doorreis bent. Mooie badkamer en 2 slaapkamers. Een minpuntje is dat wij het voor 4 mensen een te kleine woonruimte vinden. Voor 2 personen is dit huisje perfect. Mooie omgeving en leuk dorp. Echt aan te raden.

Great place to stay an hour from CDG

We planned to stay here for 2 nights before flying home. We easily could have stayed longer. The cottage is perfectly equipped, immaculate, and lovely, too. The owner Florence lives in the bigger house on the large estate and is very helpful and friendly. Pierrefonds is a really neat town with the famous castle in view from the house. It is very quiet, too. Highly recommend.
