The chalet room we were given was like a prefabricated hut. It smelt musty when we went in and we had to open all the windows and doors to get rid of the smell. It was badly in need of refurbishment and was not clean - there were spiders webs, spiders and centipedes in the room. We did not have... More

We booked here whilst on a touring holiday in France last year, using one of the late booking sites so got an excellent deal. Whilst not easy to find, it is in a beautiful setting. We had a room in the Orangery and were welcomed by efficient staff and reserved a table for dinner in the Cellar. Full of history,... More

Having read the reviews, we knew that the cheapest rooms were in the park 200m from the Chateau and the Prestige rooms in the Chateau itself. We booked one of each! Versailles, on the first floor, with curved blacony window, exceeded all expectations - huge room, 10 ft ceilings, impeccable historic decor, modern bathroom, comfortable bed,,,etc The chalet accomodation was...

Stayed here years ago, but needed a nice hotel to round off a week's touring in Europe. We looked in St. Quentin, but weren't impressed, so drove the extra mile to Cambrai, and returned to this hotel. Impressive facade, great service, and lovely clean comfortable rooms, we had one in the Orangerie, very nice, and good value. Free Wi-fi, but... More

We were not sure what to expect because you have to drive through a council estate to arrive at the property. Yet, as soon as you drive through the gates of the hotel's magnificient park, you step back in time. This nineteenth century's "nouveau rich" mansion provided us with a peaceful retreat from the long drive back to the UK... More

We were located in the Annex which was dirty, dead insects in corners of the room and windows and carpet very stained, Facilities basic and very tired but cheap. The main Chateau was lovely and staff were very friendly and welcoming. Plenty of parking and the Chateau has a really interesting history. More

Booked hotel as part of a Times readers special offer without looking at reviews. Feared the worse before travelling but these were completely unfounded. Yes, not too easy to find with instructions provided but this is where a good satnav system comes in use. Unfortunately,half the streets in Cambrai were being dug up on the day of our arrival so...

We stayed for three nights in one of the solid, brick-built chalets in the charming grounds. Our room was warm, comfortable and quiet with plenty of soap, shampoo and hot water, generally very good value for money. Other reviewers have obviously been unlucky; on our last night there was some sort of salesmans' convention on, all the chalets were full... More

We don't appreciate being lied to. This highly overrated dump is in a dreadful, rough part of the outskirts of Cambrai. NOWHERE was it even suggested that our room would not be in the chateau but one of the dirty, scruffy, damp, smelly, tiny, little chalets (furnished by an incompetant DIY idiot) at the bottom of the garden. By the... More
