We stayed here two years ago and loved it! We decided, despite it being one hours drive from CDG, to stay here on our last night in France having toured for five days in Bourgogne. St Jean Aux bois itself seems to be more "gentrified" than previously; although still a very pretty village. We surmised, since many well-maintained properties were... More

The main problem with my room was that it is built into the eaves of the roof and this meant only Velox type rooflights illuminate the room. There are blind on the rooflights but if the rooflight is opened daylight floods in! The bath/shower is built under the eaves so it is impossible to shower, only to spray water at... More

I agree completely with most of the recent reviews of this place, the restaurant was absolutely amazing, the best food that we had eaten on our road trip through france. I would happily pay double the amount that we did for supper. This being the end of our honeymoon we opted to splash out and stay in the suite, it... More

The real secret of this Auberge is the restaurant. Michelin star quality without the mark-up. The hotel itself is a lovely, well restored old row of cottages. Lots of wooden beans everywhere and a nice cost atmosphere. The room was comfortable, not large, but nicely decorated in a rustic style. The restaurant is superb. This is why you should stay... More

We booked on advice of the Times 2010 top 100 hotel in Europe. The hotel is situated in the picturesque, tiny village of St Jean aux Bois in Picardy which is one of the most beautiful parts of France and only 2 hours from Calais so the perfect stop over either heading to or from the UK. Although only 2... More

We have just returned from a road trip to France where we stayed at this hotel for one night. we had followed the Sunday Times reccomendation of the best hotels in France. We opted for the comfort room at €85 a night thinking it would be fine...it wasn't. Those rooms have not been refurbished for years and are not up... More

Had one disasterous night here, that couldn't be avoided. The staff were very friendly, but that was possibly the only thing the place had going for it. The paper thin walls allowed the noise of amorous adventures and even just conversation to carry straight through for nearby rooms. in the end I had to talk through the wall to tell... More

We came across this lovely place when we were driving through the area. As it was the only restaurant open in the area we stopped for lunch. We had our very grubby toddler with us and the staff didn't bat an eyelid, although I wouldn't say this is the most child-friendly place (white linen tablecloths and fancy cutlery are the... More

My wife and just I spent the weekend in this hotel, under an hour's drive from our home in Paris. Charming staff, good food, a beautiful location. In short France at its relaxed best. More

Beautiful - very French hotel. Lovely stylish rooms. Delicious food. Staff were polite and the atmosphere pleasant. Only stayed one night, got there late and left early, but I'd stay there again. Possibly somewhere to overnight if you're driving through France. Not the cheapest, but the area is tres jolie! More
