AT A GLANCE

• Faded charm but very pretty, great food and just a short drive from Les Aisses golf course.

ABOUT THE HOTEL

Slightly faded but nevertheless easy on the eye, Chateau les Muids pulls no punches: semi-moated, expansive gardens, award-winning cuisine (rated “Remarkable” by Chateaux et Hotels Collections), a range of bedrooms from small and basic in the annexe to tasteful and generous in the chateau, and a most charming and relaxed setting.

We like Chateau les Muids a lot for many reasons, one of which is its location – just a five-minute drive from the superb Les Aisses course with the town of La Ferte Saint Aubin a further three minutes away. And for an area which is unspoilt and rural, there is a good choice of restaurants should you want to venture afield from the hotel’s oak-panelled bar and dining room and peaceful garden terrace.

Expect a good welcome and a very soothing holiday.
