we had a FABULOUS and all too short stay here !! - This B&B is 50 meters from Castle Entrance, wonderfully restored building. You can really imagine going back in time. Cosy communal sitting space indoors AND outdoors. Delicious Breakfast (way too abundant for the little climb afterwards to the castle ;-) ... ) Our room was the biggest we had had in France, and the Bathroom was very original and so beautiful. Our room looked out on the castle, which was an unexpected bonus. Parking possible at 50 meters, else 100. Great selection of restaurants at walking distance.

NOTHING to report !!

We had a very comfortable overnight stay at Il etait une fois, at the foot of the chateau in Pierrefonds. Our room was spacious and quiet. We liked the quirky light fittings and general decor. Parking on the street nearby was not an issue. The friendly hostess provided some of her lovely home-baked goods for breakfast - rolls, jams and croissants. We enjoyed our stay and would happily return. The b&b is close to lovely patisseries etc. We enjoyed the pedalos on the lake and had a very good evening meal at the Castello restaurant, which catered for vegans, too.

We would prefer to have the facility (a kettle!) to make drinks in the bedroom.

Where to start?! The quality, style and quirky touches in this gorgeous place instantly made us feel welcome, as did the wonderful Marie-Lin. She and her partner clearly put their heart and soul into restoring this building, creating a truly unique hotel, and seem to take as much joy in hosting as we did in staying here. So many thoughtful touches for the guests, and the warmest, friendly host you could wish to meet. We had the honour of sharing a meal with our hosts and the food was exceptional. It honestly could not have been any better.

Nothing not to like.

Absolutely amazing! We stayed in the three bedroom apartment and it was fantastic. It was large enough to comfortably accommodate six adults. There is one bathroom in the apartment and one more shared in the hallway. Parking in the neighborhood was easy. The breakfast was fantastic with homemade pastries and good coffee. The hostess, Marie-Line is exceptionally hospitable and charming. The bed linens were so comfortable and ample towels were provided. The seating areas are lovely for socializing or reading books. Every detail is designed for comfort and elegance.

Lovely and stylish place in front of the castle, very tastefully decorated… Room was large with a beautiful bathroom. Excellent breakfast with homemade jam and croissant The owners are extremely nice , friendly and helpful. These people are passionate about their job and know how to please their guests from A to Z. The lady gave me some valuable and useful information about sympathetic places to visit in the surroundings. I am very grateful for that.. I highly recommend this extraordinary guesthouse.

The fact of leaving

Marie is the best host and was so welcoming. Her bed and breakfast is full of charm and is very clean and comfortable. She made us a delicious breakfast. I would love to stay here again. We came to see the castle but the town is wonderful as well. Loved our stay!

We came in August so it was quite warm and of course no air conditioning. We slept with the window open but a fan would have been helpful to cool the room. Wouldn’t stop me from staying here again though because I loved this place so much!

The owner was very friendly and helpful. The location is amazing, right across the castle and it's very quiet. The rooms were comfy, had a nice design, and the beds were comfortable. Breakfast was fresh, self-made and delicious (made by the owner). This place is perfect for a quiet retreat and some rest. We will definitely be coming back!

Everything was perfect, no complaints.

Our hostess Marie-Line is a superb host with great sense of humor. She makes homemade croissants and bread EVERY DAY! Such a treat to look out our window at sunset or during the night and see the Pierrefond Castle... like a fairy tale. Enjoyed walking to the restaurants and shops in the pretty little town!!

Wish we could've stayed longer!!

We were very well looked after from the moment we arrived. The downstairs was cool and airy and our host showed us a lounge we could relax in - outdoor areas we might like to use. A complimentary coffee area in lounge and a fridge with drinks (and honesty box). Our room was the attic floor - the Jules Verne suite, beautifully decorated and again well equipped with windows that gave you a view on all sides - including onto the castle and across the town. There were two separate bedrooms (a double and a twin) that opened onto a large central area with seating. And a bathroom with a large shower area. Breakfast was excellent, beautifully prepared and enjoyed by everyone! Marie-Line was an excellent host and we would love to return one day!

We loved everything about it! The decoration of the rooms, the warmth of the hosts. The delicious meal with our hosts. We have never eaten so well! The breakfast is also copious and homemade. Best croissant I have ever had. You are right next to the castle with a stunning view. I can’t thank our hosts Marieline & Clement enough!!
