"The setting in a half-timbered country house on the main square of Lyons-la-Forêt — officially designated one of the Most Beautiful Villages of France — is almost impossibly picturesque. Hôtel Le Grand Cerf & SPA occupies a 17th-century coaching inn, and many of its historic details, including rustic wooden beams, stone staircases, and open fireplaces, have been carefully preserved. But rooms have a woodsy, bohemian-chic look inspired by the surrounding beech forest." - Tablet Hotels
