Abbaye des Vaux de Cernay

I booked this room as a surprise for my partner on the occasion of our anniversary. The experience was nothing short of amazing. We stayed in one of the rooms of the farm and our welcome was impeccable with staff answering our questions and providing helpful information including calling up a local restaurant to make a booking and then creating a booking at one of the restaurants in site when we found out the local restaurant was closed for renovations. The bikes were great and we enjoyed the pool with the service there also very welcoming and kind. I booked the brunch at the refectory which was lovely but probably should have just had breakfast at the farm as it also looked lovely. Overall, an incredibly relaxing experience for us both. Really impressed by all the staff we interacted with and can’t wait to come back again.

This is one of the best stays we've ever had. The place is incredibly beautiful, a short ride from Paris but a country retreat that feels far removed. There are amenities-a-plenty -- boats, bikes, cinema, heated pool, gouter and karaoke -- but what sets Abbay des Vaux de Cernay apart are the rich interiors and doting staff. Robin constantly made himself available to meet our every need from an introduction to the property, trips to the farm and meals and genuine courtesy. Thank you to him and to all of the hotel staff for making it such a pleasant stay. We'll be back soon.

It is a beautiful setting, but this beauty is not worth its horrible service and staff. ||Thank goodness I only traveled 3 hrs to get here but I cannot imagine traveling far to get to this beautiful place and be so let down. ||When we were originally dropped off, we had no idea where to go and we asked the driver where to go to check in and he said “I don’t know”. ||Then there is no air conditioning which should be made WAY MORE clear on their website. ||We did see a fan in our room, but to no surprise we plugged it in and it did not work. We tried to find a reception number anywhere but could not so I went down to reception and waited for a while, all the while the staff was having a casual conversation just chilling out while multiple people were waiting. They said that the fan doesn’t work. And there was no solution. So what is the point of even putting the fan in the room. ||Also confused on how every restaurant is booked? And it is extremely difficult to get in contact with staff. ||So sadly, the architectural beauty is not worth the stay. Hopefully a bigger company maybe LVMH or another hospitality company can come in and buy it and completely do a 180, so this place can actually live up to its full potential. ||I have stayed at places with half this estate’s beauty and because of the staff and rooms and decoration was 100000x better than this.

Over rated brunch for the price ! Spend your brunch money at Bel Ami in Paris for half th... Oct 2025 • Friends We came for the brunch at €149.00 Euros per person for all you can eat. To be frank, it is not worth the price unless you eat a lot of ... save your money and eat elsewhere. The quality of the food was alright and the service so so. Save your money and for the same amount eat at Yannick Alleno' brunch in Paris at the Pavilion! You will not get the surroundings atmosphere you get at the Abbaye but as far as the food it's not comparable for the same price! We came across many snob Bourgeois Parisians staying overnight there ...: so the crowd might not be for everyone! The grounds are amazing though

The property is very beautiful, with many different areas surrounded by nature, tastefully decorated in a style reminiscent of an English cottage, cosy and perfect for the winter season. However, the service still needs significant improvement and is not yet up to the standards expected by a luxury clientele. I found the team to be particularly disorganized. Room quality varies significantly depending on the building in which you’re staying, some are spacious and welcoming, while others are quite small. It’s also important to note that the property does not have air conditioning, so during warmer seasons, attic rooms can become uncomfortably hot.

Staying at this magical old world resort was amazing. My husband and I went with my daughter son in law and two children. There is so much for families to do between swimming, biking (appropriate sized bikes are staged all over the resort), arcade with tons of games (all free to play) kids club with games, role play cafe and kitchen, climbing area etc. Breakfast is included and quite a spread! There are paddle boats, tennis courts and a farm with a petting animals. Too much to do for one weekend. We will be back!

Absolutely loved our stay. We booked the smaller room and were upgraded to another gorgeous room. The service was great, very attentive and kind. The breakfast was such a gorgeous spread. Highly recommend!

A very special, unique experience. Highly recommend. The detail and effort put into this domaine is admirable. All staff was superb-thank you to all. We will be back.

What a wonderful hotel! It is an old abbey in the middle of the forest in Rambouillet. When I visited last year I was attending a very serious and highly charged executive committee meeting for work. Inside the meeting room things were quite tense but outside the snow came down and when we retired to the common areas with their huge fires and the dining room with the wonderful food, all of the tension melted away. It was a perfect picture postcard scene with the cold and snow outside and a roaring fire in the lounge. The only downside would be that if you have a bedroom anywhere near the large fireplaces, your room and clothing stored there will smell of smoke.
