Our 2 hosts, Stephanie and Morgan, could not have been more thoughtful or kind.  We were surprised the rooms were a short way from the main hotel- but in the end loved the calm, comfortable location.  It is a perfect spot to experience Monet’s home and gardens and the beauty of Giverney.

Delightful Maison a delightful walk from the main hotel.

I spent one night at this charming hotel down the street from the entrance to Monet's Garden. My room was on the ground floor and had a large tub. (If you want a room with a shower instead, make sure your request it!). The room was quiet and the bed very comfortable.

I had also booked dinner and it was everything I could have hoped for. As a solo traveler, they provided me with a large stuffed teddy bear as my "date". I thought that was such a cute idea. The food was delicious and I can't give it enough accolades. The wait staff was also amazing.

I had arrived by train in the town of Vernon - about a 15 minute taxi ride from the hotel. When I got dropped off, I booked a ride with this same driver to take me to the train station the next afternoon. I needed to catch the only train running on Sunday afternoon back to Paris  in order to catch my international flight the next morning. Fast forward to Sunday afternoon - no taxi appears! By the time we knew that the taxi wasn't going to come, it was too late to book another one. This is when hotel staff showed just how fantastic they are.  The lovely lady at the front desk interrupted a staff meeting and the evening pastry chef volunteered to take me to the station in his own car. He got me to the station with 3 minutes to spare!

This hotel gets a six star rating from me and I look forward to staying there again!

The Beautiful Hotel Le Jardin des Plumes!

One night wasn’t enough and I look forward to coming back! This is a charming, small hotel in easy walking distance to Monet’s gardens. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful - I would’ve loved to have just stayed a few days and pretended to be mistress of the manor!

The rooms are clean, charming and well-sized. I stayed in the top floor suite of the main house and it was absolutely  lovely. The breakfast is to die for! They bring you a picnic basket with all of your selections to your room - I ate every bit of it. Truly delicious! The restaurant was booked full and we enjoyed our dinner.

Charming Giverny Retreat

My husband and I spent one night at the hotel and wish we could have stayed longer.  The property has such a surfeit of charm, you could practically overdose on it, though happily it’s not at all twee or pretentious.  The gardens and public spaces are lovely and our suite in the main building was gorgeous, clean and modern, yet still cozy and exceedingly comfortable. The bathroom was very well equipped with a walk-in shower and luxurious soaking tub.  Excellent towels, bathrobes and slippers, high quality toiletries and hair dryer.   It’s everything you could hope for in an intimate French country inn. There’s free parking and you can walk to Monet’s house and gardens and the pretty town.  The entire team was welcoming, congenial and helpful. We arrived very early and they graciously stored our bags and brought them to our room so they were there once we accessed the suite.  I’ll review the restaurant separately, but our advice is to dine there whether you stay at the inn or not.

Surplus of charm

The three course meal we chose was so pretentious, flavours that weren’t matched just a random collection of uninspiring nibbles.  The taster canape was lovely but the luke-warm water on the tomatoes spoiled them. The lobster was tough and decidedly chewy. The Chicken was delicious though. The oyster ‘eyeball’ left me needing a glass of water to remove the taste. The rice pudding taster was left on the side uncovered and was an inedible lump of goo. There were flies in the restaurant. At €100 per person I was not impressed.

Why is this Haute Cuisine?

Mid-June, I booked a room and dinner for my best friend's birthday on August 12th. Luckily I had booked early because both the restaurant and the hotel were sold out.

Wednesday, August 12th, we had a wonderful "impressionist" culinary journey in 7 paintings. The restaurant was sold out (as is probably the case for dinner since Chef Gallienne's victory at Top Chef'2020 French contest). 

We stayed in the annex, ground floor in a room called "Cotentine". It's a room for disabled guests but it did not bother us at all as we had a huge shower which was fantastic. We had a little terrace. 

The room was a good size, perfect for us. We like the colors and amenities. I liked very much the wooden blinds. There is a small mini bar complementary (water, apple juice). We had a welcome cake in our room. 

Some remarks about our room: a lamp on the desk would be great, especially if you need to work on your computer. There is no AC. It was OK because at night in Normandy, the temperature drops, but during the day it might be an inconvenience. Because the room is nearby the back of the kitchen in the morning we had experienced an early supplier delivery. Last but not least, we found the breakfast was overpriced 19 Euros per person. Due to the COVID, breakfast is served in the room. Therefore, we opted for not having breakfast. Furthermore, there was  a slight drizzle and we could not even use our lovely terrace. 

Besides these points, the Jardin des Plumes is an enchanting place, with a lovely park. I hope one day there will be a pool (especially during the hot summer). The staff is pleasant. It's a small hotel (8 rooms) therefore, the sooner you book, the better it is. When booking, do mention which room you want (main building or annex and also indicate if you want a separate bathroom as some of the rooms have the bathtub in the room). 

The main building is an authentic and beautiful Anglo-Norman house built in 1912 which abandoned for many years but has regained its splendor in the heart of the village of Giverny. It is now a charming hotel where old stones rub shoulders with glass, bathed in light, and a restaurant, starred in the Michelin guide since 2015.

We had dinner. We took the "Impressionist" menu (7 courses) which was a pure delight. 

The discreet, unobtrusive service was very professional. 

We felt the attention to detail, the sensitivity of the chef who knows how to translate his emotion perfectly into each dish which is, without a doubt, meticulously studied. None of the flavors encroached on the other or on the dish itself, everything was skilfully measured out. Each spice or seasoning, diffused in small touches, delicately enhances the dish.

We were in the main dining room (there are also 2 other rooms). There is a "chef's table" overlooking the kitchen.

What a wonderful culinary journey. We traveled for 3 hours in David Gallienne's gastronomic galaxy and can't wait to get back.

A wonderful stay and amazing dinner

We stopped at Le Jardin des Plumes for just one night. I would have been very happy if it had been more. The room was large, spotlessly clean, well appointed, with a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was well equipped and plenty of soaps, shampoos and soft, large towels. Bathrobes were provided. The staff were professional, personable and willing to help at all times.

VERY good experience. I shall be going back.

Excellent hotel - first class service too

We travel yearly throughout France every end of the year on a Long extended family trip to savour the taste of France. This trip we drove here from Deauville just to have a nice family lunch. Read several good reviews but was appalled to find out for ourselves that the main courses were poorly executed. We ordered 2 beef main and 2 monkfish. All were exceptionally salty. Understand that the resto prides themselves in utilising fine quality of locally sourced products. Yet, so much salt was added to the dish you fail to taste anything but salt. All in all, a disappointing meal that failed to highlight & let the natural flavours of the products shine through. It is good to note that the complimentary starters and desserts were executed well, however, it doesn’t make up for a terribly poor execution in mains. We feedback that the food was too salty but the comeback from the server was that the kitchen tasted it and felt it was normal. In my opinion, this “normal” is not acceptable.  My recommendation is to take your money elsewhere.

NOT WORTH THE 1 STAR AT ALL

Very caring staff! We had a minor emergency and the evening staff went way above the call of duty to help us!   40euros for breakfast (2 people) that consisted of crossiants, some breads, retail yougrt, hard boiled eggs and a beverage was over the top.  Also, the dinner was over priced and the wine stewart tried his best to sell us a 70 euro bottle of wine.  When we didn't take him up on it we never saw him again!

Unique, well appointed property.  Especially if you are visiting Monet's home and gardens!

Good location, an easy walk to the Monet Gardens. We found the service to be friendly, the rooms comfortable and well appointed. We were on the ground floor which did feel slightly closed in. 

Just be aware that some rooms only have a bath and some only a shower so if you have a preference make sure you request it.
