Overview
Belle-Isle sur Risle is a 19th-century château in Normandy, near the small town of Pont-Audemer.
The 4-star manor enjoys a picturesque setting on a river island -- it's a 30-minute walk (or a 5-minute drive) from the town of Pont-Audemer, on the River Risle, where you can explore the medieval streets and half-timbered houses of the old town, with canals crossing under many of the roads. Guests can hire kayaks and bikes from the hotel to explore the local area.
The property is 30 minutes' drive from the "picturesque Norman port" (The Daily Telegraph) of Honfleur, a town immortalised in the Impressionist paintings of Monet, Courbet, Sisley and Boudin. Cafés, restaurants and galleries line the streets here, together with "timber-framed houses, slate-grey facades, buttermilk-white beaches and Wedgwood blue skies" (Daily Mail).
The twin seaside towns of Deauville and Trouville-sur-Mer are 45 minutes' drive from the hotel. Deauville is known for its designer boutiques, public gardens, grand casino and 1920s boardwalk, while Trouville-sur-Mer is "both a veteran beach resort, graced with impressive mansions from the late 1800s, and a working fishing port" (Lonely Planet). It's also home to a 2-kilometre-long sandy beach.
There is a swimming pool and a fitness room (free for guests) and a small spa, a sauna and a hammam (extra charges apply).
The restaurant features in The Michelin Guide 2017 and serves French specialities, with a seasonal tasting menu.
Comfort Rooms are more spacious than Standard Rooms and have whirlpool baths. Wi-Fi is free.

The staff were all delightful. Very professional but also very helpful and accommodating. The food was exceptional with everything possible done to support my need for gluten free food. Nothing was a problem because everyone approached my need for gluten free as an opportunity to provide additionalsupport.

The excellent service and willingness of the staff. The food in the Restaurant was exquisite - we stayed three nights and ate in twice!
Other Comments
This was our second stay at Belle Isle and we were very pleased to find that the owners have maintained their high standards.
The only downside was that we were in the furthest room from the wifi router and could not obtain an internet signal during the three nights we stayed.

the food is excellent and the children's menu - is selected from the a la carte menu and is really good value, the service is attentive.
Other Comments
The hotel is quite dated in both decor & atmosphere.
We had to pay a supplement of 110 euros to have 2 children's beds in the room (not the 30 euros as stated on the Travelzoo site) and it isn't a particularly 'family friendly' for younger children.
