Reviews of Ferme d'Ecavéé 4 stars

I has been looking forward to staying here and having a meal in the restaurant. The place was reasonably easy to find and the grounds were well-maintained.

Sadly, the hotel should never have taken my reservation. It was heaving with a big wedding party and when we arrived there was just one poor lady running the wedding party, AND reception to all the guests AND the same lady was trying to find time to run the bar. We felt so sorry for her. Surely the big wedding booking wasn't a surprise to the owners, so why just one member of staff? Greed? Lack of workers in this remote rural area? Whatever the reason, they really should not have tried to fit in one more couple! So checking in and getting a drink after a long drive was not easy but having been allocated a room (I paid for a luxury room) I wished I’d stayed in reception… the poor receptionist/bar person/wedding host rushed upstairs ahead of us, saying that she needed to 'check that the room was clean' - not a good sign. We immediately realised why the lovely lady was worried - we'd been allocated a room that was uninhabitable due to the overpowering stink of raw sewage and she knew it! The hotel’s solution? Let's open a window... Dear God it was BAD. We could even 'taste' the smell. Yuk yuk yuk. My poor dear wife, where on earth had I taken her? Time was getting on but at this point we really should have cut our losses and left. But we'd been driving a long way. We were tired. Obviously we couldn't stay in the room and the hotel and dining room was very very busy with the wedding so we drove to the nearest town for dinner. Upon our return the party was still in full swing with the DJ at maximum volume. Great if you're part of the wedding, we wish the newlyweds a happy marriage. But not so great if you need to sleep and be up early. I called reception at 1am to ask when the drum and bass would stop. No reply. We got to sleep at around 2.30am. It's really not fair to squeeze in a couple of extra tourists when you're too busy to even check them in and your only room is a health hazard.

Tranquility, food, attentive service and a comfortable bed.

N/A

Comfortable rooms and superb restaurant.

Nothing all excellent

Great accommodation and really enjoyed the countryside feel to the hotel. The staff were very helpful and the rooms were much larger than the photos, very clean, and very spacious. Definitely one to visit if you're looking for a country stay. They were very accommodative for our early check-out and had prepared breakfast earlier than normal for us to enjoy before we left.

Nothing.

Nice place, clean and modern. The staff very kind and helpful.

I didn't like the breakfast, no big choice.

Beautiful location and beautiful place

Nothing

Scenic setting of cosy farmhouse with spacious terrace in the midst of green fields. Great location for hiking and biking in the rolling hills of Flanders.

I stayed here for a night last summer on my way to the UK, and virtually at the last minute (due to unsure travel plans) booked for one night again this year. Last year the only gripe I had was that the room TV wasn't tuned. This year, no problem; an array of possibilities on offer from free TV to Prime or Netflix, etc. I was very impressed by the hotel last year, and this year is no different. Excellent fine food (a mix of haute and moderne cuisine) in the restaurant, relatively economical for such a high standard of cooking and presentation. Again, a nice mix of hotel residents and local (probably regular) customers at dinner (the terrace was actually full when I arrived in the afternoon), very family friendly, with good service and, sitting outside in the garden terrace, a genuinely lovely ambience. And once again, an excellent room: very clean, very tidy, fabulous bathroom, very comfortable bed, fast WiFi, and nice touches like an Nespresso machine, free mineral water, and some yummy toffees. And, of course, a functioning Telly! This really is a great place to stay for a night, or even more. It is out of the way, in the middle of the countryside, and you need a car to get there. But it is worth it! Prices vary, of course, and it can be expensive under certain circumstances. But it is still fantastic value for money, and I will try to stay there again next August for a night on my way to my annual holiday in the UK. Even just the Chateaubriande in the restaurant makes Ferme d'Ecavéé well worth a visit!!!

NOTHING!!!

The hotel and breakfast are superb. Have returned to this hotel.

Limited opening of the restaurant

Beautiful place, with lovely surrounding countryside. Great room with balcony. Delicious food for both dinner & breakfast, lovely service from Hubert.

hard to get shower temp right

Everything

It is our second stay here, and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time: - rooms are modern - bed is comfortable - restaurant with delicious food - quiet surroundings

Very nice boutique hotel with high quality and style, nice atmosphere, great counryside location, fantastic staff and service.

Meals are very much animal product driven, no vegan options available for dinner, breakfast. It's a very good location to bike and have some outdoor activities, it would be great to have the possibility to rent a bike in a hotel or use a swimming pool/jacuzzi (swimming pool is available in the venue but not for use in April).

Super breakfast

Accueil.

Excellent food and beautiful location

Very minor, but we found it a bit odd to have a partly transparent bathroom door

The bed is one of the most comfortable i have ever slept in. Beautiful room, super bedlinen, spotless, beautifully furnished. Amazing surroundings, excellent food. If it was in the uk it would be a regular place to visit. Loved it. Seems in the middle of nowhere but actually only 10mins to main autoroute for Lille.

It was busy when we arrived as there was a party taking place and there was no one at reception. Someone soon came though. The signage from the road could make the entrance to the hotel clearer.
