Remember the days when you could get some Euros for your Pound? Me neither. Anyway, there WAS a…read moretime & I used to be a regular booze-cruiser on the Dover-Calais route. Trouble was that once you'd bought your car-rear-axle-troubling stash of whatever, the food offerings at Cite D'Europe and Calais were pants (or pantalons ?!). Anyway, step forward the truly fantastic Chateau De Cocove, one of the very best restaurants I have had the pleasure to dine at. An Eighteenth Century estate with a menu, wine list and atmosphere to knock your socks off. I had the best Chateaubriand steak ever there. Some truly classy wines & afternoons of sheer, unadulterated pleasure. It's near to the A26 & I cannot speak more highly of it. It has a hotel too, I believe. Doubt if I could afford that too...!

Tables dressées à la française, nappes blanches, tableaux classiques et pierres aux murs viennent donner le ton chaleureux et terroir du lieu. Les convives profitent de la lumière qui transperce les baies vitrées, et restent béats devant la vue imprenable sur le parc du Château. Dans les assiettes, des produits issus du potager des jardins, des viandes et poissons savoureux, un régal pour les sens. Le Menu Gourmand commence son spectacle culinaire avec "la Bisque de Homard au Safran", se poursuit sur le classique "Tournedos façon Rossini" et peut se conclure avec le "Louis XV au chocolat". La royauté au bout de la fourchette.

Since we were there for work, I won't touch on the golfing. The beer is local, but a bit on the expensive side...get out and check one of the local pubs for more color. The restaurant serves a variety of food...we had a set menu every night, but the lamb with couscous and the salmon were always amazing. Also some local food line vegetarian mousse and escargot in a cheese tart. Breakfast was included with the room rate and was always Brad, cheese, meat (sausage and bacon) heavy...plus lots of fruit (fresh and as a chopped salad)... Lovely place, just lovely.

Great restaurant downstairs, perfect espresso just across the way and a supermarket next door. Plus this is one of the nicest rooms (with the BEST tub) I have ever stayed in! Immaculately clean with all the ammenities I would want. I highly recommend and would absolutely stay here again!

This restaurant, located in a lovely country hotel, has really let itself down. The food and the…read moreambiance could have easily earned a 5 star review but the service didn't match it. Not only was the service slow and unenthusiastic but I was served a steak (which was amazing, to be fair) but I had asked for the fire grilled lamb, which was the speciality. I was given no explanation and I didn't bother sending it back because it took so long in the first place. Too bad, really.
