Hotel i Les Hautes Vrinières, La Ferte-Mace

"The place is quite nice and located relatively isolated at the top of a hill, there is a 3 minute drive to town and some local small shopping and dining and only around 6 minutes to a large store. The staff are very kind but most don't speak enough English for it to be usable and they quickly resort to using google translate, which is a solid service but of course isn't super. The "Spa" is a bit of a glorified pool which wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't for the fact that it was filled with children jumping in and splashing everyone and in general being very bothering to the other guests. This would be against the clearly printed Spa rules but no staff ever came down and I doubt they would have enforced it even if they did. The kitchen in the apartment was nice and usable enough, my other gripe(and it's a larger one) was that the kitchen didn't have a usable knife, there was a large bread knife and a small incredibly dull single bladed vegetable knife which is by far the worst knife i have tried to use in my life before we gave up and went out to buy a new knife we could use. The stay was very nice and for people who hadn't chosen it specifically for the spa I would recommend it but I would probably no go again."
