“Loved it!”

i really enjoyed my stay in this beautiful old chateau. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the room was quiet and nicely decorated, and the grounds were lovely to walk around. As it is such an old building and my room was at the top of a spiral staircase it would not be gret for older visitors or those with push chairs etc, but I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.

“Eat elsewhere”

We very much enjoyed the ambience but the hotel has no public rooms so you have a limited choice of what to do. I thought food and drink too expensive and the quality of the dinner we had there was poor. We had an overnight stay when the weather was un-seasonally bad, but where do you go after dinner? If we stayed there again, I'd just order a bottle of wine and sit at a table by the window in the dining room!

“A truly French experience”

We arrived at 12:30 on Monday. Reception was empty, apart from a sign directing us to the restaurant. They told us that he would be back at 14:00. At 14:30 we checked in! The room was a dump. A television half the size of a domestic microwave; no tea or coffee making facilities; half the ceiling light bulbs missing; two camp beds to sleep on. The piece de resistance were the en suite facilities, which were in separate rooms, and which could only be accessed across a public corridor. We had to run the gauntlet of other guests passing in order to take a bath or go to the toilet. The walls were waver thin and the room badly decorated. Watching television quietly at 10 p.m., we were treated to a loud banging from the folks next door. There were beams, but one was so low that my son hit his head on it. Breakfast had to be ordered by filling out a card the previous night, and was overpriced at 12 Euros. When leaving, were asked if we enjoyed our stay, I politely said no, and was about to explain why. The look of obvious ennui in the receptionist told me not to bother. The French twist came on the breakfast menu, where Champagne and Oysters were an option. The service may be appalling, the room was barely habitable and the whole operation was run for the convenience of the people working there. But look! You can have Champagne and Oysters for breakfast! This place may look pretty, but from the bottom of my heart I urge you to avoid it like the plague! It ruined our holiday.
