Amazing Stay with Lovely Hosts
Such an amazing experience in a historic chateau! The grounds are well maintained and there is even an outside pool and trampoline for the kids. This centuries old chateau is beyond beautiful, rooms are large and the family is kind and accommodating. Loved having an evening beverage in the lounge area and the nighttime music playing throughout the lower level added to the absolute beauty and magic. We will definitely be back, thank you so much for creating such a welcome and safe experience for us!

Be Aware there is a Dining room not Restaurant
The Chateau itself is very beautiful and the owner welcoming enough but we were not expecting a Chateau Demeure hotel where the owners actually live there. Personally we felt as if we were intruding into their home and their time. Initially we were told we booked a room in the annexe but it did not suit us because the beds were too close to he wall and we had no real space to manoever so we changed the room with a 80 euro surcharge to the £172 we had already paid to stay in the Chateau He gave us a room where the beds were in an alcove so we changed yet again and he told us he would not charge us the 80 euros extra because of the inconvenience We thought there was a restaurant but in fact it was a dining room with table d hote. That is to say you had what the owner cooked for you. Finding out at the table what was on offer. Of course they would have made something else if that was not acceptable but that is not that same as having a menu. We stayed at various Chateau hotels for 9 days during our trip and this one was by far the most expensive for the room but certainly no better than the others. As for the meal, it was tasty and the dining room is beautiful but I would not have booked here if I had known the concept. I do not like people choosing what I should eat. It is ok at a friends home but then we don't pay for that BUT in its defence IF you like the idea of living in a stately home as paying guests then this place is for you. It wasn't for us

Nous vous remercions madame, pour votre commentaire et nous sommes ravis que vous ayez aimé les lieux. Nous sommes un château privé homologué hôtel quatre étoiles. Nous sommes table d hôtes et cela est stipulé partout dans notre communication. Les Briottieres restent une propriété de famille ou nous accueillons des hôtes depuis plus de trente ans. C est un concept qui est plébiscité par nos hôtes qui sont clients d hôtels du monde entier et qui désirent autre chose. Plus familial,plus humain, plus chaleureux, moins formel. Nous vous ouvrons nos portes et notre table afin de vous faire connaître la vie a l intérieur de nos maisons qui ne sont pas des musées. Vous faire découvrir la culture et la cuisine française qui n est pas standardisé. Vous recevoir en amis, comme vous l avez souligné ! Nous regrettons n avoir pas réussi à vous convaincre. Veuillez croire Madame, a l assurance de notre amical souvenir.

Upon arrival, we were taken to the dining hall of the beautiful main building for dinner (which was a set meal). The food was fine, but definitely not worth the €50/person they charged us for it. After dinner, we were escorted to our room. We had booked the cabin lodge as it was for only a one night stay and had been described as good for a family of 4. The description also included air conditioner and television, basic appliances, etc. Firstly, the place hadn’t been cleaned in ages. There were cobwebs everywhere! I sneezed all night long because the sheets were dusty. Secondly, considering they were expecting a family of four, the sofa bed had not even been made. After our arrival in the room (past 10pm, they owner proceeded to take out the sofa bed. Then he asked me if the kids needed pillows (??). There weren’t enough towels in the room for four people. There were bugs coming out of every crevice. All the windows didn’t have curtains, and the ones that did, weren’t all big enough to cover the windows. Because we were in the woods, we couldn’t open the windows as we were dealing with enough bugs as it is. The advertised air conditioner was nowhere to be seen. We were looking forward to this stay, the property looked enchanting. It was one of the more expensive nights we had booked throughout our entire 3 week holiday around France, and was by far the worse experience we’ve had so far.

We are very surprise by your review ; our cabin lodge is well known to be to luxe and clean ... Expedia said air conditionned and tv we have corrected this point with them .Do you need really a TV into the woods in such a charming surroundings ? You can make the dark into our cabin lodge you get shuters on every window . We did get 4 towels into your cabin lodge and 2 ropes extra ; We are very sorry if you haven't been pleased at the chateau ... Our cabin lodge is great succes for Families . We recommend it for sure even with no air conditionned really it's not neccessary this house is very well proteted agains't the heat under the wood .

Gorgeous place, missing a few small touches
Normally at $200/night I expect heat in the rooms, a waste basket at least in the bathroom and functioning wifi, all of which were missing at Château des Briottières. However, the house and its setting are so beautiful and wonderfully furnished, that I forgave the lapses. I'd go again.

A magical stop over in a beautiful house.
A wonder. We stayed in the cabin the woods - we had our little children with us. We are always worried that having small children with us would restrict us, but the Count made them most welcome and cooked delicious crepes for the whilst we enjoyed an aperitif. As a magical stop over on the ay to the South we could not recommend it enough.

Lovely charming and very hospitable family hotel. Much closer to stay with a family than a hotel in terms of overall experience. The room was fantastic. Immensely relaxing. I would recommend and would stay again.

How often do you get to stay in a chateau?
The Chateau de Briottieres is located on a majestic estate, and represents the efforts of its owners to maintain a magnificent family home. Our experience at this location was positive in almost all ways. We were free to sit in the amazing salons, use the pool, exercise on the grounds and stroll in the garden. Our room was very small, but the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom facilities clean and adequate. We also had a stunning view of the front lawn, chapel, and pond. There was easy parking. There was no elevator, which made handling our oversized luggage a little difficult. We decided to have dinner at the chateau--a little pricey at 55 Euros each--but an excellent culinary experience. The food was delicious and elegantly served. The candlelight made for a magical evening. We did have a group of very ill-behaved adolescents--the fault of their parents, not the management's. Overall, we had a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

Beautiful chateau
We spent two nights at Chateau des Briottieres and it is a beautiful place. The owner is a very charmning man whose family have owned it for six generations - so it has a lot of history. It is extremely elegant but the owners have made it very comfortable and homely as well. I would thoroughly recommend this private hotel. The standard of the rooms was well above some of the commercial chateaux. The dining room is very elegant and although the menu is set, the home cooked style dishes are very good indeed and come as a surprise.

Fantastic Everything!
This is an excellent place to stay. The owner runs the chateau himself and has been in his family for over 200 years. It is like staying in a museum with very old artwork and sculptures. The grounds are very well maintained. There is a magnificent pool and chapel on the grounds as well. I could not recommend a better place to stay in France.

History cannot be an excuse
The Chateau is in a poor state and, with regret, does not meet the needs of the modern traveller. Extremely low lighting cannot conceal the paucity of the culinary offer, the lack of choice or, importantly, the inadequacy of basic standards in the rooms. No mirror in the bedroom, the lavatory is in the wardrobe - or the wardrobe is in the lavatory - but either way, it is so small as to involve the scraping of knees on the door and the knees are no more than 3 ft from the bed, albeit through a closed door; no hairdrier, lamps which did not work, no room to move in the tiniest of shower 'room', no ability for 2 people to move around the bed at the same time. So very many wonderful places to stay in the Loire - unfortunately, despite its wonderful history and location, this isn't one of them.

Wonderful experience
What a great place. We stayed at the Chateau for 2 nights, exploring only the very nearby area as well as relaxing on the beautiful grounds. And the grounds were just amazing, so picturesque and perfect to compliment the amazing Chateau. Our host was a true gentleman and so warm and welcoming in sharing his family home. We had dinner and breakfast there as well and it was such a happy choice. Just amazing and delicious. After spending some time in Paris this was such a wonderful compliment to our trip.

Hotel di charme
Il castello (villa) è bellissimo , enorme il parco, i saloni sono notevoli. La camera era piccola ,non molto pulita. All' arrivo non ci è stato fornito nessun aiuto per i bagagli e non ci è stato permesso nemmeno di avvicinarci con l'auto alla palazzina dove eravamo alloggiati. La cena al castello è stata servita in una bella sala con ottimo servizio, ma con menù fisso e non valeva il prezzo. Sicuramente un hotel di charme , lo consiglierei con riserva.

Ophold i privatejet slot
Slotsherren tager selv imod ved ankomsten, og man bliver indlogeret i smukt udstyrede værelser i slotsbygningen, der også rummer smagfuldt indrettede saloner og en skøn spisesal. Omgivelserne er yndige med orangeri, park i engelsk stil, swimmingpool og tennisbane. Helt klart værd at køre efter, selv om det ligger meget isoleret. Hvis man vil spise middag i spisesalen, skal der bestilles 24 timer i forvejen. Badeværelserne er veludstyrede, men det varer adskillige minutter inden der kommer varmt vand i hanerne.
