Thouars-sur-Arize Castle Hotels

"This is a spacious house, able to accommodate our 3 generations of family, totalling 16, making use of the annex as well. The kitchen is well equipped so there was no problem catering for this number. The rooms are simply furnished but everything needed is provided. There are plenty of toys for children and of course the lovely pool is a great attraction.The area is very peaceful and rural. There are walks from the house, including through the woods to Aurignac in about 50 mins."

"My "2 bedroom" was on the ground floor, with unreserved parking right outside the living room and main bedroom windows. The curtains don't cover these windows entirely, meaning people getting in and out of their cars get quite the view. Despite multiple climate control panels in the apartment, there is no air conditioning and no fans. This made it unpleasant with the sun blasting through those windows and no way for the room to cool down overnight. The second "bedroom' didn't have a door, and you need to go through it to get to the bathroom. Despite all the warnings about a cleaning fee, there was mud and rocks on the main bed, which was just two very squeaky single bed shoved together. As this is the sort of place that charges you to rent sheets and you have to make the bed yourself, it should have been obvious to the person who placed the folded up sheets on the bed. There also wasn't a lot of cleaning supplies to help avoid that cleaning fee. I also had a few changes to my arrival plans, and I kept the property up to date with those changes, including following their instructions to let them know if I was going to arrive outside of reception hours. I did this and then got a message back that said I had to call, rather than letting them know electronically. So when my plans changed again (due to a cancelled train), I didn't up date them as I was going to arrive during those advertised reception hours. But the reception staff was shocked, as he had received the message..."

"We rented a three bedroom house for a whole week. On our arrival the weather was very hot and when we went to ask for a fan they looked at me as if I was asking for the something impossible. They said that they did not have any available as the ones they had where being used. And if so, only 1 fan per property. I had to insist that there is no way we could stand the heat and the next day we was given 1 medium and 1 small fan so you can imagine how 5 of us had to endure the heat especially at night !!! We are in 2023, the weather is changing and as much as it is important to have the rental accommodation with a heating system, you should also have a decent air cooling system in place too ! "

"A fantastic house with a brilliant pool in a beautiful part of France. Loads to do in the surrounding area. Guy was a wonderful host for whom nothing was too much trouble. Would recommend a holiday here without any hesitation."

"The house and grounds are well cared for with historical beauty and character, a place to remember with delight for a special family gathering of eighteen people of all ages. Swimming pool was excellent and tennis court perfect for family tennis. There were many interesting places to visit near by. Highly recommended."
