Château Les Merles

“We will stay again!”

We have stayed at Chateau les Merles six times now and will be returning in December. The rooms are extremely comfortable, the food and local wine is excellent and the staff are friendly and welcoming. It’s our perfect stop over between Caen ferry port and the Pyrenees.

“Great family stay in a villa”

Great place to stay. We had a villa which I recommend. The shared pool at the end of the garden is fantastic. Lovely restaurant and bar area, altho we only had the breakfast once. Very well equipped accommodation - great for self catering. Golf, tennis and pétanque all available. Lots to explore in… lisää

An amazing hotel in the French countryside! Stunning! The staff were exceptional. Despite arriving early to drop our bags off rather than leave them in the car, the staff were friendly and hospitable. We were informed that we could check in earlier so we came back an hour later to find that our luggage had been taken to our room and we were encouraged to have a complimentary glass of champagne and canapes in the grounds. There is no notion of feeling rushed here which is perfect. The grounds are well kept with tennis courts (racquets and balls available) if required, a driving range and a nine hole golf course. The suite we had was fantastic with views over the grounds and swimming pool. We dined at the restaurant in the evening and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. In addition, there are tasting menus. The Chateau Les Merles white wine was great and slightly regretting not buying a couple of bottles to take home. Definitely on our list to return to for a short break as one night wasn't enough! Thank you to the team at Chateau Les Merles for making the last night of our holiday perfect.

“Worth keeping as 'a secret'”

My wife and I stayed at the Chateau Les Merles for (sadly) just one night in June. However, I have now booked to go back for 3 nights in September as we enjoyed our stay so much. I will admit I was wondering whether or not to give a review as we thought the hotel was so special that we wanted to keep it 'a secret'. But that seems unfair on the hotel and staff who were exceptional. The property, which is delightfully secluded, is charming and our double room on the first floor overlooking the swimming pool and the valley beyond was delightful. A simple blend of gloss back flooring and white walls, the room was simply and tastefully decorated with a superb large bed. The bathroom was spacious and had a large bath, shower and dual sinks. Again tastefully decorated. The staff were superb from the start; the greeting glass of champagne was delightful and very welcoming. We had lunch there (a superb 25 euros prix fixe) and then an a la carte dinner which was a delight eating under the umbrellas in the courtyard. And good value again. Chatting to the English couple on the next table we discovered they were planning on having their Wedding there next year they were so impressed; we could see why. The combination of the buildings, quality of food and of service and the easy vibe are enticing. It is a genuinely special place and deserving of being kept 'a secret'. Which is why we are going back; not as part of a trip but as the trip. Flying in and out of Bordeaux for a long weekend in September when we hope the pools will still be warm!
