This place has huge potential, and has been extensively redecorated since our last visit pre-Covid. Our bedroom was excellent, quiet and comfortable. We arrived on a Saturday, and originally booked in the restaurant as well. In advance we received an acknowledgement from the restaurant looking forward to our visit, coupled with a second message saying the restaurant was closed! The latter was unfortunately right. Reception helpfully provided a list of local restaurants, so not too much harm done. Breakfast the next morning did exist, but rather disorganised, average quality and minimal staff in attendance. It's a great location, but check they've got their act together regarding the restaurant before confirming your booking at the hotel. There was a rumour it was up for sale, but may explain things.

Stayed here for a conference. The chateau was lovely. Had a nice family room in the main building on the third floor which was very clean with lots of original features. Shower bath was a bit difficult to get in and out of though. There is no aircon but the room was cool with the windows open. Food was good, both in the evening and at the conference but I wish there had been more fruit, salads and vegetables! The hotel grounds are lovely with a decent sized swimming pool. Friendly staff. Be warned there are a lot of stone steps to walk up to reception and likewise to get to the restaurant, terrace or pool in the neighbouring building.

“Failed to impress”

The room had not been properly prepared- there was one 1 towel, no hand towels, no bath soap and the safe was still locked from a previous occupant. The pool was dirty. There was no window and no extraction fan in the bathroom.

“Beautiful but lacking in certain areas”

The setting of this chateau is beautiful. Spacious rooms and really comfortable beds. Everything is well kept and clean. The staff are all very friendly and really make an effort particularly when you have limited French. The only thing holding this place back is the lack of food options. There i… lisää

The setting of this chateau is beautiful. Spacious rooms and really comfortable beds. Everything is well kept and clean. The staff are all very friendly and really make an effort particularly when you have limited French. The only thing holding this place back is the lack of food options. There is one menu and that is served all day long. Apart from a charcuterie board or a cheese board (lovely by the way) there may be 3 other options and they are more like snacks than meals. If you are looking for a substantial meal, you will need to go into town.
