The perfect relaxing stopover

Love this place, can't get enough of it. Came with my daughter on way to the Alps. Perfect location. Every time I stay here I get wonderful treatment from all the staff. The spa area is beautiful and so relaxing after a long journey. Dinner amazing as usual and to top it all we were yet again upgraded !! Roll on next trip.

So Nice I Stayed Another Night

As the author of the Hotel Marketing Bible, I have stayed in thousands of hotels. This one will make my list of favorites. It has lovely grounds, attentive staff, well-appointed rooms, and magnificent food. It was so nice I stayed an extra day, and I will no doubt return :)

Always a delight

This wonderful chateau hotel is a very favourite of ours. We were greeted with an upgrade before even asking! Hospitality was perfect. The evening food was delightful and the breakfast as usual was fantastic with champagne if you wished. Looking forward to next visit in a few days.

French charm :)

Lovely, cosy , welcoming, homely feel. Friendly helpful staff. Great for pet friendly stays. we only stayed overnight though en route so breakfast times not suitable for early departure . The restaurant has a lovely ambience, excellent service, also very good at accommodating allergen free requirements, but although beautiful presentation of food the price/expectation didn't match. Certainly no wow factor or something I couldn't do myself. Bed large and very comfortable but one pillow insufficient and no extra blanket for cold weather. Wore my fleece to bed.

The stay was pleasant but we were unlucky as room 10 is noisy as it was above the door to the swimming pool which shut with a large thud - so an afternoon nap was not possible. The rest of the stay was excellent with dinner being a highlight with the fabulous Clement who is the absolute the best in the world for cooking a Crêpes Suzette in front of the table - very very special and we’ve had many around the world!!!! Thanks Clement for an unforgettable experience!!! Outdoor hot tubs were a bit tired and not quite hot enough with headrests missing, but the room was great with everything you needed. All in all a good stay and a nice evening spent to break the journey back to Blighty!

Mixed feelings. Lovely chateau, in quiet location. Lovely pool. Poor wine choice of good wine by the glass. Overall it lacked finesse. Also, it was overshadowed by the owners dog, a great dame attacking ours unprovoked and unexpectedly. The owner didn’t even later check if our dog was fine. Apparently his dog doesn’t like small dogs! Would have been good to know this sooner as Priya was wondering around the reception and dining area.

Food at the restaurant was excellent, extremely high quality. All the staff were very helpful and welcoming. Our room was lovely, but we did have a problem with no hot water on our first morning that took about an hour to get sorted. Went to shower in the late afternoon and the same issue again. Checked with the front desk and an engineer couldn't get to sort it until after 6pm, as we were eating at 7pm we had to have cold showers. We were planning on using the fitness room both days but it's a really small room and the equipment could do with servicing, so we only used it on one day. Bit of a disappointment that I'm sure can be sorted for the future.

Nous avons été facturé 120 euros pour un no show au restaurant alors que nous avions commandé en chambre.(nous avons bien réservé au restaurant ) Sauna en panne et tout les jours on nous dit qu’il est réparé alors qu’il ne l’était pas. Réponse finale de l’hôtel : nous n’avons pas facturé votre accès au SPA de 25 euros par jour car Sauna en panne. Ceci n’a jamais été dit ni stipulé par l’hôtel qui dit avoir des règles très précises et restrictives. Notre ressenti est que la facturation du no show était une action punitive du Directeur de l’hôtel qui a bien mentionné son mécontentement du fait de notre partage d’avis sur les réseaux sociaux. Nous attendions plus de réactivité et de prise de position de Hôtels.com Au final on a payé mais nous avons le sentiment d’être arnaquer
