Good breakfast, friendly and helpful owners, easy parking in the garden. The smallish modern room was clean and had a tiny own outside area with chairs. Some traffic noise during the night, but nothing very bad.

Lynda was very friendly and helpful. The location is great and we loved the garden for the dogs to play in. The charcuterie in the evening nd breakfast was delicious. The homemade preserves and all the breads, cheeses and hams were excellent. The big bath in room Champagne was a real bonus.

Used the chateau for a one night stopover and was impressed with the welcome. What a great start! The owners of the chateau have retained mainly of its original features and the results are a very pleasent, if somewhat quirky in places. Great facilities, excellent breakfast and a great host in Lynda.
