Overall a good place to stay, and will return if we are in the area.

Beautiful chateau set in very well kept grounds. Staff were very attentive, friendly and helpful. Breakfast on the whole was good, could be improved by adding some hot breakfast options along with the boiled eggs, also some items of food were running low and should be replenished without guests having to ask for this.

Weird experience given the Halloween festival. Would not return. Cannot recommend.

The outside of the hotel looks lovely. Little amuse bouches at dinner were delicious.

Definitely worth revisiting

This is a beautiful chateau, well maintained with a stunning floral exterior. The staff were all excellent, knowledgeable and very helpful, prepared to use some english if we were struggling with the french. My dietary requirements were taken seriously and the menu was adjusted to give me complete confidence in my evening meal. The restaurant food and service were excellent! Our bedroom had everything we needed and the material lined and padded interior walls were stunning

Fantastic!!

Extraordinary castle, with the flowered covered front which is almost unbelievably beautiful. The rooms were well-appointed and the beds very comfortable. The staff was very friendly, and we loved the pool on a very hot afternoon.

wonderful overnight stay with a delicious dinner served as a bonus.

Very scenic hotel, inside an old castle. It has all of the luxury of a modern hotel while maintaining the castle looks (like a spiraling staircase inside a tower - for the adventurous, there is a lift too obviously). The restaurant at the hotel serves excellent food, based on local dishes but with a twist that makes them elegant and very tasteful. Really recommended

The hospitality was exceptional and the staff were very accommodating with my lack of French. They made me feel welcome. On top of that, the hotel is beautiful, my room had an amazing view, and the most comfortable bed I ever slept on!

An excellent chateau whether for an overnight stay or for that extra special occasion.

Beautiful chateau in woodland grounds, Very friendly staff. Large warm & comfortable room with king size bed (we stayed in November). Excellent restaurant and good breakfast. The dinner menu's offered two set prices (€43 & €90) and reasonably priced wine from under €30. Upon request, added an indoor firework to my wife's desert on her birthday. Dog friendly (allowed in restaurant / breakfast room).

We have not stayed at a hilltop castle with turrets and spires before In the light of a full moon!

The cold buffet was beautifully displayed in state of the art chillers. Fresh bread and patisseries, meats and cheese. Coffee of all types.
