The place is stunning ,the room big and modern with a large bathroom and a very comfortable bed
We booked dinner at the restaurant and it was amazing
Absolutely a beautiful place all around
This chateau is stunning and very beautiful. The staff are very friendly and approachable. The night manager when we arrived Sunday night was especially friendly and helpful. Well done for running an awesome hotel. Thankyou
What a fantastic find! My husband, 14 year old and I were thrilled to fine this place. It’s modern inside a historic monastery. Just beautiful. The pictures don’t do it justice. If you can’t do stairs requests a ground floor room. We definitely would come back. The grounds & views are amazing.
We have been travelling around France, Spain and Italy for 12 weeks and this stay was the absolute highlight of all the hotels we have stayed in, this place is stunning.
The weather was dreadful but it did not matter. The grounds are exceptional with stunning views at every step.
We had breakfast and whilst not a huge cooked option the rest was quality produce and more than enough for breakfast.
We are in the restaurant and went for the tree courses which was exceptional value for money, again quality produce both well cooked and well presented. Two nights was not enough, we loved it.
We also travelled with a dog who was welcome in all parts of the Chateau.
We had a wonderful night in this hotel. The restaurant was fantastic, service top notch. Highly recommended! Thank you for the free bottle wine! It’s very much appreciated!

Très beau cadre dans un château joliment restauré malgré des tons un peu ternes dans le restaurant
Au niveau du confort il est dommage d’arriver en fin de journée dans une chambre glaciale en novembre alors que le temps est froid et pluvieux
Le restaurant était également trop froid
J’aurais préféré plus d’explications sur les menus : j’ai choisi les petits farcis et j’ai vu arriver une petite courge farcie de légumes donc un plat végétarien
Séjour agréable au calme en pleine nature.
Accueil chaleureux, aucune remarque.
Au restaurant bonne cuisine avec présentation adaptée au plat.
Seul remarque le vin a été servi a une température trop élevé
Nous avons passé un joli séjour. Le domaine est magnifique. Un havre de verdure. Tout y fait pour accueillir des groupes ou mariage.
Cependant il manque de quoi s'asseoir pour encore plus prendre son temps et contempler. Les chambres ne sont malheureusement pas toutes dans le château. Un petit déjeuner un peu décevant.
Site remarquable dans un décor qui l'est tout autant.
Chambre neuve parfaitement décorée, tv grand écran, très bien, literie très confortable, propreté irréprochable.
Un bémol, le petit déjeuner .....café mauvais (voir meme très mauvais), à 9h40 alors que le service s'arrete à 10h,il n'y avait plus de confiture, plus de beurre , plus d'oranges pressées, plus de charcuterie, pas de fruits, ni en salade ni meme à l'unité, et lorsque j'en ai demandé on m'a répondu : "il n'y en a plus" .....A 18 euros
le petit déjeuner, etre cantonné à manger juste un mini-croissant (excellent au demeurant) c'est dommage et du coup ça fait cher le croissant....
Ils se démarquent par un service très chaleureux et très professionnel , cela fait un moment que je n’avais pas vu autant de qualités dans un prix si raisonnable .
Très beau domaine, des petits problèmes à l'arrivée mais vite résolus.
La chambre était suffisamment grande, le lit très confortable, juste des mauvaises odeurs dûs à la climatisation.
Le restaurant est un peu cher mais très bon. Le petit déjeuner parfait.
Le lieu est superbe et bien rénové. Les chambres standard sont très petites dignes d'un hôtel de bas de gamme. Le personnel semble soit dépassé (réception), soit ne pas vraiment prêter attention au fait qu'il y a des clients. Le petit-déjeuner dans la salle de restaurant avec une musique à tue-tête venant de la cuisine n'est pas exactement la définition d'un 4 étoiles...
Super hôtel.
Rénovation de très bel qualité avec de beau matériaux. Sans dénaturer le château.
Seul petit bémol, notre chambre était un peu petite.

Liked: Room comfort
Disliked: Cleanliness
Bon séjour dans l'ensemble. Beaucoup de poussière dans la chambre.
Service rapide au restaurant, assiettes plus que légères, les portions laissent à désirer, le personnel manque de professionnalisme et de tenue vestimentaire pour un hotel qui désire être un 4 étoiles
