We stayed at this hotel while on a property hunt. The website looked good and the location was ideal so we booked. After a long drive we were amazed to be told that the restaurant was closed that evening - and so was the bar as the only member of staff on duty in the whole hotel had not been left the keys! Needless to say the website mentioned none of this.

After reading poor reviews of the Orangerie, we had booked a room in the Chateau, which was OK. The hotel, however, reports to be 4 star, but I would expect to be able to get a meal or at least a glass of wine in a four star hotel.

Did they charge less for not being properly open? What do you think?

We needed a place to stay in this area, and the web site looked promising. We had a good (not great) dinner, and a room that was reasonably comfortable but very oddly decorated (is/was shown on their web site -- blue, with stones and driftwood as accents???). The exterior is lovely, but it just wasn't a place we could warm up to. We are unlikely to return, as there are many better choices in the general area.

I arrived and was told that they did not have my reservation, however they sorted that out as they had rooms, luckily. The cost was exactly what my travel agent had been quoted so I suspect they had made a mistake at the hotel. I had a chateaux room, the ones in the orangerie ( an annex 100m away ) are simple basic rooms with some poor views. Best to stay in the chateuax. The bedrooms are plain but comfortable, except for the suites( more spiffy) which I was not allowed to see. The dining room and lounge are very nicely and traditionally decorated. The dinner , as part of package, was good but the a la carte is apprently much better. The restuarant on site is renowned in the local area and the clients I went to see were angling to get an invite for dinner , they hold it in that high regard. Breakfast simple but good. Agree that the staff are all very pleasant and helpful. The receptionist was very helpful and able to find out about the local bus that leaves from the street outside and into town every half hour for €1.25 . They will have broadband by the end of June. The swimming pool was cloudy but I suspect in summer when it is used most, it will be cleaned up. Nothing in the immediate area of any note, best to catch a cab into town or get the bus, which was just as easy.

We came one night to this castle-hotel for my daughter's birthday.
It was a pleasant surprise. A very pretty, clean hotel, gorgeously decorated and a very kind staff. Good breakfast, huge parking, swiming pool, garden. We loved staying here.
