Well this was the fifth of 5 chateaus we stayed on a mini break and with the others all bring A+ this had a lot to live up to.

The approach from the south was less than inspiring, you end up weaving through an industrial park and thoughts start such as "oh dear" ...

However after a few turns and beds you find the Chateau in it's own estate and very grand. Parking is easy and walking through the main door there is a modern design hall area and a reception, though not as you know it, you have to track the staff down, but that is OK.

Up some large marble stairs and a smaller set we entered our second floor room. Very different from the others we had stayed in, modern design, a corner bath in the same room as the bed ... and I have to say really good, a change from all the classical design and much needed !

We made use of the pool, which is nicely enclosed and warm, could have happily spent longer there and then after a beer we ate our dinner. The restaurant was very French (yes I know ... what did we expect !) and super with it, good food, service was great and it just had a super atmosphere.

It would not be for everyone, if you like the classical chateau this may not be for you, but if you like a little difference every now and again ... give it ago. Even better take your horse if you have one as they seemed to be set up as a horse hotel too ... i.e take your horse on holiday ...

Recommended !

A one night stay which was exceptionally comfortable and agreeable. Charming staff. Good quality restaurant. Striking but attractive decor.

Nothing specifically "Wrong" with this place - we had two nights comfortable accomodation, but it is a bit souless.

The decor is ultra modern, in a 200 year old setting and it doesnt really work for me. The room we had was quite small despite having booked a superior room, it really wasnt, and I didnt like having a bathroom attached to the room with no door (although there was a door to the loo).

We didnt have breakfast - but did have an evening meal which was fine, reasonable quality and quick service.

If you are travelling with horses, this is the place for you though, as they have large stables attached to the property and i could imagine that if you are the horsey type you will love the place.

Only stayed two nights and used it just as a base, and on that basis it was rather expensive and there better bargains to be had elsewhere, or better quality for a similar price.

We stayed in this hotel for 3 days. The room was oke. The pool was very nice and so was the staff. The first day we had good weather and we had a great time, swimming and making a trip on the free mountainbike. But the day afther whe had rain and we found out there wasn't a lot to do around.

good hotel for good weather. :D
