Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A wonderful building in its own grounds, only five minutes drive from the centre of Cognac. The staff were friendly and helpful,the receptionist speaking good english.The superior room was well worth the small extra charge-large and airy with wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. Breakfast was good and dinner, served on the terrace was excellent.[We can highly recommend the pidgeon pie and the steak].
Our only criticism was the lack of air conditioning, but this is possibly reflected in the very reasonable room rates.
For anyone wishing to visit this beautiful area of France, we couldn't think of a better place to stay.

Stayed here Oct 1-3, 2007. It is a beautiful old 19th century chateau (read: big house that looks a lot like a victorian B&B in the U.S. would). The grounds are gorgeous, with about 8 or so grape vines in the front yard! The porch is nice to sit on, but be aware that it is also the place where all the smokers are, too. Some of the rooms were marked "no smoking." For the money, this place was great value (in comparison to some other places we stayed), and its location was good for sightseeing.

The breakfast was quite nice, and the room to eat it in was nice, too. Tall ceilings. The bar room is gorgeous. There is no general computer access (although their website states wireless access). Like so many places, the French bread was great. The other food was not particularly outstanding, but was fresh and good.

Like so many European hotels, there are no screens on the windows, so we had the problem of bugs coming in. There is also no air conditioning, and it was quite warm and somewhat humid during our stay. The room we were in was small, but did have a table and 2 chairs in it. No coffee pot, though.

The staff is very nice, and speak excellent English. The dog, Gyver, was a hoot. He is deaf, and seems to own the place. Got several pictures of him!

You have to haul your own bags at this 2-star hotel. Despite their website stating there is a large, flat-screen TV, there wasn't one in our room or that of some friends who were with us. There was a mini refrig bar (never used it).

All in all, I would definitely return to this place if I were going to be sightseeing in the Cognac region or around Angouleme.

Thought previous reviews of the hotel to be very fair. Enjoyed eating in the restaurant on our first night thought the food was well balanced, also a lot of local people eating there as well which is usually a good sign.

We stayed one night here on a visit to Cognac. The rooms are small and simple but reflect the low price charged. Dinner, which we ate on the Terasse overlooking the rolling hills complete with vineyards, was excellent. The wine list was terrific value, and we polished off the meal in the attractive bar sampling their wide range of Cognacs and Pineau de Charente. The management and staff were friendly and welcoming. Well worth a visit and good value too. We'll be back!

Booked this hotel in March this year for a nights stay first week in May, made sure to book a table in the restaurant that evening. On our arrival at 8pm were told the restaurant was closed on Monday nights, so no food, and we decided to leave. If this was the case they had over a month to inform me of this but chose not to!! To add more insult I was charged a fee for not staying, they mentioned that they could not resell the room, but as it seemed we would have been the only people there I think this a little strong, the place was deserted when we arrived and had to ring bells to get any attention.

Our stay in the Domaine de Breuil was particularly disappointing, as we have usually found Relais de Silence Hotels to be generally of a very good standard. The Domaine de Breuil lets the Relais de Silence brand down very badly.
I am not sure what the owner of this hotel wants to achieve. If it is dismal mediocrity then he has without doubt succeeded. We were greeted on arrival at 5pm by a deserted reception desk. This we found to be the usual situation, and understandable when one recognises that the primary staff activity was sitting on the terrace at the rear of the hotel, smoking and having a chat.
It was 28 degrees on arrival on June 2nd and after a 600 kilometre drive, I was looking forward to a swim in the pool and an hour of relaxation. In fact we had booked the hotel as it was advertised as a 3 star Relais de Silence, and importantly for us, with a swimming pool. Once the ‘manager’ had finished his cigarette and joined us at reception, he casually explained that the pool was closed and therefore not available.
We had to accept that and decided instead to walk around the ‘gardens’. If there were awards for championship weeds then this hotel would have a cupboard full. This once handsome country house appears to have fallen on very hard times. Barring an immaculate area of grape vines to the front of the hotel, inevitably one suspects, leased to and lovingly tended by a local grower, the grounds were a symphony of neglect and decay. No flower bed, plant or shrub was spared the withering inattention of the hotel groundsman, if indeed there is one which I suspect there isn’t.
On climbing the still handsome original ornamental stone staircase to our first floor room, we gained an early insight into the standards of housekeeping at the Domaine de Breuil. The original iron bannister rail is now very loose, insecure and dangerously wobbly, apparently having had a poor quality ‘botched’ repair done to it.
Further evidence of the lack of care and maintenance was demonstrated when I tripped over one of two 18 mm high rusty threaded bolts which protrude from the floor of the main terrace where our dinner was served. In the same vein our room, number 115, had a bathroom which was well overdue a refit. We had several broken and ill fitting tiles in this bathroom, and a defective shower head unit which had to be held up with one hand.
Our dinner was similarly very poor. We place our order at 735pm and found the service to be desperately slow. Our starter arrived at 815pm and our main course at 920pm. The two pave de boeufs were ordered as rare and medium, but arrived well done.
The following morning there was no manager on duty so we followed our stay with an email complaint. We were offered a full refund but only on condition that we put up a positive Trip Advisor report which I felt would have been dishonest.
If you are wanting to stay in Cognac there are plenty of much much better hotels to choose from.

From an American POV, Domaine du Brueil may come off as quirky to some American travelers - light switches to turn on lights in the hallway, leaving your keys at the desk when you leave, separate room for the toilet, etc. That said, this is a beautiful property. The size of the rooms vary, but they are still handsome and well appointed. The people who manage the hotel do speak english and they make a pretty excellent breakfast in the morning. Oh, and the bar. The bar is handsome and is a fun spot to try a lot of the cognacs that we don't get in the US.

One of the previous reviewers had a good phrase: the timeless elegance of a bygone era... yes, it definitely has that about it: a beautiful chateau, sweeping drives, magnificent grounds and gardens which swoop and tumble away into the valley beyond.

The timeless quality was enhanced for us as virtually every other guest on the night was driving a vintage Bentley of one model or another (it's probably the only time my ten year old MX5 has been the newest car in the car park). The Bentleys (and their owners, mostly the same 'vintage' as their cars!) were having a tour around for a week or two, prior to attendance at the Circuit des Remparts weekend in Angouleme. This became an unexpected 'win' for us - in order to accomodate them all together, Madame upgraded us to a superior room on the first floor at the rear of the chateau, which had two huge bay windows looking out over the gardens, pool and the valley beyond. Comfortable bed, well equipped bathroom, free wi fi, and those stunning views. Excellent! This would normally be around the 120 euros mark as opposed to the 95 euros we paid, but I have to say it would be worth the extra if you decide to visit this hotel in future.

The journey across had been very warm indeed, and we decided to take advantage of the pool in the rear gardens. It is not large, but big enough, and we had it to ourselves (the older clientele having done some 'toe dipping' and deciding it was 'a bit fresh' for them..!). The pool has an infinity edge, facing out down the gardens to the valley beyond. After a cooling swim, we lay back on the sunbeds in the sun... it was one of those defining moments on a holiday where you realise you are both completely chilled out and it's perfect.

Our original plan had been to head into Cognac for the evening, but having already seen the hotel restaurant, with its crisp white table linen, silver, and hand written menus, we made the decision to stay put and enjoy the setting and the views. Although the 'Bentley brigade' was having a 30 strong soiree in the adjoining room, we had a delicious relaxing 3 course dinner, together with a bottle of Gascogne Brumont, mineral water, coffees and Grand Marnier, for a little over 90 euros. Service to table was prompt and attentive throughout.

They have every conceivable cognac at the bar - including my favourite Hine, produced locally at Jarnac. Later, as we lay in bed with the casements open wide, watching the lights twinkling across the valley, we could hear the sounds of bon vivant continuing downstairs. I am nowhere near ready to retire yet, but when I do, I hope it's like this.

Our last stay in France was in the Domaine de Breuil in Cognac and despite rumours from previous visitors that the local air is pungent with cognac, we did not detect it during our stay ! Our arrival to Cognac was from the east and the journey into the hotel was not that inspiring. When we finally arrived at the Domaine de Breuil it was a pleasant relief, the building looks magnificent. Evidently it was built around 1850 by one of the cognac distillers but is now run as a place to stay for visitors to the many distillers that surround the area. The inside of the building is spectacular, and the room we had was very good except for only 2 small pots of milk to make tea or coffee which seemed a bit mean ? We had a lovely meal in the evening, the waiters were very friendly and helpful and enjoyed a bottle of locally produced rose wine.
A very nice place to stay in.

We loved our stay here. We stayed as part of a Cycling holiday and rocked up at the end of a long, hot day...and were blown away by the first sight of the hotel. My husband, who hadn't seen the website, was particularly impressed.

We had a superior room, which I believe was worth the extra Euros. The room was a good size, and had lovely high ceilings and a big window. It wasn't posh but it was clean and welcoming.

But it was the rest of the hotel that we loved. The grounds are beautiful and incredibly peaceful. The pool (which we didn't use as it was too late for us) was beautiful, I was gutted not to have a swim. The staff were friendly and helpful and recommended a lovely restaurant in Cognac as their own restaurant was closed. There was a nice little sitting room, and bar, and seating on the veranda which people were resting on, looking like they were particularly chilled.

For me, it was an amazing opportunity to stay in such a lovely building, and at reasonable prices. I'd hugely recommend this hotel.
