Guest Reviews
- christian (8/5): -
- Katherine (7/5): -
- Maurice (10/5): Fantastische ervaring qua verblijf; bijzonder aardige gastheer en gastvrouw en fantastisch gegeten - Ontvangst, diner, bijzondere kamer Trap naar de kamer was erg steil
- hugues (8/5): Calme et reposant - Calme et pittoresque
- Stéphanie (9/5): Séjour février - Le calme L'escalier qui monte aux chambres et l'indication pour le parking
- Seigneur (9/5): - Personnel très agréable
- Michael (7/5): Don't advertise as an hotel until you light the place! - Told by proprietor that she did not want to cook dinner for me as the only guest and proposed a restaurant 4kms away. No signage at all outside the property (nb 'a 3 star hotel' creating a long search up and down the road to find it. My room was up a very steep, dark and unlit outside wooden staircase, I was told that it was ok as the light would come on when it was dark outside. When I returned from the restaurant, not a single light was on outside or inside, except the one I had left on, expecting nothing less, in my room. Had I not had a mobile phone with a light in it, there would have been pitch darkness. The breakfast was cery good and service attentive (being the only guest)
- Corinne (5/5): - Grande chambre Accueil sommaire, quand on tirait la chasse d'eau des toilettes ca remontait dans la douche.
- André (10/5): -
- LAURE (10/5): -
- Becquart Pierre (8/5): Nous avons prévu d'y refaire escale quand cela se présentera, l'humain passe avant les étoiles. - Emplacement correct et surprenant, la campagne en ville. Acceuil chaleureux et simple. Bonne table. Beaucoup de travaux en cours et à venir, nous espérons qu'ils tiendront dans la durée, les lieux et la famille le méritent. Un seul grief "climatique", la nuit, peu ou pas d'éclairage extérieur. Se lever"tôt" (entre 7 et 8 heures) et rejoindre son véhicule pour le charger relève de l'exploit dans le noir des allées et du parking (+/-100mètres)
- Fiona (8/5): Lovely place - It's a beautiful building. We saw a spectacular sunrise through the trees.
Lovely big bath and shower in the room we had.
Great breakfast!
It was a lovely respite after driving on motorways all the way from the south west of Spain. Off the beaten track. It would be helpful to warn guests that some (or all) of the rooms are not suitable for people with reduced mobility. The stairs going up to our room were extremely steep. And the bed was so high off the ground you have to climb into it!
- Karine (10/5): -
- Linda Duyvestyn (8/5): - Mooie locatie, hele vriendelijke mensen!
Je kan er dineren en ontbijten. Prima slaapverblijf ook voor tijdens de reis nr Spanje! Het stijle trapje nr de kamer. Maar tis gelukt😄
- Mireille (9/5): - Cadre très agréable et beau. L'accès à la chambre par un escalier un peu raide.
- Lucile (10/5): Belle découverte - Le charme, les volumes,
- Thierry (8/5): Louis xiv - Le personnel,la chambre spacieuse,le dîner Wifi dans la chambre
- Ulf (7/5): - Mycket bra bemötande och en fantastisk frukost Trång o smal trappa till
Rummet
- Johns (4/5): Honest opinion and first negative review
Phil, Suzanne and Trevor - The breakfast was very good. Fresh local products. Good coffee. Good parking for car and trailer. Beautiful property but very tired and requires attention. Very different from the photos and previous reviews.
The evening meal was very disappointing and not good value. We had two rooms, the first floor room access was very dangerous and extremely steep staircase. The second room on the ground floor was damp and had no ventilation other than the entrance door. No light or ventilation in the shower area.
- Pierre-Yves (5/5): Bien mais beaucoup trop cher pour la prestation (pas de climatisation) - • La taille de la chambre spacieuse
• Le calme • Pas de climatisation, juste un ventilateur basic (en pleine canicule)
- Susanne (10/5): Wir haben uns sehr gut erholt und man ist in 40 min an der malerischen Küste . - Das grosszügige Anwesen, das sehr gute Frühstück, die absolute Ruhe, die Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft der Familie, die romantische Ausstattung der Zimmer.
- Colin (10/5): Lots of character and a lovely old building ample parking - I liked the lovely old building and the setting in the gardens. N/A
- MARTIN (10/5): Escale au domaine - De passage pour une nuit, nous avons fait escale dans le domaine des chais. Nous étions loin de connaître le palmarès de ce lieu. Tout nous a séduit, l'accueil très chaleureux de nos hôtes, la chambre très fraîche grâce aux murs de pierre (34° dehors) et notre moto à l'hombre et sécurisée dans l'enceinte du domaine. Nous n'oublions pas la qualité des plats pour le dîner et le petit-déjeuner de roi.
Amis motards si vous entamez une discussion sur le 2 roues avec le propriétaire vous aurez de sacrées surprises 😉 Encore un grand MERCI à nos hôtes pour leur accueil, si nous repassons dans le secteur, c'est sans aucune hésitation que nous ferons halte à nouveau dans votre merveilleux domaine.
- PATRICIA (10/5): -
- Patricia (10/5): We will definitely come back again! - Beautiful clean and wonderful food Na
- Christopher (7/5): Remote and rural: you are left to your own devices. - Beautiful Chateau-like with geese and chickens. Very rural. Perfect location for visiting our friends locally.
Spacious accommodation. Rooms were a bit cold and damp. I think we were the first occupants for a while.
- Hugh (8/5): Very good - Clean and comfortable. Signs for the hotel were not very visible to see
- Jane (6/5): Amazing building and hosts, noisy geese at night and staircase dodgy - Location and building Geese waking us up at night and stair case to room
- Geoffrey (7/5): Very convenient overnight stop between the South of France and St Malo. - The breakfast was very good , and consisted of eggs, cheese , ham, bread& of course coffee.
- Jenny (1/5): Closed - The property was closed, there was no one there
So we were obliged to look elsewhere
Very unsatisfactory unable to rate property as we never got in
- Jane (3/5): Could be amazing. - It looked a beautiful place on the website, but in reality a bit disappointing. Our room was for two people, so why was there only one coffee pod, one tea bag, no milk or sugar and only two small paper cups?
- Colinjohn (10/5): Exceptional -
- Patrick (6/5): Nice ambiance, shame about the reality..we’ll not be back! - Rural location but still adjacent to Saintes and the autoroute. Charming, characterful rooms and building. Rooms clean and tidy. No hot water in the morning ( offered use of bathroom in next door room which was unoccupied). Wifi signal in room weak to none ( mentioned in room info but not in booking info). Most miserable breakfast we’ve ever had in France!
Single front-of-house person had to refer to unseen superior to resolve any issue….rural alarm-cockerel @ dawn ( I accept it’s a fact of rural life)…
- Rory (10/5): Great stay great food - Marie was very friendly. Geese and rooster excellent. Nice and peaceful Empty shower/body wash
- Tim (9/5): lovely. would come again anytime - great room lovely dinner and breakfast could do with some double glazing but it’s a minor quibble
- Cyril (10/5): - Superbe cadre, au calme du brouhaha touristique sans en être trop éloigné. Des gérants très accueillants et sympathiques, toujours prêts à partager de bons conseils.
- Jacqueline (8/5): - Convenable
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Je vous le recommande pas la gerante est désagréable
- Peter (6/5): Skuffende chauteau - Hyggeligt chauteau langt fra alting. Der står bar og restaurante, men det havde de valgt at lukke. Det betød at vi måtte kører 10 km. for at få aftensmad, da der ikke er nogle restauranter i nærheden. Havde vi vidst det, havde vi valgt et andet sted, at overnatte. Det var en skam, for stedet kunne havde været hyggeligt.
- Olivier (4/5): Escroquerie - Chambre familial où on nous a compter un supplément pour le deuxième lit contrairement au prix annoncé. Pas de piscine ! Télé qui marche pas chasse d eau des toilette idem
- LAURENT (10/5): Superbe - es bel établissement,propriétaires tres gentils et demaure magnifique. Grandes chambres tout confort a renouveler
- Sandy (6/5): Déçu - Très beau cadre
Mais propreté plus que douteuse tasse sale dans la chambre salle de bain pas propre .
La télé ne fonctionnait pas malgré la remarque à la réception.
Et au chaude au bout de 15 à 20 mn a tirée de l’ezu .
- John (10/5): Fabulous, peaceful place to stay - After a long drive from Calais, a perfect place to stay in the quiet of the countryside. A warm friendly welcome, spacious rooms, an excellent restaurant, even catering for my wife, vegetarian, and myself with a dairy product allergy. We had a great meal washed down with some good very local wine. We were so relaxed, we slept in by an hour more than usual
- patiu (10/5): Belles chambres à thème - Belles chambres joliment décorées avec goût, spacieuses (la nuptiale et la romantique). Bon accueuil. Un petit bémol sur la qualité du service au restaurant par ailleurs de bonne facture.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Terrible welcome, owner quite rude. Restaurant very overpriced and not good.
- robert (8/5): - Great place, good food and great service!!
- Scott (10/5): Country chateau on the way from Paris to Biarritz - Lovely stay at this rustic country chateau, reminiscent of an old winery or convent. The countryside around Thenac is quite beautiful and the setting is perfect. Room, service, and food were all excellent.
- RICHARD (10/5): - Accueil tres sympathique.
Tres calme et reposant
