Château de La Cote  

Food was good

Gate house was damp and smelly

Very well presented chateau in excellent grounds, good location. A really charming place to stay, and one I highly recommend for couples looking for quiet. You will be pleased when you approach the chateau from the road, it's photogenic. Very near to Brantome which is a brilliant little town, traditional Dordogne look to it, good restaurants, friendly people etc. Relatively easy to find, with the hotel signed from the main road. One of those where you drive down a country lane and each time you think you've gone too far a sign appears. But be warned - the hotel is not where google maps thinks it is (are they ever?) Friendly staff, okay english, were helpful with directions and flexible with us checking out at an awkward time. Cleaner very amicable and did her job well. Generally a good atmosphere. We were upgraded to a superior room, was very large i.e. a suite, including enormous bathroom in a turret. Windows on both sides meant really light and airy, so room was very comfortable indeed, and views were excellent. Had a look at a standard room and was pretty large also. Note that rooms aren't majorly high-spec, old furniture and v small TV. No air con but wasn't a problem in decent weather. Good pool area separate from the main building, was very quiet for the duration of our stay. Lots of parking. No chavvy english scum.

Shame that this hotel caters best for people looking for quiet, but lets children stay. We were woken each morning by a combination of early rising pre-teens above us and very creaky floors/thin walls. Restaurant isn't great - food so-so, and rather expensive. Note also standard booking doesn't include breakfast which at 20euros a head isn't cheap. Brantome is an easy drive away and has loads of restaurants, so not a problem. We were trying to escape from work, but it has to be said, WIFI in rooms would be useful (there is WIFI in the reception), Watch out for the seductive paths leading into woodland in the grounds - this is France remember, there is a lot of dog mess

The outside of the Chateau was beautiful and the surrounding landscape was very picturisque.

The outside of the Chateau had a lot more appeal than then inside. It is in desperate need of renovation and updating. The rooms and bathroom were shocking, especially since we booked a suite. We found it expensive in comparison to other accommodation in the area, for what they had to offer. It is in poor taste they charge you extra 5.00 euro for wifi which you can only get in the lounge area of the Chateau. All in all we were very dissapointed.

El castillo está en el campo, y se llega por una carretera secundaria. A nosotros nos encantó que estuviera un poco alejado, sin casas a su alrededor y en plena naturaleza. No obstante, a pocos kilómetros se encuentra Brantome. Tanto el entorno como el propio castillo, es muy bonito, y nos ha sorprendido gratamente.

Cuando llegamos nos dijeron que nuestra habitación no estaba en el hotel. Si queríamos dormir en el hotel, teníamos que pagar un suplemento de 90 euros (habíamos pagado 75 por la habitación). Nuestra habitación estaba situada junto al portón de entrada de la finca (vamos, la antigua casa del guarda), con lo cual se oía el ruido de cualquier coche que saliera o entrara al reciento o pasara por la carretera (afortunadamente tenía escaso tráfico). La habitación necesitaba una mano de pintura y muchas mejoras y la decoración era pésima, parecía que la habían amueblado y decorado con restos de muebles, lo cual es una pena teniendo en cuenta el lugar. El cuarto de baño bastante lúgubre (en invierno debe hacer un frío...) y la bañera no apta para duchas: sin mampara o cortina y con una ventana colocada a lo largo de la bañera, por la cual podría verte cualquiera que pasara cerca. La verdad es que nos ha defraudado, y nos hemos sentido como clientes de segunda, alojados en la casa "del servicio". La habitación más apropiada para los amantes de las películas de terror que para quien busque una noche romántica.

Le cadre

le silence !!!

le coté desuet de la deco de l annexe ou nous etiont loges

Le cadre, le charme un peu désuet et romantique des chambres. Le site. La qualité de l'accueil même si le personnel est insuffisant (attente).

Le restaurant: les mets et le service ne sont pas à la hauteur du cadre ni... Des prix.

de landelijke rustige omgeving, een mooi kasteel en een fijn zwembad met ruimte voor onze dochter van 2 om te spelen.

Geen mogelijkheid om buiten te ontbijten. Weinig tafels om buiten te kunnen dineren bij mooi weer.

La tranquilité

Les sèche-cheveux mis en route à 7h30 le matin dans la chambre voisine

una sola parola meraviglioso, è vero la colazione è cara, ma sei in vero castello francese

El entorno y el propio castillo.

La habitación tenía muy poca intimidad, pues estaba a ras de suelo.

Belle piscine et beau batiment, les chambres dans le pavillon à l'entree sont agréables et confortables

les acces se font sur des voies gravillonnées ce qui peut entrainer des nuisances sonores au niveau du pavillon (entree et sortie des véhicules)
