Château De La Motte Fenelon  

We thought that it an oasis in a busy town. We found it quiet and the restuarant was excellent (decor, staff, food, service). We stayed in the orangery (?) and found the room a little small but very comfortable and tastefully decorated but missed any coffee/tea making facilities. Also, we found we couldn't have room service. We had a good experience and would recommend it to others.

Elegant, luxury at a bargain price. Excellent food

Beautifully restored Chateau, lovely building. Small, intimate friendly hotel. Delicious dinner in the hotel restaurant and very nice continental breakfast. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Clean. Lovely sittingrooms and very nice and well kept (small) grounds. Very enjoyable stay.

Excellent restaurant very difficult to find

The location is excelent, even for passing through.

The state of the room was rather outdated and really needs some updating. Especially when staying at the ''Greenery building'' the bathrooms need a serious renovation.

Location

Accommodation standard sub-standard for price billed as a superior room old cracked and poor standard no tea and coffee facilities a very very expensive mini bar bathroom in need of complete renovation

The restaurant was excellent.

We were placed in the "Orangerie" (annex building) where a wedding reception was underway when we arrived: This made us feel slightl uncomfortable as we had to walk back and forth through the guests.

We weren't sure what to expect after reading some of the other reviews but we liked the friendly & helpful staff, the size of the room (no 6 in the main chateau rather than the Orangerie) and the character of the place. Yes it is a little tired in places but this didn't detract anything & was a welcome change from the bland chain hotels. We also really liked the food & wine in the restauarant on site - choosing 2 courses from the a la carte menu rather than the 3 course set menu. Superb chocolate dessert! Location was not a problem - we walked into the town without any concerns.

The quiet location

Almost impossible to find

Accomodation Very good. Location good for motorway access.

Dining experience poor. Wine of choice not available. Vegetables cold and lacked taste. Main course was generally lacking in taste.

It's always good to see old buildings that have fallen into disuse find a rescuer and resuscitate its spirit. The Chateau is a lovely building which has been converted into a comfortable hotel, with an attractive restaurant in the old cellars. We stayed in comfortable and reasonably sized rooms in an out building. After a long day's cycle ride, I was happy to find a good shower and a comfortable bed. I had a good, but not exceptional dinner in the restaurant. Good breakfast the following morning.

The typical Frenchness of the hotel, forget the approach to the hotel once in the the front gates you are in an oasis of 19th century, the douves restaurant is excellent though some courses are far better value for money. We stayed two nights and the food was very good on both nights.we found the breakfast also very good, remember you are in France do not expect bacon and eggs but the croissant and pain au chocalat were morish together with fresh yogurt offered good value for 10 euros

The lack of tea making facility, The decorations are tired but reflect a bygone time which is not always a negative

The Staff is very nice. Nature around is beautiful.

Breakfast was quite poor for a 3 star hotel. The room (l'Orangerie) was not in the castle and looked poor for the price we paid. Also there was a nasty smell outside (probably from the fields or a farm). But no smell when in the hotel.
