Le Chateau Japonais  

I had high expectations given the positive reviews. In reality however, and rather unfortunately, its nothing more than a rather basic guest house with a loo that blows hot air and a deep (but not broad) bubble bath. The furnishing were tired, paint chipped form the walls, a very basic TV with freeview and little contact from the management who simply took payment when I arrived and told me to see myself out - a very lazy approach to managing a boutique B&B/ Hotel.At £99 without breakfast its was both dissapointing and expensive compared to better options nearby.

The pool as fantastic, as was the decor of the rooms, with the Japanese theme throughout.

Breakfast was very simple, 1 slice of toast and half an apple danish, with two choices of cereal available. Coffee machine wasn't working while we were there though was fixed.

the hotel is very clean and looks really lovely. the staff are really friendly and helpful here. we have an excellent stay. everyone was very friendly to ruby (our dog) and she settled in very well. the jacuzzi in our bedroom was definetly an added bonus, we loved it :) the garden and the heated pool is amazing. loved it!!!

The friendly, no fuss welcome. Very comfortable room with exceptional bathroom which included a jacuzzi. Very relaxed atmosphere.

The front door from the road looked tired and in need of a makeover, which doesn't make a positive statement of a guest house on arrival. People could be put off initially if they were just passing and wondering whether to make a booking.

Loved the spa/bath in the room, it was amazing - Very romantic. Wish I had time to go in the heated pool, I put my hand in and it felt lovely. Breakfast was nice too, a choice of cerial, tea, coffee and juice. They also give you toast made with nice thick bread and real butter. Would deffo stay again.

This was our second trip and we were pleased to see they now offer a simple breakfast at weekends. It is a quirky place, but the spa pool and japanese jacuzzi thing are great. Personally I don't much like the japanese toilet seat, but it is all part of the style of the place. Booking through this website meant our stay only cost £63 which is great value.

The spa outside

The jacuzzi in bedroom didn't work and the Japanese toilet didn't work

The facilities are fantastic. The swimming pool was the right temperature, the Jacuzzi bath was very good, the toilet was a special one from Japan, with a heated seat and bidet built in. The bed was a bit small for a double, but comfy to lay on. The room was nicely decorated and that also goes for the rest of the building.

I was lucky enough to get a good deal at Le Chateau Japonais. There are not many bad things I could say. The only issues that I could think of that the changing/shower rooms by the swimming pool could do with a spruce up. That is about it. I would think the price of a double usually would cost between £70 & £90 at this hotel. Although the price I got was a lot cheaper because of a "lucky" fault on booking.com. Oh they could use a bigger sign, or at least one that is easier to see, rather then just a plaque on the front door.

we had really great time in there. highly recommended. 5 mins walk to town center. lovely place.

it was diffrent thats why we went over all very good

the breakfast was over rated and the robees could have been bigger size the towels and robes could do with some TLC ie comfort

Friendly welcome; Lovely room - tastefully decorated; Everything very clean; Enjoyed floating in the heated outdoor pool at night; Comfy beds

Loved the large spa in our room ,the japanese rock pool and the little touches like dressing gowns and japanese shoes .the staff were very friendly and helpful,as the kitchen was being renovated they recommended a very good place for breakfast ,which was excellent.I have already recommended the chateau japonais and my partner and I will be staying again

Dressing gowns could come in larger sizes and a mirror in the bedroom would be nice whe

Love the bathrooms and the spa swimming pool.
