    Could do with some milk in the room for the tea & coffee

    Perfect stop over location, couldn’t believe we were the only guests. Didn’t get a chance to try the pool as the summer was fading fast

    Take your own picnic or drive to a restaurant.

    Totally charming, comfortable, voluminous, high ceilings, big rooms with a welcoming and friendly owner. Old school and all the better for it! A great stopping off point.

    The one thing sadly that we do need to report is the odor. It was quite musty and if anyone is sensitive to that smell, you really need to consider your stay.  it is a very old property so you do need to consider that. The space is clean and dust free. It’s just an old building, so you really need to know that it comes with a particular scent. A little more lighting in the driveway and entrance would be a good thing. We went out for dinner and returned after dark and had a hard time going up the driveway that was pitch dark. There is a motion sensor light above the door. However, if you don’t get your key prepared and you will be left waving your arms to turn it back on. Not a huge big deal, but something to consider if you are , elderly or with children. The entrance into the Château also didn’t have any lighting when we returned so thankfully, our cell phones helped us go up the stairs.

    Beautiful chateau. Completely authentic, all of the decor is proper antiques. The room was spacious, high ceilings, and decorated beautifully. The views from our window were sensational. The owner is very friendly and modest. The gardens are lovely.

    only problem for us was no restaurant. we passed through so very tired. had to pop out again to get food. perhaps the super host / owner should strike a delivery deal with a nice restaurant? just a thought. would stay again if a longer stay

    it’s stunning ! great for a chill out and super quiet

    There was no wifi connection in our room, only in the breakfast room downstairs.

    The chateau was what you would expect - a giant mansion with a lot of French flair to it. There's definitely history to the property but it was well maintained and clean. Breakfast was freshly made each day and the host was friendly and hopsitable. We were the only ones staying at the chateau and it was very quiet. The children loved seeing the rabbit, chickens and the dog on the property. They also opened up the pool for us which was a bonus.

    Chateau is just beautiful 😍 stunning setting, grounds were beautiful. Would love to visit again in the summer months for the pool, etc. Our girls loved the little pet rabbit! Very comfortable bed. Bathroom old but very clean. Breakfast was gorgeous, croissants were so fresh 😋 had the place to ourselves for the night. An authentic stay!

    No shower, only a bath. That's it.

    A lovely chateau in splendid grounds, this is an event facility to visit. The member of staff that we met was very friendly, helpful & accommodating. Even though we were the only people staying that night, the house was warm (November). Over night, the house was near silent, aiding a truly restful sleep. Breakfast was ample & excellent quality: coffee, bread, pain au chocolat and croissant with fruit, ham & (fabulous) soft cheese. Local towns were largely closed, but Le Mans is close by and a fabulous city centre with lots of great VFM restaurants. The chateau is a good distance from/to the main road.

    There was no hot water for our whole stay, so that included the evening and the next day (we did receive a refund after asking). The room itself was large, but has seen better days and was very tired and in desperate need of a renovation. Nothing to eat or drink within walking distance, you have to drive. Breakfast was also basic and not worth the inclusion in the overall price. The house itself is grand but again very tired and the whole stay is really not worth the amount initially charged. Very disappointing overall. Seen better days I think!

    The chateau is wonderful to behold, but this is a facade and it is style over substance. Tree lined entrance exceptional. The grounds are superb if you are travelling with a dog, and it is a very peaceful setting. Parking is free and safe. The person who manages the chateau was helpful.
