    A beautiful old château in quite surroundings. The owner and staff were really friendly and polite and the food in the restaurant was some of the best food I’ve eaten in France.

    A little dusty, but added to the charm! There was a swimming pool, but obviously not in use.

    This chateau was a great place to stay with many traditional features. The owner was very helpful and friendly and the food in the restaurant was imaginative and beautifully prepared.

    15EUR is overpriced for a breakfast. If you get the room above the restaurant at a busy time of the year, it can be noisy at night.

    Lovely location, convenient that there is a restaurant in house. Our room was nice, clean and spacious. Bonus points for how soft the bedding and the towels were! The dutch owner was always lovely and welcoming!

    Our only negative was the price of the breakfast, if it was more affordable we would have had it more than once but felt it was too pricey for what it was.

    The room was stunning and the views are incredible. It was a great size room and was very comfortable. Loved that it was so dog friendly and we could walk our dog in the forest right on site. The restaurant made delicious pizzas and had affordable food and wine.

    This is an interesting castle hotel with a rustic feeling. Very nice park and swimming pool, nice terrace for al fresco dining, overall perfect for midsummer nights. Excellent food at the restaurant with organic products. The room was comfortable with everything you need, with a touch of rustic feeling in the decoration. The Dutch owner is welcoming and friendly. Very good value for money. Excellent location in rural green Perigord.

    Well... it s difficult to have a good night's sleep when your room is just above a restaurant room where noisy people stay up until one or two in the morning

    Classy castle with beautiful grassy garden. Nice pool. Great restaurant for on-site dinner. Friendly staff.

    Disappointed.

    The owner is very rude and speaks broken English and barely any French. He attacked me verbally just because he did not understand my question. He does not care about guests unless they are from the Netherlands, then he is all lovey-dovey around them. The food at the restaurant is probably just bought from a supermarket, definitely not home-made as they claim. Also, it is overpriced and they do not give information about allergens, so when I specifically asked to remove any nuts from the salad, they just nodded their heads and in 30mins brought a salad with.. nuts. When I asked them to bring me a new meal, the owner started to yell at me in Dutch. The rooms are in a very bad condition (broken pieces of furniture, hair on the carpet, broken tiles in the bathroom, questionable stains on the walls, smelly sheets,..). The rooms are above the restaurant and get noisy during the night, even after 10pm. We could not sleep because of the noise until 1:30am. The restaurant guests were smoking just below our room, disgusting. The "park" is not well taken care of. I would be horrified to bring kids here as the "playground" is full of broken pieces and kids can easily get injured. The swimming pool is not usable, the fence around it is broken.

    It was quite easy to find the place. And that's about it.

    Stains on carpets and furniture, broken bathrooms, hair in the bathtub as if it had not been cleaned since the previous stay. Terrible smell of carpets and musty curtains. Rude owner/manager.

    Beautiful from the outside, extremely disappointing/unclean from the inside

    The room had a separate bathroom and separate toilet and was excellent. We (two couples) stayed for two nights in April 2022 and it snowed! Nevertheless the rooms were warm. The restaurant was open on the two nights we stayed (not sure it is open every night) and the food was great. The owner of the chateau and the staff were friendly and helpful.
