Fantastic to stay in a real chateau! The games rooms were great and added to the experience. Really helpful to have a little kitchen as it is in a small village (and was a stormy night so glad to stay in). Location is also great for Poitiers and the motorway.

The chateau is amazing, we loved the atmosphere and that there was so much to do (swimming pool, table tennis etc.) - we really enjoyed our stay!

We got there when France regional temperatures were 37 degrees Celsius. Not a usual weekly occurance just yet, but the host's air conditioning unit was unable to cope. Also one of our rooms had no air-conditioning unti. Something for the host to monitor as the world gets hotter.

Lots for the kids to do: Table tennis, swimming pool, snooker/billiards room, card games, board games Breakfast was great especially the croissant and the coffee. Useful egg boiler. The cheese selection was fab, fruit, cereal selection. Poitiers and futuroscope werebboth less than thirty minutes away. Airport was just a few minutes away. Self catering, with lots of supermarkets less than fifteen minutes away The rooms were huge and plenty of bed options Vivian is a great, friendly host. Her team are also very competent and helpful. The team was able to suggest useful local activities (bowling, mini golf etc) I could take the family to on the last day while waiting for the plane.

I had the pleasure of staying at the beautiful Château d’Avanton for a night. The hostess Vivianne was incredibly welcoming and helpful. The room I had was beautiful and well-appointed, making for a comfortable stay. Also the breakfast was exceptional! I can highly recommend this B&B!

there was nowhere walkable to have an evening meal, so I ended up cooking. which was ok but not ideal really.

lovely chateau with comfortable room & fully equipped kitchen.

A rather long drive to find somewhere to eat in the evening. First place, about 10 minutes away was fully booked, so had a further 20 mins drive to the next place. Best to ask for a reservation at the first venue to be booked in advance.

Very helpful and considerate host. Very clean and a good breakfast.

Room was spacious with plenty of tables and chairs. The view from the bathroom was superb, it would be great to have a larger window in the bedroom. Breakfast was good and the dining room was fantastic. Great area for walking and cycling. Viviane was a well organised and good host.

The ambience was perfect. Magnificent rooms in style. Our rooms had separate kitchen area (including microwave/oven) and large bathroom with Jack and Jill washbasins. Just a lovely experience.

Can’t speak highly enough of this lovely chateau/hotel. All mod cons whilst retaining all the character of the chateau. I absolutely loved it and will be returning.

Our host is always so very welcoming. The room is excellent for a family. All facilities included are excellent. We love the pool, games room and table tennis.Location is superb for the nearby city and theme park. Parking amble. Setting just beautiful.

Although the kitchen was useful it wasn’t in keeping with the rest of the room (which was authentic)so not sure about that.

The superb history of the castle was so interesting - to use the stone steps used for hundreds of years by generations was quite something and the size of it was breathtaking. A small equipped kitchen was available within our room and a small supermarket and bar close by. The breakfast room was very authentic with furniture and tapestries to suit the castle exactly.

Nothing not to like. It was brilliant.

Extraordinary place - most places that look like a castle don't feel like a castle when you get inside. Château d'Avanton is truly authentic, it has not been 'modernised' and so keeps all its character. But it's very comfortable, has everything you'd need (and more). Great breakfast and a super welcome from Madame. A really exceptional place to stay.

chateau is absolutely stunning! We stayed in the Donjon apartment which was over 2 floors in one of the towers. huge bedroom, little lounge, kitchen and bathroom. beautiful views. The host was lovely, the grounds are super and it has a games room and a pool. very close to several restaurants. Breakfast was great.

We loved it although the bathroom could probably do with updating a little.

A beautiful old chateau with lots of character in a small village outside of Poitiers. Full of history and a lovely host who was helpful and kind to us non French speakers. The room was comfortable and clean with plenty of antiques and characterful furniture. We also had a small well equipped kitchen although we didn’t use it other than for hot drinks and glasses for wine.
