  : It was built as a fort which made the stay more interesting than the usual chateaux. We had a comfortable room overlooking a wooded area with a stream running through it. Unfortunately we were not able to do the tour which would have been interesting. Marion ? was very helpful.
  : The dinner was expensive for what we got.

  : Perfect.
  : Bath plug and shower need some attention. It is not clear where to go to check in.

  : Room was great. Wonderful to be staying in a medieval castle. Lovely appropriate decor. Breakfast was basic; juice , croissants, jam , coffee
  : Th evening meal was outrageously expensive! 32 euros pp. For melon soup, one piece of chicken with buckwheat, no vegetable, cheese and a piece of dry cake for dessert, no cream or creme anglaise. Wine was extra too. Emailed the owner to point out that this was a rip off. No response.

  : The property was unique and has a good potential. The bed was very comfy (very hard and huge which ensured good rest). The bathroom was good, overall the rooom was nice.
  : I am a chateau owner myself and i know how big a challenge it is owning one not to mention running a b&b in one. The hostess as nice as she was, was not managing the huge task on hand. It clearly owerwhelmed her and it shows at every stage of our one night stay. I was cringing at all the lost opportunities to make our stay at least acceptable. I wish the lady a pleasant and quiet retirement or someone to run the business.for her. At the current state of things the experience is closer to a 4 mark despite my "7" which i gave partially from pity for the owner and partially as a fellow chateau owner . The property is barely fit for habitation, rooms have no accoustic separation, all floors including the new ones creak above, below, one can hear conversations from all sides ... the barking dog, smell of pesticide at entrance, horrid breakfast (white bread and jam); it was one the most unpleasant experiences i have had in a long time. At a.price of 60 Euros I might have understood but not at 120E.
