Pros:

Deux remarques
Attention à l'entretien général des bâtiments et du parc : peintures de portes salies et défraîchies, dalles d'accès chambre déplacées, ...ce bel endroit pourrait être mis beaucoup plus en valeur.
J'ai eu la malchance de cotoyer un groupe présent (Lions club je crois) : je souhaitais un dîner et un petit déjeuner calmes et reposants, mais j'ai eu le contraire ; certaines personnes manquent de respect et de savoir-vivre élémentaires, dommage....

Décevant
Pros:

Séjour décevant au regard du manque de confort (literie, bruit, chaleur excessive, tuyau de douche trop court obligeant à se contorsionner pour se doucher) et du manque de propreté (mauvaises odeurs, ménage pas fait, salle de bain sale : joints sales, toiles d'araignées, présence de résidus noirs sortant des robinets).

Le petit déjeuner vaut tout juste son prix de 14€. Il est dommage de ne pas trouver des produits de meilleure qualité vu la région dans laquelle nous nous trouvons.

Moyen
Pros:

Cadre très joli, cependant l hébergement est moyen, salle de bain très vielle, insonorisation inexistante, seul un ventilateur donc chambre chaude en cette période.
On est en mesure d espérer beaucoup mieux pour ce type d hébergement.

No air conditioning in room.
Pros:

Room 14- family room. No air con. Our room was absolutely boiling and the only concession the to 37 degree heat was a freestanding tower fan on the corner.
The room was clean and the beds comfortable. No outdoor furniture (which the other rooms in our row all had) and as our room as too hot to sit in we had to fetch beach towels from the car to sit in the grass. There was a kettle but no cups, sugar or milk.
Restaurant was excellent and the breakfast was excellent.

Passable
Pros:

Domaine magnifique, malheureusement la propreté de la chambre laisse a désirer. La piscine ne fait pas du tout envie (beaucoup de saletes en surface) restaurant je pense de qualite mais trop élevé par rapport a mon budget donc pas testé. Petit dejeuner minimaliste pas veaucoup de choix, pain surgelé de mauvaise qualité.

Gênant
Pros:

Bon séjour
Nous avons été dérangés par les gémissements d’une fouine dans le doublage de la salle de bain situé dans la tour du château pendant une grande partie de la nuit
Sinon belle chambre et bon petit déjeuner

Disappointing
Pros:

We were very disappointed with our stay. On the bright side it is good value and the breakfast was good.

On the negative the room was very hot as it is in the attic, it is dated from 1980's, the pool is small and a bit murky. the loungers ned a clean.The reception didn't tell us the restaurant was closed on Sunday evenings. And the room was smaller than booked - the room for 5 people does not apparently exist.

hôtel sympa
Pros:

le coin est vraiment sympa, la chambre était pas mal, mais sentait le renfermé et il y avait beaucoup d'humidité dans la salle de bain vu qu'il n'y a ni VMC ni fenêtre pour aéré.
sinon hôtel sympa avec plusieurs type de chambre
