La Borde en Sologne Château & Spa

Real castle and one feels like it

The check-in process was quick and efficient, which created a positive first impression. However, several aspects of our stay fell short of expectations, particularly in relation to service and responsiveness.

Upon arrival in our room, we discovered that the television was not functioning. Attempts to contact reception were unsuccessful, as no one could be reached.

Breakfast service was especially disappointing. After waiting over 20 minutes without being attended to, we had to clear a table ourselves in order to be seated. Despite staff witnessing this, no assistance was offered. When we requested clean cutlery, it took more than 10 minutes, and we ultimately had to retrieve it ourselves from the kitchen. Additionally, a staff member accidentally broke a glass at the breakfast buffet and left large shards of glass on the counter near the coffee machine. Unfortunately, I sustained a minor scratch as a result, having not noticed the broken glass in time.

Poolside service was similarly lacking. On multiple occasions, I had to go up to the restaurant three or four times to reorder water or other beverages, as my orders were repeatedly not delivered. On one occasion, I waited over 20 minutes in the restaurant just to receive a bottle of water—an unpleasant experience, particularly in 26°C heat.

While the property itself is lovely, the level of service provided did not align with the price point of our stay. Significant improvements are needed to meet the standards expected fr

Bon avis général. Equipes au top, lieu magnifique. Quelques errements au niveau du service dû a un sous- effectif en restauration.

Perfect start to a holiday

A wonderful property! A favorite for children who love the outdoors. Great service.

Cadre magnifique, personnel charmant
Nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir

Très bon séjour, pas de surprise, tant mieux.
Exactement comme le descriptif.
3 petits points négatifs :
Pas de room-service,
Chambre très froide à l’arrivée ,
Pas de lumière au centre de la chambre, en laissant un coin (selou du thé et café) dans l’obscurité.
À renouveler le séjour !

place in middle of Loire valley; rural area with bugs and greenheads but incredible views, history, architecture, chateaus and so on; all hotel stuff was extremely friendly and nice; very good breakfast; well renovated; we enjoyed every minute there, pool, hamam; didn't have time for spa though... we will come back for sure

Belles installations, piscine, velo, lac avec barques
MAIS
Chambre vue fontaine bruyante la nuit
Deco tres impersonnelle
Accueil impersonnel
Capacité restaurant inférieure aux chambres ; or pas de restau valable a moins de 15’ en voiture
Attention petit déjeuner = prix exagéré si vous oubliez de cocher la case a 15€ lorsque vous reservez la chambre…

This is an extraordinary castle. The rooms and facilities are gorgeous. However the way the hotel is run is not geared towards customers service.
For instance if it wasn’t for two people at the front desk we would of not had anything to eat during our stay.
There is only one restaurant with limited availability and no room service. Unfortunately we stayed on a Sunday and a Monday when most of the stores and restaurants are closed in the area. We hope to return and will certainly make reservations way in advance.

Very nice experience.

Site magnifique avec chateau et pièce d'eau, le petit déjeuner etait copieux avec profuits de qualité. La literie française ! Est excellente. Pret de velos pour se promener dans le parc de 35 ha, ferme pédagogique pour les enfants. Le personnel est tres professionnel. Tres belle expérience a 2.

Perfect overnight stay with the family - wish it could have been far longer. They really have thought of everything ... then made it discreet.

Loved it, would've loved it more to be in the main house, but nevertheless, it was a beautiful place.

Excellent séjour avec nos deux bambins sur ce pont de mai.
La suite familiale était top. Très grande, tout confort, J'ai adoré les douches.
Le domaine offre plein d'activités qui ravissent les enfants : vélo, barque, ferme éducative... nous reviendrons ! Nous n'avons pas été emballés par le dîner au château, unique point à améliorer. En revanche nous nous sommes régalés dans les restaurants à quelques kilomètres de voiture.

Great property for both romantic or family stay. Great food options and electric car charger too. Staff very friendly.

Was a beautiful country chateau with lovely grounds to walk and bike. Restaurant was exceptional, better than the Michelin named ones in the surrounding area. Very peaceful. Staff very friendly and helpful.

great choice for dinner, clean, kindness. 128 acres…. hunting, bikes, fishing, canoe, spa activity…. new modern facility!!

My daughter and I stayed for a few days as a home base while we checked out some chateaux in the area. The property was beautiful, our room was wonderful and the staff were fabulous. I would highly recommend this boutique hotel for anyone who wants to live a little luxuriously while on vacation. I am anxious to come back with my husband.

Really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful hotel, lots to do for the kids and the staff were amazingly helpful. Would highly recommend!!
