Pros:

Beautiful, eccentric old property. A bit chilly on a frosty winter night but a log fire in the dining room contributed to a warm welcome.

Flink voor de gek gehouden en een flinke kater als afsluiting van de vakantie
Pros:

Niets!

Cons:

De viezigheid in het gebouw. Overal hondenharen en niets werd opgeruimd. Kerstdecoratie en corona attriburen lagen nog te slingeren. Overal gevulde asbakken. Een onteerde hofvijver. Vies en verroest tuinmeubilair, stoelen lagen her en der verspreid. Wat een trieste vertoning! En overal roken, ook binnenshuis.

Pour les amateurs de Château Rustique
Pros:

Sur le chemin de Saint Jacques de Compostelle, grande chambre bien insonorisée.

Cons:

Nécessite un rafraîchissement intérieur et extérieur, pas facile car le domaine est immense.

Selon les attentes, vérifier que la piscine et le restaurant sont "en activités" avant de réserver
Pros:

Le site merveilleux, l'environnement, la tranquillité

Cons:

La piscine en panne et le restaurant fermé alors que j'avais réservé principalement ces prestations. Ceci du fait que je voyage en moto avec l'envie de pouvoir ce détendre dans l'eau et ne pas devoir prendre la moto pour aller manger le soir.
Cependant, le patron m'a gentiment emmené en voiture pour manger dans une petite gargote locale bien loin de mes attentes.

Bien mais trop cher
Pros:

L’emplacement est top, la literie est bien.

Cons:

La chambre est veillote, les, coussins sont beaucoup trop plat et fins, il manque de prises murales, le petit déjeuner n’est pas à la hauteur du prix, je m’attendais à mieux
