Torally awesome
Pros:

The view of the hotel from the drive was breathtaking. Everything was outstanding. The interior design was fantastic and our room was amazing with a view over the gardens. Our evening meal was delicious with great service and an excellent choice of wines. Breakfast was also excellent with everything you could want including plenty of hot dishes. The staff were fabulous, friendly and extremely helpful especially as they ensured my husband who has mobility problems was very well looked after. They really made our stay stress free for which I cannot thank them enough.

Cons:

Nothing at all

Pros:

Beautiful chateau surrounded by a magnificent golf course. Excellent restaurant where the limited choices are compensated by the excellent classical French cuisine and good reasonably priced choices of wines. Very friendly staff

Pros:

Contents d’être venus mais n’y reviendrons pas . Personnel adorable et très professionnel. Cadre étonnant , beau et très agréable . Piscine chauffée . Dîner de qualité.
Wifi dans les étages un peu aléatoire . Chambre correcte mais d’autres semblent très confortables. Petit déjeuner très limite pour un 5*, plutôt digne d’un 2-3* ( peu de choix, œufs brouillés ratés etc) . Le parcours du propriétaire est admirable mais son rêve de vie de château devrait pouvoir s’accompagner d’un peu de classe . Il parle haut et fort ( s’est excusé une fois) dans les couloirs comme à table avec ses convives . Le côté « m’as tu vu » transpire dans la décoration un peu clinquante , « nouveau riche » , l’affichage outrancier et caricatural des peintures monumentales de lui même , de sa femme et de sa fille , parodiant une aristocratie sans en avoir la discrétion . Le terme « snob » est tiré du latin « sine nobilitatis » ( sans noblesse) .

Cons:

La discrétion et l’élégance
