A great hotel with a lot of history, nature and romance. It was an unforgettable stay!
Pros:

It was a great experience to sleep in a castle like this. The surroundings are just lovely and there are four lovely dogs running around the premises. The food was really good and the staff really friendly and helpful. We good wander around to take pictures and the staff can tell you a lot of interesting stories about the castle and people that visited or lived there. All in all, it was a lovely and unforgettable stay.

Cons:

Unfortunately, we stayed there during the insane heat wave and the rooms weren‘t really equipped to deal with this kind of heat, so it was very warm.

Come nelle favole!
Pros:

Ho soggiornato in questo castello con la mia famiglia. L’atmosfera è molto romantica e sembra di vivere in una favola. Peccato che la nostra camera era fuori dalla struttura principale. Raggiungibile in due minuti a piedi. Colazione molto buona compresa nel prezzo. Abbiamo aggiunto la cena nel ristorante centrale, qualità alta il prezzo di conseguenza. Parcheggio gratuito in loco. Consigliato!

Cons:

Darei una tinteggiata alle mura esterne.

A wonderful splurge!
Pros:

Beautiful, serene, well appointed.

Cons:

Anything but coffee/tea (I.e. an Americano) was an up charge. That’s insane after paying so much for a room.

Séjour élégant
Pros:

Château très charmant, belle decoration même si parfois un peu kitsch, chambre énorme, délicieuse bagnoire sur pieds, très bon restaurant, dans un cadre superbe.

Cons:

Les serveurs au restaurant pas trop souriants, pas pressés de venir te faire asseoir le matin au petit déjeuner, mais serviables quand même.

Main building and grounds. Section for families to stay a very nice though:) had a lovely time and amazing wedding renewal moments and photos!!! Thank you so much :)

Cons:

A little fancy, was not expecting this level of high standards. This was reinforced by majordom behaviour when inquiring about super arrangements.

Top, maar men eist een grandeur op een manier die niet van de 21ste eeuw is
Pros:

Ontbijt is zeer lekker met veel keuze en verse productenen het hoofd van het personeel is ontzettend vriendelijk

Cons:

Lang wachten en omslachtig alvorens je ‘s morgens een tafel wordt toegewezen.
Het avondeten was duur voor wat het was.
