  : We have really appreciated the large garden/park surrounding the chateau and enjoy fresh air outside the appartment.
  : Some equipment would already deserve refurbishment.

  : Wonderful garden at the castle that was shared with the host. Castle set in a beautiful landscape.
  : Vera steep staircase just outside the bathroom; potential risk for falling, esp. at night

  : For the kids it was a fun experience being in a chteau, there was access to the garden, a large kitchen with good size dinner table. All the equipment you need. Plenty of tourist info and tips to figure out what to do. Parking next to the door and decent size living space to relax with 5 people. It's an old building so expect some small imperfections. The apartment is not luxurious but very functional. We had a good time here!
  : Maybe it is time to fix a few of those deep pits on the cobble stone parking :)

  : The location was very nice and quiet. At the moment we arrived the owner came right away and showed us around. Our children had all the room to play outside , as could our dog

  : The location was great - Private and remote, but very close to Dinant, Yvoir etc and close enough to drive to the beautiful Semois valley for a hike on our last day. Beautiful area and we were particularly lucky that the sun was shining.
  : The single beds were a bit uncomfortable and dusty for adults, but I still slept well anyway. The house is very spacious with a lovely view of the gardens which was nice.

  : The location is lovely, small quiet village with typical blue stone houses, well connected with the highway and the rest of the area. We stayed over Christmas and it was very nice to find a Christmas tree and some decorations in the house. Also the private parking space is very practical.
  : The house is very small and has only one tiny bathroom. The entire place seems in dire need of work/renovation, we went in the winter and did not use the outdoor spaces but I saw quite a few hasards out there (for children at least). Other then the overall lack of cleaning (my kids socks turned out black, found quite a bit of traces of dirt that should not have been there, the bedding instead was perfectly fine) I think it would be nice and thoughtful to leave at least some basic supplies for visitors to use (we found one and a half roll of toilet paper, and that was about it, would have appreciated 2 coffee pods for the first morning, a wee bit of sugar, a bar of soap, trash bags - along with instructions about how to separate the trash - and some basic cleaning supplies...)

  : The castle looks quite historical and beautiful and the hosts were very friendly.
  : The house is not very child friendly (for small children) since the stairs are very steep and the bathroom opens right onto the stairs. There is also a bit of a musky smell in some of the rooms (I'm sure it's fine for most people but I'm quite sensitive to smells so I noticed it).

  : We had a lovely New Year's Eve at Chateau de la Motte. Unlike what staying in a stately manor might suggest, the rooms are rather simple instead of luxurious. However, we had everything we needed for a nice stay. The rooms are in a side of the building that may have been used by servants in the past, not in the main house itself. We took a side trip to Ciney and the beautiful old town of Namur, Dinant is also only a few miles away.
  : Unfortunately, the chateau is somewhat aging, mainly the farm buildings of the estate are not in good condition. This does not detract from the quality of the stay, but it does make you realize how costly it is to maintain such an estate.
