  : A superb setting not far from the main highway . Beautiful grounds to explore or just relax in . Welcoming host and his niece who were very accommodating.
  : Wi-Fi could have been better but a large house maybe a booster on the upper floor .

Disappointing

  : the pool is excellent, the castle is just a big house furnished with basic ikea furnitures. it is clean. the place is a seminar/ wedding venue, this is not a luxurious place.
  : the check in is very late (5pm) this means you just come there to sleep and cannot really have time to enjoy the facilities. generally, the property is not really what you would expect of a chteau , there are few original features, it is mostly ikea furnished, no wardrobe in our bedroom, no luxurious bathrooms ( a shower and toilet in 2sqm), the double beds are 140 wide, or toiletries, and no access to the salon on Covid grounds (although this must be the last stronghold of restrictions since no one, including the host wore a mask Covid did not apply either to the breakfast table as the jam (pots straight on the table) and bread were freely interchanged between guests, even before Covid I never deemed this practice acceptable on hygienic grounds hence why hotels and restaurants spend fortunes on small jam pots. least we knew that the jams and juice were coming from Lidl.I nearly forgot about the unwelcoming sets of rules going on throughout the property, firstly, ring instead of turning up to the reception, the host like to be warned that he has to deal with a client, secondly no food or drink in the rooms ??? really ??? a coffee/ tea facility was present at the end of the corridor, nowhere to sit, jus another Covid safety facility where you use the same every things as the other guests, plus really, the kitchen was frankly uninviting. then a fair warning to get dressed for going to the pool as the host has to show people round for wedding and would rather keep the place tidy ( on a bastille day after 5 pm, as if )great, so there is actually no changing facility near the pool, so, do you strip up directly near the pool? Yes! you do! after all you are on the property of the host, and not there to let yourself relax!finally, I was not impressed by the way the host addresses you. in French or English his attitude was a bit rude, perhaps not voluntarily, but after having stayed in over 500 hotels, I have never come across this type of attitude.

  : the bathroom was too old and for dinner we received a list of restaurants but they were all closed
