Great host! Really appreciate their hospitality and the place is from another time. They have done a nice job of updating the property situated on 8 acres. We stayed 2 nights.. I highly recommend it. Bed and breakfast style in an 1800 chateau. We truly enjoyed it.

True France- just beautiful!

A last minute booking on the way back from the south of France. What a wonderful place! We received a lovely warm welcome from Vince and a tour of the Chateau. It’s full of charm and history. Our family room was perfect, so spacious, clean and full of character. Cannot wait to go back! Only bits to mention- hand rail on the staircase is a little wobbly so be careful with little ones and the pool was colder than expected (too cold for me). Grounds were beautiful and breakfast was basic but nicely done. Maybe a little background music in the petit salon would add some extra charm. All staff were wonderful and we can’t wait to return! Thank you for a wonderful overnight stop :-)

One night staying in old castle. Little bit away from restaurants, but that's not a problem. Owner recommended good place to eat - it's was brilliant. Nice staying, good breakfast. Swimming pool was use only in summertime. Castle was amazing even wintertime, recommend if you want to see old style.
