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.

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.

Tout était parfait: le cadre , l’accueil, le calme. Je ferai juste une petite amélioration au niveau des doubles rideaux afin que la lumière du jour soit plus occultée au lever du jour, car les volets intérieurs ne sont pas totalement occultants.
