Apaisant, accueillant et magnifique !

La beauté du château, la splendeur et la grandeur du parc, les chambres très belles et très confortables, l’accueil adorable de nos hôtes, la splendeur du petit déjeuner, entièrement fait maison, y compris les viennoiseries par la Cheffe Carole. Nous espérons revenir avec grand plaisir, un jour, déguster son dîner gastronomique et visiter le château et le parc avec Edouard.

Dominique Fr. avis Booking sept. 2025

Endroit magnifique

C'est un endroit magnifique et paisible que j'ai adoré. Voir le travail accompli par les propriétaires est très impressionnant et mérite d'être admiré. Les chambres sont fantastiques et très spacieuses, et la bibliothèque et la salle de billard sont un endroit agréable pour s'asseoir, lire un livre ou jouer avec les chiens. Le petit-déjeuner était délicieux et le menu spécial de 7 plats préparé par Carole était un vrai régal.

Absolutely amazing

Absolutely incredible! I simply don't have a single complaint. We only stayed one night. If you're on the fence about booking, do it. You won't regret it. Alice was wonderful and very attentive.

Beautifully restored

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this house. It is a 17th-century château, beautifully restored by the owners to remain faithful to the spirit of the period. Everything has been tastefully done to recreate the atmosphere of yesteryear, while offering modern comforts. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and you feel right at home. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Really amazing

I used to come here often when I was a child and teenager, and it's truly incredible. Seeing these new photos and videos, I must say that the new owner has done an amazing job.
If I'm ever in the area, I'd love to go back!

Absolute calm

An exceptional weekend in a bed and breakfast. The food is delicious and the decor is in perfect harmony with the surroundings. Absolute peace and quiet, ideal for a relaxing weekend.

Robin A,

A dream come true

A bed and breakfast? No! A dream come true: you are transported back in time. The remarkable décor and tasteful furnishings transport you to the 17th century. You expect to hear the sound of a carriage, the neighing of horses, the barking of dogs waiting to take you on a tour of the wonderful grounds surrounding the magnificent castle. The table is in keeping with the setting. Once you've experienced it, you'll want to come back. An unforgettable night or weekend will leave you longing to return.

An excellent stay

We had an excellent stay at Édouard and Alice's castle. You can tell that they love having guests and that they don't do things by halves, whether it's cleanliness, meals, the surroundings or quantity. I highly recommend it if you want to immerse yourself in a castle and enjoy royal tranquillity.
