We were recommended the Chateau by some friends of ours, who had stayed on their way to the UK. Set in a small village it is an attractive proposition. Our room was large with an equally large bathroom. Most of the interior had been refurbished some 25 years ago, and whilst everything was there you would expect from a 300+ euro per night location, it did feel a little contrived and a little dated. However, everything worked and we used everything we could.||We ate at the highly rated restaurant early, as we were travelling with more to come. We both opted for the full 7 course taster menu, which was very good indeed. Having said that we felt the 3 additional courses up front were a little over the top and nearly prevented us getting through the entire experience,||Breakfast was exceptional, with everything one could imagine and more. Hosted by a delightfully friendly waitress whose happiness exuded from her like the sunshine.||Overall it was a positive experience. We did not use the spa or the pools as it was pretty cold. ||Good|Location, restaurant, facilities, attentiveness of the staff.||Not so good|The bedroom could benefit from a quality refurb, with more thought to the current day traveller (charging points accessible next to the bed etc.) It felt a bit 1980s peak moment and originally converted on a tight budget.||The green faux grass around the spa.||The pond areas at the front were in need of more water and looked rather sad.||The cups in the bedroom did not match the saucers!! ||The bikes we requested were not available which was a disappointment. Turns out they were being fixed and not being used by other guests.||Both the hotel and restaurant could do with some real art. Both were full of chickens on sticks and items designed to fill space than sooth the soul.
