  Precioso, pero en medio de la nada

  Un verdadero castillo en el medio de la nada. Muy bonito, la habitación amplísima, con terraza, un baño enorme y muy agradable. Decorada extraña para lo que te esperas, pero con mucho gusto. Un lugar muy muy tranquilo. El restaurante muy bueno, y el desayuno bastante bien. Estuvimos en agosto de 2011

  Segundas veces no siempre son buenas

  Repetimos este año el Chateau porque el año pasado nos faltó más tiempo para disfrutarlo. Lamentablemente la experiencia no fue tan grata como esperamos, el servicio y atención estuvieron a la misma altura, pero la gestión fue peor. En el desayuno la fruta estaba reblandecida, como si llevase demasiados dias en la cesta. Pedimos cambiarla por fruta fresca, pero nos dijeron que no habia y dejaron la cesta, con las moscas en el suelo. Seguramente la raíz del problema es que la gestión del hotel es mala ya que el personal cambia cada 3 meses, como si sólo contratasen jóvenes becarios. Con muy buena intención, pero con muchas limitaciones. Teniamos una invitación a una copa de champagne por haber repetido estancia, pero al recordarle al recepcionista, no sabia de que le estaba hablando, inclusive después de mostrarle el email de invitación. Eso si, el entorno magnífico, muy recomendable coger las bicicletas del hotel e ir por la senda que bordea el río. Olvidense de cenar en el restaurante que tienen!!, en 2013 era excelente y este año han mantenido precios y reducido a más de la mitad las raciones. Mucho mejor ir a la ciudad a cenar.

  Don't Stay Here!

  We made a reservation to stay 5 nights at this hotel in January. In April we received an email from Hotels.com telling us that our reservation had been modified and we needed to contact the Hotel to resolve the issue. We called and emailed multiple times, but never received a response. After Hotels.com checked, we were told our reservation was fine. The night before we were to check in we received an email from the hotel while we were still in Paris saying we could only stay 3 nights at the hotel. We could not stay the five nights we had reserved and prepaid for. We made another reservation for two nights, based on this email. But when we checked in the next day, we were told we could stay 5 nights. When we said we had received an email the night before saying we could only stay 3 nights and we had made a nonrefundable reservation at another hotel, we were told we'd be made whole before we left. After checking with the hotel staff multiple times over the next days, they never refunded us the 180 euros we lost on the other hotel. Since returning home, they refuse to answer emails. Very unresponsive and incompetent. I had to point out my name to the owner in his reservation book when we were checking in. This is unrelated to the cold drafty rooms with no wifi or TV. It's now been over a month since we were promised a refund and we're still waiting...

  Atmosphere, Atmosphere, Atmosphere!

  My room, number 8, all the way at the top of the winding stairway and behind a sort of anteroom was a medieval treat. The bed was comfortable and I loved the view from my window. I am a romantic at heart and appreciate ambiance more than modernity. The old timberwork gave the room the feel of many centuries ago while the bathroom provided comforts they would have lacked. The manager was gracious, and while he spoke no English and my French is hit-and-miss, he took care of our needs. Before we left we showed him the picture of the people in our copy of the novel Chateau of Secrets, which was set there, and explained that one of our group was from a family named Agnew, from that region before the Norman Conquest, and he offered to show us the old kitchen and the chapel, very interesting. Breakfast was as good as any that we had during our stay in France. Boiled eggs, cheeses, sliced ham, bread and butter, croissants, pastries, fruits, and also coffee and hot chocolate (upon request the night before) all served with typically great French hospitality. Things to know: 1. 6pm check-in means you check in at 6pm. We tried to leave our things off when we arrived early in the afternoon and before we went to Normandy. 2. If you're there on the weekend, the restaurant will probably be booked up. The manager called to make us a reservation, but it was too late. In Agneaux, all the restaurants except one that was not to the taste of one of our group were booked up that evening. A very kind young Frenchman we asked on the street said there should be openings in St. Lo and led us to a very nice Brasserie, saying he was going that way anyway. 3. Try to learn a little French before you go. I had forgotten all I had learned in high school (1961-63) and decided to use Babbel for a few months before the trip. It came in handy in many places and made my enjoyment of the trip much deeper. Yes, many French people know basic English, and some are quite good, but it's helpful to have a link to those who want to be gracious to you but who know no English. Why should they, after all? They live in France. Bon voyage!

  Chateau with a great past

  If you look for comfort and modern equipments you shold probably book your Hotel somewhere else. There is dust, dead flies and wifi which dont work well as other guests has described. A stay here will also be a challenge for disabled people. The stairs in the Tower house are narrow and the ceiling height is very low. But this Chateau has also a charm you dont find many other places and has a great history which takes you back in time. Take a look at the surroundings, and you find that the buildings belong together and has been connected with a fence/wall that protected the area. The Chateau was a noble residence until 1970 when the last Marquess de Sainte-Marie passed away. For information about the history of the chateau please note that the original name is Château de Sainte-Marie. The nearby restaurant La Ferme du Château, is in walking distance and an excellent choice. You should do booking of a table in advance since the restaurant has room for a limited number of guests.
