This was our third visit; we stayed here twice in our recent French road trip, lured back after an exceptional two day break last summer. The château is stunning, staff are pleasant and welcoming. Our rooms were thoughtfully furnished, cool and comfortable. On our visit last year and our first this summer, the weather was good enough to enjoy a glass of champagne whilst overlooking the moat. Last weekend was very autumnal so we ventured into the very comfortable salon where there are books to borrow, games to play and plenty of plush seating in which to relax. It made us plan a potential winter trip, imagining drinks in front of the fire. We enjoyed the two night gastronomie break and very much enjoyed all our meals. My only slight criticism here is that the menus only change seasonally; were we staying for more than two nights, the choice would be very limited. We had the same menu on both visits this summer despite them being almost three weeks apart. Next time , if we stay again on our way south and again north, we would have one meal in the bistro at the end of the drive, just for the sake of variety. Staff at the restaurant are universally excellent and took the time to indulge us speaking our rather rusty French. I would completely recommend asking the sommelier for the flight of wines to match each course - it is always superb. Breakfast is a leisurely affair with everything you could need and great coffee. Again, staff are warm and welcoming - with a special mention to the lovely lady in breakfast who is always so friendly. Writing this, I just wish that I was back there now!
