Chambres d'Hôtes Chateau de la Borie Saulnier

Our initial impression on arrival was less than positive but once we met "Madame" and were shown to our room, we were hooked.This is not a corporate rabbit hutch, it is something totally unique. There is not a right-angle in the place. The floors slope. It is superb. We couldn't have found our host more charming or helpful and we are just ordinary people. The restoration of the building is a work in progress and the owners need us punters to help pay for it. We stayed in the Blue room which was vast and the bathroom was one of the best equipped I have ever used.
Think shabby chic rather than "Hiltonesque" bland.

Since we have discovered le Chateau de La Borie Saulnier in 2005, we have been returning every year for a visit. The castle is owned and conducted by the most pleasant couple Claude and Michel Duseau. They offer loving furnished spotlessly clean rooms in a majestic Chateau filled with memorable furnishing of yesteryear times. A big pool and and a huge park let you chillout in a minute. But the pick of the bunch are Claude and Michel. Friendly and discreet, they let you live in the Chateau like you are the owner of it. It´s hard to leave this place.

We stayed three nights at the Chateau Borie using it as a base for visiting the Perigord Vert and could not have been happier with our decision.

First off, the location is ideal - it's in the countryside about 10 minute outside of the town of Brantome and in a huge private park (it's a chateau, afterall) which insures as calm and peaceful a night's sleep as you will ever find.  Note, however, that this is not a place to stay without a car !

The grounds are lovely, though visiting in October meant we couldn't take advantage of the pool.  

We were particularly pleased with our room, which was an enormous two room suite with very high ceilings (befitting a chateau) and decorated with lovely furnishings that made us happy to come back and rest after a day's sightseeing in the beautiful surrounding area.  

Breakfasts were continental  - done to a high standard.  Best of the three places we stayed in the Perigord.

And above all, I'd be remiss not to mention the owners, M. and Mme. Duseau, who could not have been more charming.  They went out of their way to make us feel welcome  - offering lots of advice on places to visit and restaurants, for example, while remaining, at the same time, discreet.

All in all, we were very happy with our stay and can recommend the Chateau Borie highly.

Stayed 3 nights in this Very nice place. Not the most beautiful chateau, a few taste mistakes, but the owners made us really feel at home and we very much enjoyed the chateau indoor, the pool and surroundings. Really pleasant for family stay. 

We booked two rooms for late October as Chateau de La Borie offered great value for money compared with staying centrally in Brantome, yet it is only 10 mins (max) drive away. 

The welcome was warm and the explanation of the facilities, the chateau and the surrounding area was excellent. 

The chateau itself is, as an earlier reviewer mentioned, authentic and you feel like you are staying with the family in their ancestral home rather than a hotel. 

Yes, it is a little rough around the edges and there are some quirky aspects to staying there, but this is a 14th century property and for those expecting a spa, drench showers, bathrobe & slippers this is probably not for you. 

The chateau, and the rooms, are furnished with antique furniture, books and family air looms and you leave with the feeling that you have stepped back some years in history and had a glimpse of what life would have been like in centuries past. 

Breakfast was typically French - home made preserves, croissants, etc. Could have been enhanced with some fresh fruit, yogurts, etc. but for 79 € for two (breakfast included) value for money was excellent. 

Would be happy to recommend for those looking for a place to stay in the area who are in search of authenticity.
