The owner was very hospitable and the included breakfast was good.  Plenty of refills should you require them and some locally resourced produce. However the Chateau is in need of a little updating. For example the blankets on the bed were  rather old and of an inadequate size to fit the bed.
The consequences of this was that one or other of us was slightly cold in mid October when fighting over a small cover. With a little update it would be a fabulous place to stay especially for those who are deep into architecture and history.

Lovely Chateau and very friendly owner.

Very warm welcome but the place is a bit dated. We stayed in a family room with a very noisy bathroom door. The room was big but very dated with mismatched bed linen, old looking towels and no shower gel. Tap dripped all night. Breakfast was basic, we would have liked more choice. The ladies were lovely but overall a bit disappointing as the place looks a bit tired.

Warm welcome but a bit dated!

What a wonderfully French-immersed experience. Madame doesn't speak English. They only accept cash as payment. Breakfast is bread and croissant with delicious home made jam and very strong coffee. Served at any time to suit. Huge family rooms with comfy beds. WIFI a bit dodgy as was hot water. Alencon centre a good 45 minute walk away.
A very warm welcome and would definitely go again ..... once I've brushed up on my French.

France at its best

After having driven 420 miles, we were pleased to arrive.  Madame made us so welcome to her beautiful chateau. The main building is from 1850, the rear building even older.  The furniture is of the same period, with some particularly beautiful pieces.  Madame gave us a tour around the chateau giving lots  of information. It is not a classic 4 star hotel, the plumbing and bathrooms are a little dated, and the mattress was possibly ready to be replaced, but surely this is more than compensated for by being in a genuine chateau.  The breakfast was lovely, croissant, breads,  good coffee and excellent jam made by the hotelier's mother.  If you prefer boring and reliable, go elsewhere, if you want atmospheric, quirky and different come here. I very much hope to return. 

A great welcome

This hotel was hard to find from the map and directions given, once we found it we followed the signs to the car park reception and there was no door to be found, it was all closed up! Not a good start.

We drove back round the front and Madame came out and gave us a warm welcome, but thank goodness we speak a little French as she speaks no English!

We were shown to a vey large room, which was very shabby chic, but on the way up the stairs my sensitive young son got creeped out by the Chucky type dolls on display in the hallway and was soon crying saying he couldn't stay there!

The beds were old and lumpy, a mish mash of bedding and old fashioned blankets, and a little musty smelling, which was off putting. Suffice to say I did not sleep well.

Breakfast was bread, croissants and homemade preserves, with orange juice and a choice of tea, coffee or hot chocolate for the children. It was lovely but more choice would have been appreciated, especially as I don't normally eat wheat!

I can't fault the warmth and friendliness of the hosts, but all things considered I would have preferred to sleep in an anonymous modern hotel. Admittedly however the experience is one I won't forget in a hurry, and perhaps added to our holiday rather than detracted from it.

If you are looking for a very 'French' experience then stay here

While the property is in need of rejuvenating, I would not trade that night for anything.  In its prime, the estate was surely amazing.  The beds now are old, linens mismatched, old lamps without shades, unevenly hung window coverings ...you get what I mean. The family was welcoming and conversational.  Breakfast was made from scratch and just what a French breakfast should be.  I enjoyed the absolute Best best coffee that morning.  A real treat.
