Alencon Château des Ducs Hotels

"Pleasantly surprised. Good comfortable bed and functional room. The food was well above average."

"Lovely friendly staff, very clean, great breakfast."

"The staff and restaurant meals were excellent. Because we are elderly the only problem for us is that the toilet is very low."

"Our host at Au Fer à Cheval was Romain, a friendly and helpful man. He owns about 20 English thoroughbred race horses, as well as breeds them. His farm is in a beautiful location with lovely views. It was unfortunately cold and wet for the two nights that we were there, so we couldn't use the pool, and the roads were too slippery for him to take us out in his horse-drawn carriage, but we did see two of his retired racing mares with their foals. Our room was comfortable and clean, good shower, and a small kitchenette. It's a good idea to take your own tea, coffee and milk with you. Continental breakfast was good and delivered to our room at the time we requested. A good guide book in English of what to do in the area was left in our room, but perhaps the only disadvantage of the place is that it is quite isolated and a long way from any any restaurants. Overall, a lovely place, and we'd recommended it."

"Excellent house with a wide range of facilities. The pool was fabulous and the games room was a real bonus. The hosts were very helpful we would highly recommend this property for a short break or a longer relaxing holiday"

"Impressive, attractive old estate, fair price. Beautiful pool and grounds. Good WiFi despite the sprawling house footprint. A few very fancy rooms. Pretty views from every bedroom. Very responsive hostess."

"What a wonderful holiday we had at this location, i would highly recommended staying here.The owners were very friendly and helpful.The house was just amazing and the huge indoor pool and jacuzzi were absolutely perfect, we spent most of our days in there.We will definitely be returning here!"

"A lovely week with 3 generations together enjoying this beautiful rural spot. The huge garden was a delight, with bbq, play area and games equipment for all ages, and the heated pool was a great attraction. Pretty village with good shops a short drive away and plenty of day trips within 20 min drive.The old farmhouse house is very comfortable and characterful but beware steep steps and staircases if bringing very small children. Pool has an alarm but is not fenced. "

"We stayed one night it was very clean it has a swimming pool you can use. Fred the owner was very friendly and helpful it was good for the dog as it has a lot of land and with Fred's dog they played well together quite happily and safe. Highly recommend "
