Saint-Aulaye-Puymangou hotels from HK$457

"Absolutely fantastic experience. We would love to revisit. "

"Perfect location for visiting wineries. Authentic chateau "

"Mouse droppings in kitchen cupboard (no bottom shelf to unit). Cracked tiles, kitchen area shabby. Description did not meet expectations. Owners were helpful and pleasant: check in easy. Very rural location so expect to travel if you go out. Some hazards if travelling with young children. Stairs were very steep and step at top is higher that landing so step down. This could be a trip hazard. Decor knob missing from one of kitchen chairs so screw sticking out. "

"Such a lovely house We had a very chilled holiday Just what we needed "

"A very fully equipped country house with surrounding terraces and seating areas that can comfortably accommodate 10 people. The owner lives nearby and is not only very friendly but also very helpful when asked. In the bedrooms, with the number of 3 sockets per bedroom is a bit limited and three double beds are only 140 cm wide, where nowadays 160 cm is more or less the standard. As 5 couples, we really enjoyed our week and used more or less all the amenities such as the heated pool during the day and the wood-burning stove in the evening, and say a big thank you to the owner Tracey for all of that !!!"

"Ignore first brown door and go to next one to open access to Chateau. Breakfast is excellent and staff are very friendly. Rooms are spacious and quality of furnishings in chateau is outstanding "

"We had a great week here. The house is well-equipped, and the pool is great — perfect for a group holiday. We left with plenty of happy memories. The only downside has been what happened afterwards. Two weeks on, we’re still dealing with a waste disposal fine we believe is unfair, with very unclear communication from the host. During the stay, the only issue raised with us was fixed straight away, and nothing more was mentioned. It’s a shame, because instead of just remembering the holiday, we’ve ended up discussing this when we get together. The place itself is fantastic and we’d have rated the stay higher if not for the post-holiday dispute.(Traduction automatique)Nous avons passé une excellente semaine ici. La maison est bien équipée et la piscine est superbe — parfaite pour des vacances en groupe. Nous sommes repartis avec beaucoup de bons souvenirs.Le seul point négatif concerne ce qui s’est passé après notre séjour. Deux semaines plus tard, nous devons encore gérer une amende pour la gestion des déchets que nous estimons injuste, avec une communication très peu claire de la part de l’hôte. Pendant le séjour, le seul problème évoqué avec nous a été réglé immédiatement, et rien d’autre n’a été mentionné. C’est dommage, car au lieu de simplement nous souvenir des bons moments, nous avons fini par parler de cette affaire lorsque nous nous retrouvons.Le lieu en lui-même est fantastique, et nous aurions attribué une meilleure note sans ce litige après le séjour."

"A lovely break - the house was pretty much as described.The pool is great - the outside eating space is fantastic and there are 3 big fridges to keep everything cold. The living accommodation is great and it really is a lovely house. Tennis court is in good nick - but bring your own racquets and balls as the stuff there is not great.Thierry - who sorts out any issues was great and really responsive. A few small negatives - the oven is pretty useless and I see that previous reviews have mentioned this - a low cost solution that would make things easier for guests. Secondly - there are no restaurants within walking distance as in the description - but some good ones a short drive away. Finally - you have to pay to use the bikes in the photos - 20 euros a bike - just so you are aware these are not included. "

"We enjoyed a quite outstanding evening meal cooked by the owner. It was original and delicious. The hotel itself was quirky, albeit in a good way. Old fashioned and probably in need of a facelift; but as a taste of rural France, hard to beat. "
