I had been driving for almost seven hours before I arrived, so I was a little exhausted. Luckily, the check in was perfect. A woman came to meet us as we drove up the immaculate drive (through spectacular gates). My French is terrible so she put me in touch with the owner via her phone. He then talked me through the gate code, where to go for an excellent dinner (Moroccan), and where to have breakfast in the morning (in the Chapel room next to the Chateau). The room was pleasant and clean and everything you could hope for. TV is small, but we didn't watch anything. Shower was fantastic--great pressure and very warm. Breakfast was perfect. It is hard to use the words romantic and practical in the same sentence but that is what this place is. It is a functional destination that is clean, cosy, romantic, and a real treat to have found.
