Chateau du Val Larbont

The property

Needs lots of work

The. Chateau and furnishings were gorgeous as was the park

It would have been better if there had been other guests. I felt a bit isolated on my own

French breakfast with delicious fresh croissants and bread with jams, honey, cheese, yoghourt in a beautiful room.

The host was a delight, our room was large and did offer coffee making and fridge facilities but no tv and our ‘suite’ had access to our ‘en-suite’ across a public hall so had to dress each time I had to use it which was a pain. It was exceptionally clean but offered no cooling facilities or window coverings in either the bedroom or bathroom which was a little disconcerting and no fans or air con, so was very, very uncomfortably hot for sleeping. I requested on booking, a ground floor room or suite because I have mobility issues yet had to navigate several steps to the main accommodation floor and a very full flight of stairs to get to the breakfast dining room. Breakfast was adequate if unexciting but the coffee was exceptional. All in all a beautiful setting for this hotel of faded elegance with quirky rooms.

An adjoined en-suite and blinds for bathroom windows would have been preferred and a little more offered for breakfast and not just sliced cheese or conserves
