Amazing
A great hotel with amazing hosts! Pascal and Ivan are extremely passionate about what they do and this is shown in the quality of the hotel and the food being served. If available, try the Lamb Risotto, you will not be disappointed. Thanks for a great stay!

Lovely Room
The room was really nice. Plenty of space. Very nicely decorated. No lift but we managed to bring our cases up some steps to the first floor. Lovely view of lake from room. Evening meal was very nice but the breakfast was disappointing.

Lovely peaceful retreat
Wonderful place to stay, we had a beautiful room overlooking the lake. You can ride, fish, or just walk around the lake. Lovely, almost deserted pool. Tennis court likewise mostly unused, a little scruffy. Breakfast on the terrace. Supper a little expensive for our needs but restaurant packed with hotel guests and locals, delicious food, excellent wines. Would definitely encourage anyone to stay

beautiful location
Very beautifull location with a huge lake that you could walk around or just sit on the terrace and enjoy the tranquil view. A little far out in the sticks so you do need transport, but it was fine to drive back into Anguleme and surrounding areas. Lovely owners and staff who were very helpfull. Thanks to Pascale for showing me her horses and offering to organise a ride at the local mm stables pity we could not have stayed another night. Food was great we had evening meal a la carte type menu and a good breakfast. Brill selection of wines also available. Rooms were very clean and well appointed (i would have liked coffee facilty in room) pool was clean but a bit cold to use this week but sure it would be great in a week or 2 when the temperature rises. Plenty of quiet places to sit or sunbathe. This was the 2nd of 3 hotels from the Relais du Silence hotel chain we stayed in this wek and again a fab hotel

Beautiful hotel stunning location
After a long drive to Angouleme and without satnav we found it difficult to find the hotel, but were more than happy when we pulled up. The chateau was superb and the staff could not have been more helpful. Drinks on the terrace overlooking the lake followed by probably one of the best meals we have ever had made this an experience to remember. The room and bed were comfortable, all in all a wonderful stay which if we were ever in the region again, we would be more than happy to repeat.

Difficult to find but well worth the effort when you arrive. The staff could not be faulted nor could the food. Lovely setting by the lake, just wished we could have stayed longer.

Hôtel dans un cadre somptueux
L'hôtel est pratiquement entouré d'un lac de 80 hectares dont on peut faire le tour. La chambre dans laquelle j'étais était très spacieuse (24 m2) avoir baignoire et douche et un très grand lit que j'ai jugé très confortable. Il manque une TV un peu plus grande vue la taille de la chambre et des volets en mauvais état. Le personnel est très accueillant et serviable. Avant de partir, on nous donne même un petite bouteille d'eau.

Matupplevelse utöver det vanliga
Avrundade resa till Frankrike utanför Dirac med två nätter på detta hotell. Service och bemötande var fantastiskt, läget är utmärkt OM man gillar naturupplevelser och lantliv. Allra bäst var restauranten, mycket hög nivå på allt, mat som dryck. Vissa rätter kanske väl fantasifulla men på det stora hela väldigt bra. Rekommenderas.

un relai du silence qui porte son nom a merveille
Nous sommes arrivés par une petite route dans un coin boisé , tout respirait le calme Nous sommes accueillis avec un grand sourire , en toute simplicité , la maîtresse des lieux nous indique de suite qu'elle nous a surclassés et a l'ouverture de la porte nous n'avons pas été déçus , une chambre immense avec tout le confort , salle de bain spacieuse et très romantique , un dressing indépendant , et un lit de 200X200 nous posons nos valises et profitons du reste de soleil pour faire le tour du lac a pied le repas du soir !!!!!! que du plaisir pour le palais , originalité diversité digne d'un grand chef une nuit sans aucun bruit , et au petit déjeuner en chambre un énorme plateau très complet
