We chose this spot as our final destination on a much-needed vacation in Loire and Dordogne. Paying on the high end for a two-person room, we were pretty sure we'd be pampered. The grounds were beautiful. The front desk service was gracious and friendly. (The woman at the front even helped us with one of our huge suitcases when the regular luggage assistants couldn't be found.) The room was spacious, nicely decorated, and comfortable with a couple of exceptions. The aging bathroom's shower drain backed up, unresponsive to the control knob...
But the real surprise was that nobody warned us the village would be celebrating independence day one night early, which meant that there was a massive sound system and stage positioned just behind the hotel, pumping window-vibrating bass until 2 in the morning. In fact, when we arrived, they only mentioned the "short fireworks display" that would be happening in the lawn out back. We were very tired and had hoped to have a peaceful, restful stay, which is why we'd chosen the place initially. I wish they would have sent us a heads up when we booked and allowed us to cancel. The noise was so loud that the room shook and my earplugs-plus-noise-canceling-headphones hardly muffled it. Usually, we'd just go with it and join the celebration but we'd been sleeping very little throughout our trip and were looking forward to the inn as a place to catch up on rest before flying back to the U.S.
The grounds are insanely beautiful. Food was great.
