Chateau du Landin

Firstly the chateau is a stunning building set in beautiful grounds. It could and should be wonderful. We left without staying the night. The pictures and the reality do not match up. We travelled with our 1 year old. He picked up broken glass, there were broken paving slabs, DIY vents had been made, the host ignored us on more than one occasion and continued speaking on the phone. Not worth the money at all.

When we arrived at the destination in the evening, we received the key from a person who did not speak a word of English. He tried to advise us using the translator app. When we got the keys to the apartment, we immediately realized that the apartment has a bad indoor air problem (mold, etc.) One member of our party immediately started showing symptoms and we realized that we cannot risk our health and stay in the property. We contacted the person from whom we got the key and explained the situation. With the help of the translator application, he stated that there is nothing he can do about it. We announced that we now have to find new accommodation to which he shrugged his shoulders. Later apparently the owner of the property contacted us and asked why we hadn't gone to their other property??? No one offered us this option when we were there. How could we have known that ourselves? The host refused to refund the money, so I recommend avoiding this place at all costs.

Fabulous one night stay on our way back to England. Natti was very welcoming and showed us all the amenities and things to do in the vicinity. The kids were so excited to spy on the wild rabbits, chicken, peacocks, horses and Yoyo the pig! The view was breathtaking, the interiors grand and clean. We loved our room full of light, with a giant bath that was a hit with the kids + spacious shower cubicle for us. We had a lovely meal at the hotel, we chose our dishes when we arrived at 6pm and could eat at 7.30pm outside admiring a fab sunset with our kids running around. Slept so well with a plethora of comfy cushions. Fab finish with the generous breakfast, the croissants were a delight. Thank you and would love to be back for longer next time to take advantage of bikes, jacuzzi and explore some more.

Location amazing, inside of the hotel very grand and interesting, staff exceptional, Bed so comfortable. Evening menu limited but so good. Wine list limited but really good wine as. Breakfast amazing - beautifully cooked with a variety of quality ingredients Lovely grounds. A great place to relax, and exceptional value eating in the hotel

Friendly staff, delicious breakfast , beautiful views from the back of the chateau , daily room service . Property a little run down . Overall happy with our stay .

The chateau building is extremely beautiful, to the rear it overlooks the River Seine which is a fantastic. There is no reception desk, just a handbell on a table, and we were greeted by one of the housekeepers, who showed us to our room and the gym with a jacuzzi which was for our exclusive use. Then she came back and apologised as we were booked into the Sable Room which apparently was better than the original room we were taken to. I would loosely describe the interior of the chateau as ‘shabby chic’ as the paintwork was very chipped, most of the furniture was cheap and wobbly (none of those lovely old period French beds and furniture found in French brocantes). The bathrooms were rather dated but not original and would again have been lovely with a period freestanding bath etc. but all the rooms were very clean. There were hardly any other guests in the chateau but some people were housed in nearby gites. A few days before our visit we were sent a dinner menu so we had emailed in advance to book a table for our first evening. The staff didn’t speak English and when I reminded them we had booked dinner I was told the chef was tired and wouldn’t be providing dinner that night! This was strange but she said he would cook dinner the next night. So we drove through 3 small towns before we found anywhere to eat - it was a pizza takeaway with a few tables! So the next night we came down for dinner, rang the bell in the hallway and waited for someone to come, kept ringing the bell and eventually the woman who we think is the owner appeared talking loudly on her phone, walking around, ignoring us completely and wandered off again, it felt like a scene from Fawlty Towers. We did eventually get hold of an housekeeper and had our dinner about 2 hours after our 7pm arrangement and it was very good food. The two breakfasts we had were also nice. So although some aspects were disappointing, overall it was lovely to stay in this beautiful chateau for a couple of nights.,
