Château du Golf de la Freslonnière0

The Chateau retains much in its original state such as the creaky old stairs leading up to the second floor where we stayed that qualified it with a very authentic feel. The large room was very comfortable and was renovated in a fashion that did not detract from its history with fine views over the beautiful countryside. The breakfast was held in what could almost pass as a museum. Fresh croissants, pastry, and bread straight from the boulangerie. The staff who were very welcoming and attentive do not speak any English, but that gave us a good opportunity to practice our French. Note that the Chateau is sited 300 metres beyond the Golf club to which Google maps may direct you.

Completion of the booking was complicated by the repeated rejection of valid credit cards and finally had to be completed at extremely short notice by a bank transfer. Was advised by my bank that this was an issue with not updating the 2-step validation T&C's by the Golf club that handles the payments for the Chateau. Maybe there was another reason but certainly was not my credit cards and being threatened with cancellation of booking 72 hours before arrival unless an immediate payment was made is unpleasant, stressful, and unnecessary. Be aware that the toilet flushing system was not immediately obvious if you have never used such a toilet before and that it underperforms in its primary duty.

When you book a room in a chateau such as this, you are probably looking for something out of the ordinary. That's exactly what you will get! The breakfast and breakfast dining room is really amazing. The bedrooms are also very unique and original. The chateau has been in the family for many generations. Not sure how it all survived the French Revolution, but it did.

The floorboards are very ancient and squeaky and sometimes a bit uneven, but solid nevertheless.

If you want the full fat time travel experience this is the place for you. You really believe you are in a chateau in 1900. Brilliant. The owner was awesome. He said his English wasn’t great, but he was superb. Really sincere. Breakfast was amazing. Had a fun time.

The serene nature of the chateau...to be so close to Renne yet miles away. To be invited in to see nothing was a problem....lovely grounds with golf course. I feel I would go back tomorrow.

Nothing

Loved everything - the walks, the bedroom and bathroom and the delicious breakfast! Stunning château in a beautiful parc with charming owners and very helpful staff. Authentic and beautiful chateau owned by the current family for over a thousand years - the stuff dreams are made of!

Everything was fantastic!

Beautiful accommodation very close to major routes Rooms were gorgeous The shower in the bathroom was great All very clean Lovely setting

I loved how the rooms were decorated and how peaceful the grounds are for wandering. Great pool & herb garden.

Everything was great

excellent breakfast, great host. we were made to feel very welcome

Great views out over parkland. Bed was comfortable. Decent shower. Very good local restaurant nearby.

It's 800 years old and it shows. In need of substantial (and costly) renovation and modernisation. Dodgy-looking electrics abound and the building looks a fire hazard.
