We never stay in hotels with a rating below 8, and we stumbled upon this castle by chance, and it turned out to be one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in! For comparison, the previous night we spent at Les Sources de Caudalie 5*, which is three times more expensive, but it lacks the charm, hospitality, and history that this castle offers! I find it very strange to read negative reviews about this hotel. Yes, the floors creak in some places, but the castle is 500 years old! This only adds to the charm of the stay! The restaurant deserves a Michelin star or more. The staff is so wonderful. The breakfasts… they are amazing here! Pastries, all kinds of eggs, fresh juices, yogurts, cheeses, cold cuts, fruits, and the barista makes a very tasty cappuccino. The castle itself is incredibly beautiful. I would love to come back here again

Nothing

Very helpful staff, we were looked after so well. There was a slight glitch with the room, but we were offered a choice of other rooms. Very beautiful and enchanting place. Outstanding, refined dinner, just beware that the restaurant is closed on some days. Check before you book. Would be a shame to miss out on a very special meal which was an important part of the whole experience of this place.

We were.last at Chateau de Fere 20 years ago and it was great to.be back. Very relaxed atmosphere whilst being professional at.the same time. Lovely terrace views and restaurant. We also used the pool which has been added since our last visit. There is also a spa which we didn't use. The ruins in the grounds are enchanting. Great to be back.

Nothing all good.

It is situated in a picturesque setting with wonderful countryside views and adjacent to castle ruins. Our diner was absolutely fabulous!

It’s a beautiful chateau that is in need of some fine tuning, slight updating of its interns amenities

Very nice place, excellent food even if they lost their Michelin star since I was there last.

Meals and drinks are quite expensive and with limited choice.

Comfortable bedroom. Pleasant grounds for a relaxing walk. Good restaurant but limited selection and rather expensive wines. Friendly service.

Had to request a kettle to make tea in the room. Expected to have a room with a view of the old castle ruins however room view was pleasant enough. Quiet. Good-sized bathroom

We are a family of 5 (3 kids 6, 5 and 2) on way to alps and stopped off in the chateaux for 1 night on way down. After reading quite a few negative reviews, I was concerned about what the hotel would be like. I would agree with the comments that this isn’t a 5 star hotel, so don’t book if that’s what you want. It’s a really beautiful hotel and wonderful surrounding with the old castle nearby to walk around. It is quirky and a bit Shabby in places but that all adds to the charm of it. The kids loved the indoor spa pool. We really enjoyed the food and kids had amazing chicken and chips. Breakfast was vast and you could order any style coffees and eggs. The staff were really helpful and lovely with kids (Even when our daughter managed to knock over all the drinks and break glasses) The room in attic was huge with two bedrooms and living area. You have to walk up stairs but that’s expected with a historic building. Overall we had a lovely stay and would recommend and go back again.

This is not a 5 star hotel and is shabby in places and lacks attention to detail and high standard service

Beautiful location with a mix of faded grandeur and a real sense of history.

A little too far from the A26 for convenience.

3 extraordinary days passed at this chateau ! The team was wonderful, excellent food, magnificent wines and champagne ! We particularly loved the local champagne which was not expensive at all. We were a group along with a baby and they prepared everything for the little one (bed, high chair, food). Charming place overall with great sights, tranquility, green space everywhere and spectacular ruins of the old chateau.

Everything!! The manager (Phillip , the owner (Richard) and the staff are in a class way above the norm! The property is elegant and immaculate. The food, outrageously delicious. We’ve already rebooked. Highly recommended!

We loved everything!
