Château le Clos de la Ribaudière

Hotel in good conditions and very lovely people . Nice for a week to rest. Good restaurant and excellent wine choice.

Lovely old Chateau with great staff and a fabulous restaurant. Just a one night stay for us as part of a 'grand tour'. Set in a wonderful village on the banks of the river with an old mill with lots of history. Loved it.

Before booking this hotel, read the reviews. Our bad experience isn't a one off. We were looking forward to our stay in a Château and a gormet dinner. The reality was a window less room, with tired decor, and no table in the restaurant. The staff didn't seem bothered we were bitterly disappointed. So, after a 7 hour drive to get to this isolated Château, we had to get back in the car and went looking for somewhere to eat. So, that was our experience. It's your call.

We stayed here for one night on a road trip back to the UK. We stayed in a "castle room", and although we very much enjoyed our stay, we would say that the rooms are somewhat dated and in need of a bit of love. However, that did not bother us as it was clean and comfortable. I imagine that the rooms in the modern extension may be quite different. Our check-in experience was very friendly and we were taken to our room. We were out of season, so the cost seemed very fair. We had dinner in the restaurant and thought it was fantastic! For this reason alone, we will definitely be going back.

The staff were very friendly checking us in. Apart from the front desk, most people were not too comfortable speaking English but everything were conveyed quite well. The food in the restaurant was also quite good. The rooms were nice and comfortable although they didn’t have an iron in there but I think the higher grade rooms does have this. The scenery around the buildings are very beautiful with the river right next to it.

What a beautiful location, stayed in the chateau in an attic room. Some low beams at 6’3 not an issue. Room was lovely, not a great view from the window but extremely comfortable, good A/C which was required as temperatures in 30’s. Used the outdoor pool which was lovely as the temperatures very hot for September, the outdoor seating is very pleasant had a couple of drinks and the service was friendly and helpful. Had a walk around the spa which looked to have everything you would want. We booked a table for our evening meal which was on the terrace, opted to have set menu of four courses however you receive several tasters before your meal so ends up seven courses. We ate everything as the food was exceptional. Had a couple of bottles of wine at €20 a bottle which I thought was great value as a pint was €9. Breakfast in the morning was not included but we opted to pay and again the choice was excellent value. From the minute we arrived till we left the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful, can highly recommend.

We going the food was really over priced and the quality was not in line with the price.

The hotel is very nice, service is good and the food is very good as well. We stayed various times in this hotel. Mostly, very good experience, this was not the case now. About 22.30 our toilet stopped flushing. After asking at the reception, our room was changed. Early morning tried to make a coffee, but coffee machine was not working. After reporting this to the reception, we got a "discount on the breakfast" of 9 euro... As i mentioned to the receptionist, i do not thinks those 9 euro represent a compensation to the problems we had. In a similar 4* hotel, we would probably be offered at least the full value of the breakfast. I just leave it here for the hotel management to see why customers that value this place use their time to help them improving. A 4* hotel could do better.

Good value, comfortable and quiet hotel. Very good restaurant for breakfast and dinner with pleasant and attentive staff. Mixed business and family guests but quiet and well appointed room. Lovely garden and relaxing, outdoor swimming pool in a lovely quaint village.
