The Chateau was lovely. Beautifully decorated. And the owners were very friendly.would definitely stay there again

Ok this is a difficult review to write. Firstly, the Chateau itself is absolutely stunning. It has recently been renovated and the rooms, in particular the bathrooms are stunning. The grounds are lovely and the pool was just what we needed after a very long drive. The check-in time on our booking was 4.30pm but we ended up getting there an hourly early. Unfortunately the gates were locked and nobody would answer the bell until exactly 4.30pm. We spoke with some other guests who called and asked if they could use the pool while waiting (it was 95 degrees) but the answer was "non". OK fair enough, it's their house but it wasn't the best start. Then comes the difficult part of this review...the hosts. He is absolutely delightful, very friendly and smiley whereas she is quite the opposite. (There were 3 other couples staying and they all mentioned how curt/rude she had been.) Dinner wasn't available as we hadn't booked 48 hours in advance so we drove 10 mins to a nearby town and grabbed a take-away pizza which we ate in the beautiful gardens. The room (mid June) was very hot but we managed to get some sleep with the big windows open. Luckily it was windy so we didn't get bothered by bugs. Breakfast was nice although we did have to ask a couple of times for some essentials (Butter and milk) and we played rock, paper, scissors to see who would have to ask the owner for the same thing twice :) It's an absolutely stunning property but we won't return.
