Château du Colombier

Fabulous from start to end.

When we arrived at this hotel after three hours' travel from Paris on the TGV, the place was empty, dark and there were no cars around. My husband got down to go to the front desk and the hotel door was LOCKED and we could not see anyone there. We kept knocking and calling for about ten minutes and no one answered. Then we heard a very large dog barking, we got scared and left. I told Hotels.com and then someone from the hotel said that she was there, that she saw us and that she thinks we saw her. If we had, we would have turned back. we had nowhere to stay that night and had to go into town to look for another hotel. The hotel refuses to return my money, I have never had such a BAD EXPERIENCE in my life. To arrive at night to a hotel out in the boonies, in a very dark and lonely place, to find it locked and empty and then have a huge dog barking like crazy at us. I insist that this person from the hotel, Carole, return our payment., as any serious and honest business person would.

Gorgeous chateau very close to town but feels like you're out in the country. Tricky to find at night the first time, but well worth the effort. We arrived after a long day traveling and sight seeing, around 8pm, and hadn't yet had dinner. We were delighted to find they have their own restaurant. Our delight was discovering sensational food with artistic presentation. It was a fine dining experience right in the chateau! On site management is personal and helpful and they speak English. Highly recommend!

Courteous and helpful staff, picturesque and historic building and grounds, lovely and comfortable room.

The hotel is located only 10 min drive from St Malo that we were visiting. It was very close and convenient and we were able to go back to the hotel to refresh before going back out for dinner. The hotel itself is a beautiful castle on a beautiful property. It has all the modern amenities you would need but with that life in a castle vibe. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful. Breakfast buffet had some home-made traditional local pastries along with your choice of eggs, cheese, meat: great assortment! It was a fantastic romantic gateway. Would definitely recommend and go back!
