Nice not Luxury
impressive hotel in beautiful countryside, but not luxury and the bathrooms (and furnishings) are in need of updating. Example is shower head on flexible pipe half way up body on the wall in bath tub and no curtain or glass screen. Our room (12) was big and spacious and nice bed. Food in the hotel was very expensive (30-60 Euros for dinner per person), and breakfast at 15EU per person for a cold typical French bread and jam and cold meat)... very nice staff.

Château de la Côte is a fairytale
What a wonderful place Hotel Château de la Côte is, truly magical and fairytale. The food is an absolute must during your stay! The reception and service is fabulous from the Guillaume family. The pool is an oasis on a hot summers day. We stayed in room 23 which is the turret without a roof and gave us access to outside space - we’d always wanted to stay in a Château and in a turret and this did not disappoint.

A wonderful setting in an old chateau. However, our room was very worn out and could definitely need a renovation. The beds and pillows were ok, but the quilt was an awful old blanket with a simple sheet. Breakfast was fine and so was dinner.

Lots of potential, but somewhat run down and all meals/drinks priced to reflect no nearby restaurant alternatives. Nice to say that you’ve spent a single night in a chateau, and the location is glorious, but wouldn’t want to stay longer.

Beautiful setting, magnificent building! Cleanliness not great: dead bugs in the staircase for our whole stay of 3 nights. Bedding threadbare: my foot got stuck in the holes in the sheets. Furniture adequate but not luxurious. Bathroom equipped to fairly low standard: for instance shower above the bath but no shower curtain or screen so you had to crouch..... Firealarm went off at 1 am: no staff inside to guide us out. No staff outside to check us in and out. The door to reception was closed and locked. telephone calls to the hotel were routed to voicemail. The alarm stopped after 20 minutes or so. Eventually we trooped back inside after ¾ hour but didn't feel very safe. We knew one lady had impaired mobility but we didn't see her outside. Upon enquiry the next day we were told that the owner had checked the surroundings for signs of a fire then shut down the alarm - but none of the assembled guests outside saw him. Thank goodness there had not been a real fire!

It was a very neat experience to stay in a castle that was built in the 15th century! The bathroom had been remodeled in one of the tower rooms . There was plenty of heat to keep the rooms warm and their restaurant served delicious food! The owner, Oliviier, was very friendly and helpful. It was a good experience and the prices were reasonable.

Enchanting Chateau
As soon as we entered the Drive of the Chateau de La Cote we were taken back by its Medieval sight. Check in was swift and efficient. The Bedroom or what appears as a suite amazed us. It was very very spacious and light and airy. We even had a walk in dressing area. The Bathroom was a of an immense size. Our suite was immaculately clean and ever so inviting. The facilities were modern and yet the refurbishment kept most of the ancient features. The whole place was so clean with helpful staff willing to make your stay memorable. We had a really delicious dinner and the service was very attentive. We immensely enjoyed the experience and will definitely return whilst on our travel.

This is one of the *best* hotel experiences I've ever had. The chateau looks exactly like it does in photos: spectacular. The staff are wonderful and go out of their way to help with anything. The meals are all out of this world - try the beef fillet! - and local wines are exceptional. Room was great & had everything, including a view onto the green rolling hills. Cannot rate this place highly enough.

Beautiful place and location just lacking in some
Great scenery location. Staff friendly and helpful. However there were a few minor matters that were a little inconvenient such as no iron when asked at reception. No lemonade only a fizzy lemon drink which wasnt ideal with a spirit and could not buy wine by the glass only bottles which made me and my partner drive to a nearby town for a few drinks when we wanted to stay in the beautiful surroundings of the chateau.
