We stopped off for a night in May and vowed we would return as soon as we could. This time we stayed two nights and again everything was perfect. We booked over the internet at the last minute not realising that the restaurant would be closed the first night. They tried to contact us to warn us but my mobile... More

The Domaine Du Chatelard was a surprise for us. We chose it because of its closeness to Angouleme and had expected a nice hotel but not one as picturesque and as special as this. Having arrived, we could recall no mention on the website of the large lake it sits next to and eating an excellent dinner on the terrace... More

Our room overlooked the terrace and private lake and the... More

We really enjoyed our stay. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who were unfailingly kind and courteous. Breakfast was excellent. The standard of cooking at dinner was high with a quality wine list - they directed us to their wine merchant in Angouleme - highly recommended! However, it's a small Carte, so if you are staying for several... More
