Chateau Ladausse

We stay here as a group of 9 prior to our daughters wedding. The host Eric-pick us up from the airport included in the price and we was welcomed to this lovely spacious chateaux. The meal on the first day by Diane was lovely however over priced- 3 courses for €45.00 as it did not include any alcohol was expensive. We found that when we bought food in such as bread, cheese and wine from the local shop for the group for the evening to the chateaux because they only offered bed and breakfast. The storage of the fridge was scrutinised by both Diane and Eric in turn as they both sneakingly inspected what we had bought from the local supermarket. They tried to charge corkage because they wanted us to buy their over priced wine. Eric mentioned a figure of €100 euros for two opened bottles of wine and beer - this however came to a amicable conclusion and we ended up paying €50 for two bottles of wine and 4 bottles of beers. It appear absurd that each time we went to the fridge or mate our own snacks we were being observed.. Breakfast consist of one caraf of water, one croissant each, a dap of jam and a piece of fruit. Coffee was provided but it was an effort to ask for a refill. On one occasion we gave a croissant to the baby of the group to find later, that one adult who went on a run before breakfast had to do without because they said they didn’t have any more croissants. I write this with a heavy heart, but I do not recommend this place at all. Both Eric and Diane seemed to be in the business to squeeze as much money out of you as they could. We was lucky that we had a car to go to the supermarket otherwise we would have been sitting ducks and reliant on their expensive provisions. Whilst we were there we felt as though they were doing us a favour to be there, not that we were paying guests. This is a shame because friends have told me that the other chateauxs they had stayed in were both welcoming friendly and plentiful, typical French. Sadly , We seemed to have drawn the short straw booking this place. Walla! Eric there is plenty of room for improvement.

It was a ferrytale location, so unbelievably beautifull. Diane and Eric are very friendly and helpfull. It reallt felt like visiting friends. Also the beds and the spacious rooms were a big plus. I would highly recomend this hotel
