Château Puygrenier

De gastheer en gastvrouw waren heel vriendelijk en zorgden dat we niks te kort kwamen, wij hebben zelden zulke fijne eigenaren ontmoet. Het ontbijt was uitgebreid, vers en goed. We hebben elke avond meegegeten, ook dat was erg goed. De kamer was netjes en schoon. De locatie van het chateau was prachtig, erg rustig met een mooie tuin en dicht bij village st. Emilion. Onze hond was zeer welkom.

Extrem nette Eigentümer. Das zimmer war sehr schön und geräumig. Grosses grundstück und man kann zum Pferd und den 4 ziegen gehen.

Alles war super.

Vastes chambres. Disponibilité des propriétaires.

The location is perfect to explore the Dordogne region. Our room was clean and very spacious. We had plenty of storage. Breakfast was as expected; bread, pastries, jam, cereal, coffee and juice.

We pre-booked an evening meal for our first night, as we had a long drive that day. But when we arrived at Chateau Puygrenier we were told that the meal was cancelled due to the kitchen being... too hot! This was hugely disappointing after arriving tired and hungry with 2 small children. We had to make a 1-hour round trip looking for dinner in a rural part of France that we did not know. This casual attitude towards guests was a recurring feature of our stay. The Château does have good potential but is in need of some serious attention. Simple things like watering the plants out front, maintaining weeds and replacing broken sun beds by the pool and breakfast chairs would help. The breakfast is simple, but acceptable, and taken outside. But the cushions on the plastic garden chairs are not taken in at night so they were sodden each morning. For light sleepers, it is important to note that the walls are quite thin so we could hear noise around the chateau from our room. However, this is to be expected in an old building. Overall, the whole experience felt very casual and amateur rather than a professionally run guesthouse. Being greeted by the owners walking around in their bare feet when we returned from dinner on the first evening, reminded me of backpacking and staying in a hostel.
