Le Domaine de Beaulieu

We chose this Chateau for a 3 Night Stay. Our Suite was lovely - the Staff in Reception and the Bistro were extremely friendly, helpful and polite. Having stayed in Relais Chateau Hotels often we were disappointed that some of the toiletries were not replaced each day and with the Standard of cleanliness /housekeeping in certain areas. The beautiful room where the Bar is located should be named ‘The Spider Bar’! The tall Windows were covered in Spider Webs inside and out with Spiders hanging from them. There were several spiders along the floor and we had to ask one of the Waiters to get rid of them - he stamped on them in front of us - as the sun was shining through the windows you could see cobwebs and spiders underneath the chairs?This Bar needs a total clean from top to bottom. We appreciate this Hotel is in the Country , however, having walked past a room for 3 days on our way to the lift and seeing a probably dead spider outside on the door frame you would think House keeping would notice? The food in the Bistro was excellent however we were disappointed with the Gastronomy Meal - in other Relais Chateau Hotels the waiters are experienced in speaking English and can explain each dish and how it is cooked to the customer - and from what we saw during our stay you have a lot of English Clientele visiting you! Having to pay 35 Euros extra ?? for Breakfast and finding scrambled eggs which had been in the Hot Plate since probably 7am not Relais Chateau Standard!

Couldn’t fault our stay. Service friendly and efficient Room comfortable and the food in bistro excellent
