The Chateau Colbert has been extensively restored over the past 20 years or so to a very high standard. This has obviously been a labour of love for the present owners. The rooms are very comfortable and the views over the river and forests were outstanding. The food and service were exceptional and the dining room was a wonderful place to eat. They have the largest Japanese garden in Europe which we definitely return to see. The Chateau is highly recommended.

Disappointing.
We were somewhat disappointed by our stay. Because we had opted for one of the cheapest rooms as we were only staying one night, and didn't want the rather rich menu on offer in the restaurant we didn't see any of the glamour of the chateau until the following morning when we asked if we could look at the public rooms. Our bedroom was basic and reached via a very shabby hallway which really needs a face-lift. Breakfast, which was disappointing for the level of accommodation, was served in the most unprepossessing space with plastic doilies and sugar packed in paper tubes. Not quite the attention to detail that you would expect for the price. However, the gardens are magnificent and well worth a visit in their own right. The chateau is also next door to the most wonderful Japanese garden, again well worth the visit. We did ask if we could view the dining rooms which were magnificent with some beautiful paintings. It seems that the chateau majors on its restaurant (which was virtually full on a Thursday evening despite the entrees costing about €20) but is unable to address the shabby nature of many areas of the hotel. All in all, rather disappointing.

Characterful Chateau
A beautiful Chateau with lovely rooms if you book a Prestige room on the first floor. They are spacious and characterful. The chateau itself is delightful and even though it is on a main road, once on the rear terrace or in the hotel itself you hear nothing. Food in the restaurant is excellent but the service needs sorting as it is slow and at times, ungracious. I would have no hesitation in returning to Chateau Colbert, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and there is a little bar across the road from the Chateau which is very welcome after a long drive! Recommended.

Lovely chateau stay
The chateau was unbelievable. We had a really interesting room with a loft where our two children slept in single beds and a view out the front onto the grounds. We slept really well, except for some noisy neighbors, which is not too surprising considering the age of the building. We often don't go for the more expensive breakfasts while traveling, but theirs was fantastic with fresh eggs and breads and the usual cereals and such, and the dining area was lovely as well. We were staying close to Puy de Fou, which was still another 20+ mins drive. The local area was quiet, and I only gave a neutral ranking for that because not much was open on the weekend, and we needed to go to another kebab shop to find an affordable dinner option for four. But, overall, a wonderful visit. I would highly recommend it.

Château stay
Château Colbert is a beautiful hotel in a magnificent setting and has been well restored and in sympathy with it’s history. Our rooms overlooked the Oriental Gardens and the view was breathtaking. The rooms were clean and comfortable with a lovely bathroom and everything you could wish for your stay. I would recommend this hotel and gladly stay here again. The only dissappointment was dinner. Whilst the dining room is magnificent the food was not as good as when we have previously eaten there.

Great experience in a wonderful chateau!
The Chateau Colbert and its surroundings are really magnificent! The stairway and the living/reception rooms are truly grandiose and you feel like you’re entering a part of French History, really. An unforgettable travelling experience!

Attic bedroom
We were given a smallish twin room in the attic. There was no air conditioning and the room was unbearably stuffy. There was only one electrical socket by the bed which was entirely insufficient for this day and age. The hotel provided a fan but it made a terrible noise when it was set to a moving motion so we had to keep it set to one setting which meant that only one bed got the benefit. Thanks to the lack of sockets we couldn’t plug in the mosquito repellent provided. The bathroom had a good size bathtub, a sink with a very small sink surround and a small ledge over the toilet for washbags etc. Good size towels were provided along with soap and a hairdryer. The beds were very hard and made up with blankets and only one long sausage shaped pillow. Breakfast was provided in one of the ornate downstairs rooms in the chateau. Cereal & croissants were provided.

A Special Place
This hotel is a special place. The garden next door (part of the castle) is incredible. Across is a Japnese garden. The breakfast was lovely. Beautiful setting. We stayed here because we went to the Puy Du Fou about a 25 minute drive. However, one day we will return just to stay here again.

A gem of a hotel. Arrived quite late but we got a lovely greeting and although the restaurant was closed we got given some lovely mini cakes in the bar when we ordered a drink. Our room was gorgeous ( family room- kids were in the attic). Lovely views onto the gardens.

Beautiful hotel
We love this hotel, as the family room suits us perfectly with the 2 single beds on the mezzanine. We did not have an evening meal as the youngest in the family couldn't see anything they fancied, but the menu looked fantastic. Breakfast was a selection of goodies that suited all, including home made jam with fruit from the chateau garden. We took a trip to the Japanese garden which was a couple of minutes walk round the corner. This used to be part of the chateau garden but is now separated, still worth a visit as very peaceful and calming.

Charming hotel but poor for the disabled.
Very small but comfortable room with smallest size of double bed. Very clean but little clothes storage space. Very modern bathroom with large shower. Poor disabled access with 5 or 6 steps to reception and the route to the room from reception was down these steps, outside along the length of the hotel an up matching steps to a lift then back again along the length of the hotel to ours small room. The same route was needed for meals, checkout and moving our luggage. Breakfast was excellent; dinner was too but after navigating the menu to choose dishes suitable for non meat eaters who like salads in hot weather we decided to eat out the following evening. We found a nice restaurant in Cholet with no requirement for climbing steps in and out and which did serve large salads. The hotel is an interesting building and certainly the rooms pictured on the website look charming which through our servant's quarters into sharp relief. Very nice grounds offering a view over the adjoining Parc Orientale and a visit to the hotel's potager which were both interesting.

Beautiful setting and fabulous food
This was my second visit to the Chateau and I hope not my last. The setting is stunning , with rooms overlooking the Japanese gardens. The main reason why we returned to this hotel was due to the restaurant. The food is delicious and presented beautifully,I'd rate it very highly and would even go as far to say on both occasions probably the best food I've had in France. The staff are also very attentive and polite.
