I have just stayed two nights at this wonderful property and had a fantastic time. I was met with a glass of the local bubbly and then taken to my room (where they had in fact upgraded me which was a very nice surprise). Room was fantastic, very spacious and stylish and extremely comfortable beds. I was meeting some colleagues... More

I chose the chateau as the backdrop for my proposal to my now fiancée. It didn't disappoint; the setting is fab and the buildings are beautiful. As we were there during the easter holidays there was still some work being completed on the new villas but it was no bother at all. We had a complimentary aperitif (courtesy of mr... More

Travelling in convoy in classic vintage vehicles this was on of our stops en route. A fabulous time was had by all as we competed in medieval games. Revelry and fun was the order of the day and we had a fantastic time encouraging our team mates and rankling the "opposition". We played "Petanque" and "Jeux de Quilles". We ended... More

Check in was quick and we were invited to the restaurant for the delicious set menu and unlimited wine. Although the food was'nt always to our taste it was beautifully presented and well... More

It's been awhile since we stayed at Merles for what was the first leg of our Honeymoon tour around the Dordogne region and it treated us to the best of starts. Reiner and his team went to considerable efforts to make our stay enjoyable including setting up a special viewing room to watch England v France! The rooms were comfortable... More

Very beautiful place with lovely hallways and rooms. The decor was a mix of modern and rustic, though people who don't like black and white might not like it as much. We also enjoyed dinner at the place. We went in the low season so it was great value.

We saw this description elsewhere and thought it was a very apt description! The rooms are simple but that is part of the charm. The staff were really friendly and we particularly enjoyed the welcoming glass of local champagne. We ate in the restaurant on the last night before it closed for the winter season and enjoyed the chef's selection... More

Reception and Check In Very welcoming and checked me in incredibly fast which was perfect after such a long and tiring journey. They were very informative about my surroundings and I appreciated being shown me up to my room especially as there were... More
