Using our trusty GPS,we arrived in the afternoon. We were a bit dismayed as the promised and confirmed room was not available, since its occupants elected to stay longer. We were given another room at the junior suite level and found it to our liking. There was an elegant bathroom with double sinks and all was well lit. The bedroom was very comfortable and beautifully furnished. The property itself is wonderful,with ancient buildings and a moat adding to the scenery. There are all kinds of birds and geese plus three dogs wandering around. -the dogs all friendly. Dinner was good, but not over the top. Service was excellent. They garaged our car and made sure the windows were clean every day. They even mapped out routes we could take to explore this historic area.Highly recommended

Location is fantastic as were the buildings and grounds. Proprietor and staff were all very friendly and helpful and all spoke excellent English. Nothing was too much trouble. The quality of the food and wine was absolutely excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 day stay and would certainly return. All this comes at a price though - it is not a Premier Inn!

this must be paradise! moats, goats, gardens, peacocks, a dungeon and medieval grand chateau and the town of espoisses around the corner. there are rolling hills with white cows grazing everywhere. the hosts could not have been kinder and it is no surprise to see the upscale group of backroad bikers also as guests. our intimate dining experience could also be described with perfection!

As i've repeatedly said, hotels are like food and wine, very personal and subjective.
We had been here previously and my wife hesitates at returning to the same location.
Yet on this trip,Lynn suggested that we return to the Chsteau - we had such fond memories - and the roaming peacocks and other birds were a major part of this - other reviewers though obviously see them as a sideshow.
We'd previously had a suite and I was slightly disappointed to be "downgraded" - the owners response was "you obviously booked by the internet" and they clearly didn;t bother checking that I was a repeat customer.
The service was probably ordinary and the food was so-so but we didn;t come here for a food experience - it is what it is - and we love it for that.
Vezelay is a wonderful base to explore the Burgundy region and we would certainly come back to the Chateau again and again - hopefully the owners next time remember us and give us a better room.
