Hotel Joyet de Maubec

Excellent hotel and restaurant with helpful, friendly service. We stayed one night to break a journey through France, having dinner and breakfast. Lots of special touches in the room: powerful shower, fluffy robes, heated bathroom mirror. Cooked to order bacon and eggs for breakfast was the cherry on the top of the cake. We will return.

The hotel is very nice. Rooms are comfortable and breakfast was good. However, our stay was pretty terrible I’m afraid and even raising our issues with reception on checking out was met with very little in the way of an apology. I booked the hotel for a one night stop-off stay on the way back from the south of France. It was booked in January 2023 for a July stay . Over the course of that 5 months period, I never received any emails from the hotel to suggest anything unusual would be happening on the night of our stay. Even on the day of checking in nothing was mentioned to us. However, when we came down for dinner at 7:45 pm we met in reception and told that we could not be in our room between 10:30 pm and 11:30 pm that evening because of a firework display. When we questioned this, we were told there was a health and safety issue and that the fireworks meant that we would have to vacate the hotel completely for that hour and we would only be let back in when it had finished. The hotel had five months in which to communicate this information to it before our stay and had they done so I would’ve cancelled the room immediately without any concerns. To drop this information on us at 7.45pm when we had no alternative accommodation is simply unacceptable. We went out for dinner and went back to our room at about 9 pm as we were very tired. At 10:30 pm we had a knock on the door and a couple of moments later the phone rang endlessly until we woke up and we were told we had to leave the room. We said we were not going to get dressed and leave the room as we had a 600km drive the following day. On that, we were told that we were not allowed to open the curtains and must not put the light on so we did not spoil the fireworks display. The fireworks eventually finished at 11:40 pm and then loud music started directly outside the hotel and carried on until almost 3am

The owners have done a splendid job in modernising the chateau, and creating a comfortable sophisticated environment. We were welcomed and looked after throughout. Being perched at the top of a hill overlooking a deep valley, the views are great. Dinner in the restaurant was also a really good experience. I hope we can find a way to return.....

Clean and comfortable room with a good shower. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. Great breakfast. Highly recommend. Will definitely stay again. Nice terrace with a view. We did have trouble finding it but it was worth the effort.

We stayed for one night in a Superior Double room overlooking the little carpark. Our host provided towelling robes as she noticed none had been provided in the room. We later discovered we had no towels but these were also quickly provided. The room was comfortable and clean. The hardworking hosts have transformed this former mansion into a stylish modern hotel.
