Château de Castel Novel

Staying at this property was an amazing experience for me and my kids, it feels like being transported back in time. Absolutely marvelous.

We reserved at Castel Novel and also had made a restaurant booking on a Monday evening (confirmed by email) hoping to enjoy the tasting menu on offer. Unfortunately we were informed that the restaurant wasn’t open on Mondays and were directed to a nearby restaurant (La Caleche in Varetz). Sadly the offer was very different to what we were expecting as instead of a fine dining experience, we had to choose from the table d’hôte menu made of: - Steak Haché /Frites - Fish and chips - Galette complete (Ham and egg) - Dish of the day (they ran out so I couldn’t try) Followed by: Tiramisu, Creme Brûlée, Ice Cream or Tarte aux noix. If you ask from sauces, please make sure that you check the use by date, the mustard sachets from the pot were out of date. What a disappointment!!! If I knew I will have booked another establishment for our last fine dining experience. The hotel itself still very pleasant despite finding in the corridor when we checked in our room: linen bags and rubbishes not to mention the 2 buckets collecting water from the celling (this is only a maintenance issue that cannot be hold agains the premises). I am very surprised that the restaurant is closed on Mondays during July and August as I am sure the 30 odds guests who stayed that night will have dine at Castel Novel restaurant. In another hand, the receptionist was very pro active and eased our stay with professionalism.

A lovely overnight in a real castle in the Correze A very pleasant overnight stay between two days of driving, including a lovely dinner. Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated, bed was very comfortable, shower was good. Staff were great, too.

A very beautiful location that gives you the feeling of going back in time. The castle is enchanting but equipped with every luxury. Dinner has a wide choice, something for everyone. The breakfast had an extensive choice and everything was wonderfully fresh, from fruit to crossaints. The room was beautifully decorated in authentic style. High ceiling with upholstered walls. The bed was very comfortable, and they very kindly took our 2 year old daughter into account for an extra bed. Staff also very welcoming with compliments to Laura. Highly recommended, we will definitely come back!

We really enjoyed our stay, it has lovely grounds the food was really good and the room was great.

Lovely property great terrace to have a drink. Restaurant was good. Staff were excellent. Parking very easy and beautiful grounds. It does have a lift but not to all floors. We had a room that had the bathroom upstairs a bit dangerous in the middle of the night.
