If you want to go back and experience 18th and early 19th century living, this is the place. It was charming, treated like a king. The gardens around the castle are exceptional, the staff was friendly and very attentive. The breakfast was excellent, their home made yogurt a delight. Room was above expectations with a very comfortable bed. Just want to point out, there's no TV in room, which in reality we did not need. It's a place for you to relax after a long day of sight seeing. Absolutely wonderful!

Nothing at all

Wow! The gates open and you enter a world of luxury and classic beauty. Beautiful gardens and the sounds of cooing or ring-neck doves. surround you. The decor in the bedrooms especially is spectacular, with textile panel walls and canopy beds. The staff's extra effort laundering on-site and ironing all the linens by hand makes them amazingly fresh --crisp and soft at the same time! Better than the 4 Seasons! Amazing property, lovely people, a not to be missed experience!

This was not a negative....We were dining with friends who lived close to the Chateau, but as it was the vacation time in France, and since many local restaurants were closed, it was difficult to get dinner, as they only serve breakfast at the Chateau. But the staff made sure that our kids were taken care of and helped them get pizza for dinner, warming it up in the kitchen. Above and beyond!

This is a magical place it felt like we had been welcomed into someone’s home, it was incredible staying in this beautiful chateau with a world class garden open to us 24 hours a day. Very warm welcome from the family and their staff. So much beautiful countryside around an amazing breakfast !

Everything was exceptional

Extraordinary hotel - absolutely wonderful. We stayed only 1 night but regret we did not have time to stay longer to savour the magic. The building, the decoration and furnishings, and the garden were all delightful. The breakfast was also superb.

The biggest drawback is the absence of a proximate restaurant. There is one in the village 4 km away, but after that you must drive 16 km to Combourg, which is well worth a visit anyway. Remember, people eat early in the countryside.

Beautiful building and gardens! Pet friendly and welcoming. Our room was perfect, beautifully decorated and comfortable. Breakfast was amazing in the dining room served by a sweet woman.

Loved it all!! Only thing that would be nice, cafe food or meals. Not too far from restaurants but in the garden would have been spectacular

The property was stunning and the gardens were immaculate. We had a lovely time walking through them! The proprietors were also very gracious and welcoming. We felt truly relaxed during our whole stay.

There truly was nothing that I did not like about Chateau de la Ballue - the staff was amazing, breakfast was fantastic, rooms extraordinary.

Nearby restaurants are few, but the staff has a great list and advised to book well in advance.

Memorable experience. The Chateau has a wow effect from the moment you approach the house. Beautiful, stunning, full of history Loved walking in the gardens. Had a great tea and cake in the Cafe, enjoyed the breakfast. Thanks for everything

My fourth stay since 2015 and so obviously I love it. The history, the huge and gorgeous bedrooms, the lounges and the breakfast room. All feel like a family lives here. Breakfast is incredible! I also took advantage of the large heated pool and the jacuzzi. So incredibly relaxing.

Our room overlooked the fabulous garden they have here. We spent time at the beginning of our stay and at the end of our stay exploring different parts of it. There was also a sumptious breakfast every morning. It was an absolutely enchanting stay.
