The property is delightful and our suite of bedroom and bathroom were well equipped. The bathroom is luxurious, with lovely toiletries and a stunning bath. Outstanding breakfast on a truly beautiful terrace. So enjoyable! Rachel is very helpful. She recommended a restaurant and a local chateaux wine festival that was a highlight of our holiday. A good location for touring the surrounding wine area and locations such as Michel de Montaigne’s Tower.

The town doesn’t have much choice of restaurants and isn’t we’ll set up for tourists.

Our hostess, Rachel, was very warm and welcoming. She was very helpful and informative. The view over her garden from the breakfast terrace was a great start to the day as was her breakfast. Room was lovely and bed very comfortable. Excellent restaurants, recommended by Rachel, within walking distance, esp Patio Burro. Very close to St Emilion.

Nothing

An historic house in an excellent location - a quiet street, close to the station and just a short walk to the centre of Castillon. Plenty of parking space close by and within easy reach of the vineyards. Our room was spacious and well equipped. Breakfast on the balcony was a delight, with fresh croissants and bread, home-made preserves, fruits, cereals, juice, yoghurt and a delicious cafetière of coffee. Rachel is a charming and interesting host, happy to tell us the history of her beautiful house and to introduce us to her secluded garden, filled with the plants she uses in her work as a herbalist.

Nothing! La Maison Botanique was fabulous!

Rachel made us feel very welcome and had good suggestions. We went for a lovely walk along the Dordogne, we went to the river beach and we enjoyed our dinners in local outdoor restaurants. Castillon-la-Bataille is a nice little town with very few tourists. Rachel's house is beautiful and the breakfasts on the balcony tasty (nice bread!) and pleasant.

Beautiful tastefully decorated house in a quiet location close to bars/restaurants. Free parking outside the property. Absolutely fantastic host who had great recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing. The beautifully set out breakfast on the terrace overlooking the garden was delightful.

Nothing.

We loved the hospitality, Rachel was an absolute pleasure from the moment we walked through the door. Her decor and interior is stunning with a beautiful garden to enjoy your morning coffee.

Everything was perfect for our stay.

Rachael and her guest house La maison botanique is typically French. The host is very polite and helpful and goes the extra mile to make your stay memorable.

Beautiful old house - full of character. Rachel, our host, was really lovely. So helpful and friendly. Breakfast was wonderful on her gorgeous terrace overlooking the garden.

Good choices for breakfast and lovely setting on the balcony overlooking the lush garden.

Problems with the keys to the bathroom quite tricky, old fashioned key and small door handles.

Rachel, the host, was exceptional. Nothing was too much to ask - including advice, adaptors, extra hangers, even sunglasses!

Housekeeping wasn’t daily but that wasn’t a big deal. Some extra amenities eg shower cap would’ve been a nice to have.
