Absolutely beautiful. Gorgeous spaces and room. Beautiful property.

The location was quite far from montauban considering we had to drive back into town for dinner as we couldn’t get dinner there. Sadly this meant that because we could not check in until 5 pm and you have to check out quite early there is no real opportunity to enjoy the property — we had hoped to sit by the pool, relax and have a quiet evening without having to drive again after several hours in the car. HOWEVER — this is NOT a complaint as this property and the staff are exceptional and I would absolutely LOVE to stay here again — this time with a better plan for arranging a cold meal at the property so we didn’t have to drive again.

Everything! An all too brief stay in a beautiful manor. Pristine cleanliness, lovely swimming pool, superb breakfast. We had booked here as it worked in with our cycling trip of the canals. My husband had started to feel unwell so I telephoned to ask if we could arrive earlier than the accepted hour and was told that this was not a problem. I speak fairly good French, but was SO grateful for the proprietor’s help as his English is excellent and, the following morning he kindly arranged a doctor appointment, took us in his car, and arranged taxi transfer back to the Manor. ( for note to cyclists….Hugh was diagnosed with bronchial allergy to the pollen from the plane trees which line the canal bank! Our bikes were housed in building with electric plugs to recharge batteries…wonderful!) We therefore abandoned our cycle trip, but were able to leave our bikes securely for a few days till we revisited with our car to collect them) We could not have chosen a better place to fall ill! The Manor offers an evening platter of meats, cheeses etc as there are no restaurants in the immediate vicinity, and as we had bikes this was not practical. This is a place where total relaxation is assured in first class environment. Lovely staff.

Nothing at all.

Castel Bois Marie was a perfect stop off for us, driving back to the UK. The property is a beautiful old house with lovely gardens, perfect to unwind after a drive and great fun for our dog. Our room was incredibly comfortable with lovely big windows looking over the garden and a gorgeous bathroom. Initially we were disappointed that it wasn’t possible to have a proper supper there but it turned out to be a positive as Montauban is a beautiful town a ten minute drive away which is really worth a visit - a beautiful river, lots of lovely restaurants and a buzzing main square. We had dinner at Antoine which was fabulous (we were lucky to get the last table). Breakfast was delicious and served in a beautiful dining room - in warmer weather I imagine it would be on the terrace.

The check in time of 5pm is slightly restrictive as we had a better drive than expected so had to wait outside the gates of the property for a member of staff to start working. That said, the owner communicated well over the telephone to let us know the situation.

Elegant house with friendly family owner/managers. Not for those wanting all mod cons (although to our taste lacking nothing), this breathes a more understated sophistication. The rooms are clean, well sized, carefully appointed, the house is lovely, and the common parts are an easy fusion of old school with some discrete updating. Food is top quality, and although they encourage you to sign up for dinner on every email, do not fear, this is no dodgy upselling scam! What you get is cooked for you and maybe one or two other residents by a professional chef, way better than the local restaurants in Montauban, as well as being in genial, relaxing surroundings. If you are in the area book with confidence, we will certainly return.

This is the second time we have stayed here this year, and the standards on both occasions are of the highest quality. We stayed in the suite in the loft, which offered spectacular views. The rooms were very warm, extremely clean, modern, the beds were extremely comfortable. The location is easy to find.

We very much enjoyed our stay. We liked the cold breakfast, but would suggest having cooked eggs available would be a bonus.

The hotel and the grounds were beautiful, with grandeur interior with a modern twist. The rooms are great and spacious.

The breakfast lacked a few more staples like eggs for instance. Whilst this is advertised correctly, there are no restaurants or anything close to the hotel or in walking distance so you’ll need to drive quite a bit.

This is a gem of a hotel. The Management and staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. The building and the interior is amazing - almost like walking into the past. The rooms are comfortable, clean and well presented. Dinner is only available on certain evenings and needs to be pre-booked. This was quirky, but added to the 'family home' feel to the place. The house is fairly remote from Montauban, however we really liked that it was peaceful and quiet. The Food was magnificent and the wine options were more than satisfactory. Thank you for making our stay such a wonderful experience.

Our bedroom was a little on the warm side. The aircon didn't appear to make too much difference. Might have been user error!

Loved everything about Castel Bois Marie. A grand house that has been restored lovingly to perfection. The photos don't do it justice- it's more impressive when you arrive. Our host Axelles was wonderful and attentive. The rooms are huge, air conditioned and so very comfortable. We ate our dinner here and had a fantastic evening. Would definitely recommend and will stay again when we're next in this part of France.

There really wasn't anything we didn't like. It met our very high expectations. Maybe use more of the photos on Insta on the Booking.com site as they give a better feel for the place?

We had a lovely one night stay on the way to the airport. The house was beautifully decorated, the beds were comfortable and shower good. They are a very small, family run business, Axelle whose family owns the house was very friendly making us very welcome. We stayed for dinner which was delicious. There is parking right outside, it's secure as the property has an electric gate. There is a lovely terrace for a drink and a pool although it was too cool at end of May.

we loved it, not much English spoken apart from Axelle, but we got by (we must learn French!) the communication about dinner was a little confusing but that was probably a language thing

We loved our stay, the owner went out of her way to be of help. The location is really good, out of town but not so far out you can’t get into town, by car, to look around Montauban, have dinner at one of the many restaurants or shop at a modern grocery if needed for any reason.

There is very little to not like, the room was great, good pool area, nice story of the Chateau and overall no complaints. Be aware of stairs, if you have some trouble with mobility, that might be an issue, but other than that, great.
