La Borde en Sologne Château & Spa

The property impresses with its family-friendly amenities and luxurious spa treatments. Guests appreciate the spacious, comfortable rooms and commend the excellent, friendly service and restaurant experience.

A nice park, a nice castle but a poor service. We could not use the dining room as there was a party and were « offered » a cold dinner at € 100provided we took it in the bedroom before 6:45 pm. Not a word of apologies. The bathroom is made of cheap materials. Having taken a laundry bag to put my shoes after walking in the park, I was charged 4 euros for it having spent in one day 2000 euros in spas and room… unreal and laughable 😂😮

Overall, we absolutely loved our stay here and wished we stayed longer. We highly recommend this hotel and restaurant. Beds: Incredibly comfortable and linens were divine! Room: We were traveling as a party of 3 and were told the rooms in the converted horse stables were larger so we booked one of those rooms. We found our room (N5) to be very spacious and well appointed (we even had a little foyer with a closet so you could remove your shoes and jackets before going into the bedroom area). Our room had a nice desk to work at, fireplace, sitting area, and a little room separated with a closing door for our 3rd person with space enough for a single bed and a suitcase. The bathroom was very large and modern. Towels and robes were nice and plush and loved using the large towel warmer for towels and drying off bathing suits. Note: We do not think that the mini bar was complementary. At most of the other hotels we stayed at on our France trip it was included or at least some items were included. Not a big deal for us, just something not to assume is included. Wi-Fi: Very strong. My husband had to do a few work/zoom calls and streamed some sports games and had no issues at all. Grounds: Breathtaking! They have a large staff to ensure every piece of gravel is combed into place! Only area of improvement to note was that both of the pools could have used a scrub and the adult/calm pool had some debris floating in it as it is surrounded closely by the gardens, but the condition was understandable as we went at the end of the day/end of the season. Note: You need to ask for pool towels at the reception for the family pool or at the spa for the calm/adult pool as they are not readily available at the pool. When we asked the staff quickly jumped into action and placed towels down by the pool for us. Activities: - Bikes: Make sure you take one of the complementary e-bikes to explore the grounds. There are farm animals (miniature horses, chickens, pheasants, etc) and little clear domes (bubbles) for yoga/meditation. You cannot get too lost as all of the property gates we came across on our biking excursion around the property were locked. - Row boats: Did not use but there are 2 at the lake’s edge with paddles in them for use when you want. - Spa: Very clean and serene. As a guest you have complimentary access of the hot and dry sauna. The calm/adult pool is just outside so you can go for a refreshing dip right after. Service: Very friendly and eager to help. They have a golf cart to assist with your luggage at arrival and departure (we just called reception when we were about ready to leave 10 minutes before and they were ready and waiting to help). Note: Not all staff speak English but again are eager to help. Even my non-French speaking husband was able to mime and use google translate to ask his questions and have some laughs with the staff. Breakfast: Not included in the cost of the room but worth it as the hotel/grounds are so nice you don’t wan
