I stayed here for three nights to relax and it did the trick. I will definitely be back next year. The staff are lovely and attentive. The room was spacious but I was given an accessible room. The room was very quiet even though next to the lift. The restaurant meals were superb and a good sign was the limited choice in the menu. All the dishes were delicious, especially sitting outside made for a pleasant evening. The wine was great and being served drinks by the pool was good. There is a nice walk down to the garden and to the river.

Everything was perfect.

We particularly liked the way the hotel collaborates with the community to run a permaculture garden and educate young people in sustainable gardening. The accommodation was first class, the staff very friendly and helpful, the food at breakfast and dinner delicious, being able to sit on the outdoor terrace for pre-dinner drinks and for breakfast was great, and the cognac selection was extraordinary!

Nothing - it was excellent.

My wife and I discovered this hotel, fleeing from extreme heat, which made our vacation nearly impossible. We were pleasantly surprised when we saw this beautiful chateau and received a complementary upgrade to a gorgeous suite with plenty of space, period furniture and, needless to say, quiet air conditioning. The restaurant on the property was magnificent, with its impressive décor, large selection of gourmet entries, and excellent service. XO Hardy cognac from handcrafted crystal bottle was unforgettable. We look forward to staying at this magnificent place next time!

Quaint old hotel high on the banks of La Charente river with amazing views across the valley below. Genuinely welcoming staff who went the extra mile to help make our one-night stay more than special. We arrived mid-afternoon and were able to enjoy drinks by the pool. The bedrooms have all recently been repainted by local artists with individual and quirky styles - but it works! There is no restaurant service out of season on Sundays/Mondays, so we had to rely on the hotel to book somewhere for us. Excellent choice made (a steak house on the river at Cognac), but it did mean we had to drive there. When we got back to the hotel, it was pretty shut, but the lovely [Dutch] manager agreed to open the bar so we could sample one from the huge selection of cognac's on offer. She provided an excellent choice based on our individual preferences. I just regret not taking a photo of the bottle for future reference! Breakfast the following morning was superb - on the terrace with the views - and a huge choice of fresh produce. Worth a detour to stay here.

We were in mid-June, so early in the season and understandably the restaurant was not open on Sunday / Monday like many in the area. We might have stayed elsewhere had we known, but glad we didn't as it is a great find. And close to our boat pickup at Jarnac the following morning.

Loved the art. The hotel has very traditional rooms particularly the room with an amazing collection of different cognacs. Then there is the art and design in the bedrooms and corridors and even on the outside. See two photos. Much of the art is quirky with a sense of humor. Also there was good communication from the hotel and the staff facilitated a booking of a restaurant in town which we enjoyed.

The hotel is not within easy walking distance of Cognac center which because the hotels restaurant was closed on the two nights we were there (early in week) meant that we had to drive into town to eat.

What a fabulous place to stay. We will definitely come back! We stayed at Hotel L’Yeuse after arriving at La Rochelle airport, on our way south. The hotel is an easy drive from the airport and we arrived in time to have a fabulous dinner outside on the terrace overlooking the valley. The staff were all so welcoming and the catering team were able to prepare a delicious dinner for all of us, including my daughter who has severe food allergies. We had reserved two rooms. Both had very comfortable beds and we greatly appreciated the blackout curtains as it’s bright at this time of year. Thank you for making this a fabulous first night of our holiday. We will definitely return.

We loved everything.

A beautiful hotel set in glorious grounds. There was plenty of parking, an outdoor swimming pool, indoor spa, beautiful lounge, bar area and restaurant. Our room was nicely decorated and well equipped. We wish we had had more time to fully utilise the facilities. Breakfast was good too. The receptionist and breakfast waitress were both charming and welcoming. We would definitely stay again if we were in that area.

A great hotel in a quiet location in the suburbs of the city. Amazing decor in the public areas and bedrooms. Very comfortable beds and big walk in shower. Restaurant was slick and stylish. The food was very good and arrived promptly. A varied and tasty French menu. The terrace and outdoor pool I am sure add another great dimension in summer.

This was our second visit to the hotel, after a gap of 3 or 4 years. In the interim, the hotel had been refurbished with the involvement of local artists, who have done an excellent job. The service was even better that we had enjoyed on our first visit. The hotel is well located for visiting Cognac and its extensive grounds are well worth exploring.

The hotel restaurant, where we ate outdoors on their beautiful terrace, was catering for a large group on the day of our stay. They kindly agreed to accommodate us, but the service was, understandably, a little rushed.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The rooms and grounds are very good. The hotel is very pleasant

I booked a room for an overnight stay on a Sunday and didn’t realise that the restaurant would be closed. I was looking forward to an evening meal based upon reviews. I should have checked.
