New management seemingly understaffed. New owners re-used what was left by the former 5-star hotel (some high-end details show signs of gradual downfall). Food quality to be improved (especially given the -quite high- prices).

Beautiful castle, amenities, and surroundings. Kind service (if quite informal). Room with a lovely castle-vibe.

Staying in a castle was amazing and the facilities were amazing. Alex was incredibly helpful — I almost felt bad we asked him for so much

Amazing Architecture, Scenery, and a beautiful place to just chill.

There were no air conditioning in the room , a lit bit hot to sleep

We had a fantastic stay at Château de Codignat! The facilities were absolutely amazing — everything was elegant, well-maintained, and truly fitting for such a beautiful historic setting. The medieval atmosphere made us feel like we were stepping into a real-life castle, which was a unique and memorable experience. A special mention goes to Alex at reception — what a legend! He made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived, and his warm, professional manner really enhanced our stay. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

We had read that there was an impressive restaurant but when we stayed the menu was very limited and offered dishes that were microwaved in glass dishes. Nevertheless they were very nice but not what we were expecting

An amazing chateau with pool and so much history. A real bargain

Stunning accommodation. Huge rooms, friendly staff and beautiful surroundings. Breakfast was great.

what if you take a castle of a Russian prince, amazing beauty, add a hot heart of an Italian, who owns it now, with a pinch of ideal staff and interior design, as if you decided to relax with your family, just move it into a book about the Renaissance? only with a swimming pool! heated! with delicious artistic breakfasts! and a fantastic wine list! You will get real France, you will get Codignat!

The only complaint was that we thought from the listing there was a restaurant on site - had we known there wasn't we would have eaten on the way in. After checking in we drove into the nearest village (which was not too far away) to one of their recommended restaurants which was all good, but just made for a later night than we wanted.

We loved the castle, the room and the decor. It was a lovely spot - we only stayed for one night on the way through to Switzerland which was a pity. On arrival there were staff to show us to our room, very comfortable beds and ample parking in a quiet setting.

It was too cold to go in the swimming pool!

The chateau has recently re-opened, previously having been a 5* venue. It still retains all the fixtures, fitting and character but at a much more reasonable cost. There is no restaurant but they can provide meals in a jar which is quite quirky. Local restaurants are available. Breakfast is buffet style and coffee and tea is freely available in the lounge. It still retains a swimming pool and tennis court and its country location is lovely for walking and cycling.

There was nothing not to like.

Location was fabulous. Room was wonderful. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Food all homemade, traditional, healthy and very tasty, and the playlist during dinner was befitting of a medieval castle. Beautiful walks surrounded the castle. And it was very pet friendly. Will definitely be back.

The bed was so comfortable we didn't want to get up! The room was just the right temperature and the staff were lovely. They even provided us with a take away breakfast as we were leaving very early. We would recommend highly and would definitely stay again in the future.

You stay in THE CASTLE! Feels very special. Property managers are very helpful and friendly. The rooms are something special too, feel very authentic, yet comfortable.

They really should have been upfront about there being no chef. We were anticipating a really good dinner but what we had was some terrible concoction offered in a strange vase-like receptacle that had been sourced elsewhere and thrown together by the waiting staff. We’ve never been served up such a revolting meal and sadly it really spoilt the stay for us.

We had a beautiful room with garden view, absolutely huge.

Dinner was not what you expect in a lovely chateau in France. Very disappointing.

What a beautiful little chateau. Good facilities eg pool, tennis courts etc. unfortunately lacking a good chef.

Stayed in August 2025

The dinner was overpriced for the quality. The service was also poor for the cost.

A lovely little chateau in a beautiful setting
