We stayed one night at The Chateau de la Motte en route to the Dordogne. The journey from Caen took less time than expected and we arrived around lunchtime. Although our rooms were not quite ready we were able to view them before heading into Chatellerault for lunch. On our return the proprietor made us most welcome and explained some... More

We were motoring down to the Midi-Pyrennes, and needed two stops. We chose this entirely from the Trip Advisor "raves", and they were spot on. An excellent Web site, an efficient response, and easy to follow directions ( shut up Tom Tom we love you too) A real life castle, with aflag fluttering for all to see. One problem though,... More

This was our first time at the Château De La Mott and we were not disappointed. We stayed there with four other couples on the way home from a week in the Dordogne as two of them had stayed there before. This is a really impressive place that can be seen from a long way off so the anticipation really... More

As we approached the village we saw the castle on a hill on the far side with its flag waving proudly in the breeze, we asked ourselves if that could really be where we are staying? Indeed it was and it's genuinely fairytale stuff. When we drove in the driveway, the door of the castle opened and our host gave... More

We had looked for a hotel near to Futuroscope, as we wanted something a little different to the chain hotels available near the parc. We were not disappointed! Chateau de la Motte is the most fantastic place. We were welcomed at the front door by Jean Marie, and taken into the castle where we were offered welcome drinks once we... More

This was the first B&B/Chateau that we’ve stayed in in France, so we didn’t know exactly what to expect. The four of us, two sons are 12 and 14, were greeted by Jean-Marie. He showed us to our rooms, Chambre Chevalier and Suite Ysabeau de Poitiers. We loved them both! They each had their own charm. The castle oozes charm.... More

We had the Kings room and certainly were made to feel like royalty. It was a magical night in a castle in France!!! The grounds are lovely and the castle surprisingly warm and inviting. Our hosts were so attentive and gracious. Dinner was sumptious. We truly enjoyed our one night stay. Just remember you are staying in a medieval castle... More

We spent one night at Chateau de la Motte in September 2010 on our way through France. The chateau is easy to spot as soon as you near Usseau, overlooking the village and is an incredible sight on arrival. We were greeted before we stepped out of the car by Jean-Marie and shown to our room. He left us to... More

Travelling around the Loire Region, we had the pleasure of staying in Château de la Motte for 5 nights. The Château oozes charm, character, comfort and class. Our room, Isabeau de Poitiers was a large suite, bright, airy and extremely comfortable with large windows giving views over the surrounding countryside. Off this bedroom was a separate large dressing area and... More
