My wife and I spent a week at le Columbier in August and were very pleasantly surprised. The site is large and facilities generous. Special treats were the free concert in front of the chateau, classical music played by a quartet of: flute, violin, viola and cello, with free interval refreshments. Apart from the lack of sun for us the scene was identical to their website, chairs provided! We also enjoyed a 4-course meal in the chateau, only available two nights a week we understand, which can be prepaid at reception (a set price with a number of choices per course), but cash only in the dining room. There were just 12 diners including us two and not room for many more, hence the need to book in good time. The chateau is plainly a family home and we suspect several of the younger staff are family members. As well as their permanent Epicerie (food shop), there is also an occasional stall of local produce. A nice touch is the building set out as a large lounge, complete with big tv and DVD player, plus a recent very smart Yamaha piano. We observed Madame converse freely in French, English, German and Dutch, she plainly runs a classy establishment! I'm sure we will visit again.
