Hôtel Château Lacan, Brive-la-Gaillarde

The room was large enough with a weird bathroom setup: the bathtub with no curtain was positioned behing the bed. Washing produced a flood. The restrooms had no lock. The castle was beautiful but the outdoors miserable with a frontyard covered in asphalt. While the countryside was full of delicious and cheap charcuterie cheeses and produce the breakfast buffet solely comprised industrial products with no soul or flavor.

The hotel is fantastic. Room was very tasteful. Loved it. Minute downside was that it is a fair walk into the centre of the area and when we decided to get a taxi back after a meal it cost 14euros to get back. I must stress that the hotel itself and the staff etc are impeccable. Be prepared for a walk though.

The staff were pleasant, but, the Hotel did not quite hit the mark for us considering the price. The black out curtains didn't quite fit the windows, the top of the tap in the bathroom fell off as it hadn't been tightened properly, there was not shower screen and the bath tap was just too short so sent water over the edge of the bath. Minor things that would not take too much to fix, but not quite as we would have expected for the cost.

Very disappointing stay as mezzanine room completely unsuitable for hot weather. Hotel has no amenities: gardens boring expanse of grass with small terrace; no pool; too far from town to walk; no dining facilities when we were there. WiFi is dreadful: very intermittent and therefore keeps cutting out. Staff however are excellent and do their best.
