What an amazing experience this was to stay here! Real French countryside in a historic Chateau, I can't recommend this place enough. We were visiting St Mont Michel and this was a short drive from there.

Wonderful place
This is a gem of a place. The room is well decorated and beautiful and the bathroom is perfect, large and well done. The gardens are magnificent and so well tended, make sure you see them and walk through the maze, the owners are available and extremely hospitable, the breakfast was a fabulous mix of delicious food and coffee. It is a wonderful slice of history. While the location is a bit remote and restaurants are no closer than 15 minutes, the owners have prepared a pamphlet of where to go, and since we arrived very late in the evening they called ahead for us to get a reservation. We were told they have concerts there for the locals, and I wish we could have been there for that. Highly recommend this wonderful place.

Romantic setting. It is very country area, nice garden to stroll in and comfortable large castle bedrooms. Decor is eclectic, but homey. Dining room was great but breakfast was expensive for the food and service. You have to like large friendly dogs.

Beautiful chateau
We stayed for a night and it was great. The grounds were very peaceful and quiet... A perfect getaway from the city. The hosts were very hospitable as we arrived just as a concert was about to begin, yet the host graciously showed us to our room and also invited us to watch the concert if we wished. Very helpful in recommending restaurants and checking if they were open. We were also offered complimentary tea and coffee after we returned from dinner. We would love to go back again!

Beautiful garden
We were the only couple staying for the two nights. The room was very big and fairly beautiful and comfortable. The bathroom was small and not great. There is no bath. The buffet was spread out for hours so not there fault for being a bit stale. The freshly cooked food was good. The location is rather remote and the nearest restaurants a little far and also very quiet. It felt a little like we were intruding in a very peaceful family home with a stunning garden and lovely dogs. It is about a half hour drive to Mont St Michel. Very relaxing place.

It was beautiful, peaceful and romantic. The sculpted gardens only added to the ambience of another time. The breakfast was perfect and the croissants were delicious. I would highly recommend dinner prepared by Madame as well. Very French and very delicious. It doesn't get better than this.

Comfort and Elegance at Chateau de la Ballue
We had the pleasure of staying at Chateau de la Ballue for two nights last week. We travel frequently, often to France, and do not normally submit hotel reviews. Marie-Francoise, Allain, and staff easily outshone the four star Paris hotel from which we had just come. The 17th century Chateau, the elegance of its national treasure formal gardens (with surprising modern touches), and surrounding countryside (about 20 kms from Mont-Saint-Michel), provided a dramatic backdrop to the warmth and attentiveness we experienced at La Ballue. Always-crisp linens, snow white towels, impeccable cleanliness throughout, and a wonderful breakfast, all left us wanting to return at the earliest possible date.

Uns hat es hier ausgezeichnet gefallen! Unser Zimmer war sehr schön, natürlich nagen die Zeichen der Zeit an einem Gebäude aus dem 17. Jahrhundert, aber diesen Charme haben wir genau gesucht. Das Beste an dem Chateau ist der Anblick der zauberhaften gepflegten Gärten, die grünen Wellen mit Fernsicht in die wunderschöne Landschaft und eine Gartenanlage mit einem Dutzend verschiedenen Themen, von einem Wandelgang bis zu einem Labyrinth. Ein Wohnzimmer steht für alle offen und das Frühstück nach Wunsch wird an einer großen alten Tafel serviert. Gäste werden freundlich empfangen. Alleine schon die Anreise durch abgelegen Felder und Wälder machen den Aufenthalt zu einem Exkurs in eine andere Zeit. Lediglich dass es kein Restaurant im Château gibt und auch die nähere Umgebung wenig zu bieten hat, ist eine kleine Komplikation.

La vie de château
Nous avons passé 2 nuits au Château de la Ballue à l'occasion d'un mariage dans la région. Nous avons été accueillis avec grande gentillesse par les propriétaires et par tout le personnel. Nous avons beaucoup aimé les jardins, la piscine, les salons de réception et notre belle et grande chambre très confortable. Un bonus pour nous qui aimons les animaux: la présence de deux chiens, beaux et affectueux, nous a comblés

Inolvidable!
Ha sido una experiencia maravillosa. El sitio es espectacular, lejos del mundanal ruido, en plena naturaleza. El silencio y las estrellas por la noche. La sensación de estar solos en el castillo. Por la noche, nos quedábamos en el salón con una buena botella de vino escuchando música clásica, admirando la belleza de las cosas de antes. Mi marido y yo viajamos mucho por todo el mundo y tengo que decir que esta experiencia nos ha robados el corazón. Levantarse por la mañana en una habitación preciosa (la persa), abrir la ventana y ver los jardines, niebla en el horizonte....muy romántico! En la parte práctica, el chateau está muy céntrico para visitar Vitre, fougères, comburg, Cancale, st.michel y Dinan. Estuvimos 3 noches. Repetiría seguro! Ojo, no hay restaurante en el hotel!

Historisk miljø med unik hage
Vi hadde et perfekt opphold. Vertinna forstod at vi var slitne etter sykkelturen hit og sørget for at vi ble tatt imot på beste vis. Kvelden ble tilbragt foran vedovnen i salongen med interiør fra 1600-tallet. Hagen på dette stedet var målet for turen vår, og vi fikk bruke formiddagen før vi dro til å se oss rundt. Hagen er den fineste i Bretagne, moderne, men med røtter i barokken. Oppholdet koster litt mer enn et vanlig hotell, men gir en unik opplevelse som er verdt pengene.
