Chateau de La Borde sur Ussel

The two of us stayed at the Château de la Borde for 2 nights in September 24 while traveling through. The welcome from Pierre's sister was very friendly and helpful. Our room was large, beautiful, very clean and quiet. The evening food offerings are unusual but very pleasant. You get (in the fridge) a prepared 3-course menu (20€), which is not selectable but is different and fresh every day. You just have to ask what is there. You then warm up the main course in the microwave, which is much tastier than you imagine because the dish in the porcelain dishes and the microwave are coordinated. Then you can enjoy the meal together with your own wine/water in the very tastefully furnished (eating) hall of the "castle" with fine crockery, cutlery and beautiful glasses, in peace and quiet, whenever you want. Café afterwards is free. On the first evening we didn't understand the concept and had to rely on the limited offerings in Ussel, which we later regretted. Kind regards and good luck to Pierre and his sister. (A few more hangers in the large closet would be helpful)

Our host Pierre, very pleasant and available to his customers, we had a very good time in this magnificent residence.

Welcoming, very pleasant setting... Very large and beautiful rooms to receive guests, dance, eat, have fun and have a good time sharing...

here is a place that deserves to be known. Magnificent quiet castle, tastefully restored, comfortable and very clean rooms, very beautiful dining room Very good breakfast prepared by Angélique, a very welcoming, attentive and responsive person. Thank you for our bikes. The dinner prepared by the cook, available in the fridge, was very good. Depending on your arrival time, Angélique is not necessarily there to welcome you, but she will contact you by phone and give you all the explanations followed by a text message to confirm everything. No need to worry, everything is perfect

very beautiful hergerges externally and internally! ample parking! absolute confidence, provision of drinks at the bar... we were 3 cyclists, we were assigned a room to store our bikes! the meals are prepared, just need to be reheated! in the morning breakfast is prepared hot drinks are served at the bar it was perfect!...

Came with children 7 months and 4 years old. Beautiful and clean rooms Good bedding Well maintained castle Very friendly welcome Well done !

Perfect for transit & enjoyment, dogs extremely welcome! Super nice! What a great location, what nice hosts, what a great gastronomic concept, how loving towards our dog! At least 11 out of 10 stars. About the details: Like all the other guests that evening, we were passing through because the hotel is ideally located on the route from Spain/Portugal/Southern France to Germany. We - like other guests - travel with dogs and are therefore always looking for accommodations that are REALLY dog-friendly. A corresponding surcharge like here (15 €/night) is absolutely fine. The Château de la Borde is located on the edge of Ussel in nature, directly on a small river, forest and meadows. The railway line next door is hardly used, we noticed one or two local trains (no high-speed trains, no freight trains). The building was lovingly renovated over around 20 years and has 6 different rooms. According to conversations with the other guests, they were all great, just like ours: clean, modern, optimally equipped and absolutely quiet. Romantic anyway, because everything in this little castle is really fantastic. We recommend eating there too. Pierre prepares a 3-course menu every day upon advance order, which he keeps chilled in the dining room. You take the ceramic containers and simply serve it to yourself at the already set table, take wine, water or beer and enjoy excellent cuisine. You can warm up the hot dishes yourself in the microwave. Don't worry, it's anything but uncool - the food is attractively arranged in the fridge on ceramic plates with lids and heated to perfection with chef Pierre's perfect settings. Our pork loin with green lentils and a delicate horseradish sauce was delicate pink and simply perfect. The wine chosen was also perfect. €20 per person for dinner is incredible value for money.

Great, very nice contact, good service, clean rooms, highly recommended
