Le Marmontel sur Ussel

06/09/2024: 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)
