CHATEAU DE LONGECOURT-EN-PLAINE

Génial de loger dans un tel lieu ouvert au peuple!
Il y a qqch de particulier qu'il faut découvrir soi-même.
Les confitures fu petit déjeuner sont faites maison et à part le couac dû à la boulangerie fermée le lundi matin, donc service minimal pour le pain, le séjour est une réussite !

Loved our 5 night stay here. Originally built in 1190 and added to until 14th century. If you want a taste of the past, then this is your stop. Car hire to visit surrounding wine regions and towns a must .
Beautiful gardens, antiques and artwork, peaceful spaces and wonderful hosts

Un hermoso castillo , digno de un cuento, con sus grandes Torres laterales, grandes jardines y bosques, su entrada colosal, su fosa de agua al rededor del Castillo, te regalan la Magia de estar en otra época

A fun and unique stay, would recommend to history lovers.

Checkin was great and the host helped with luggage and showing us to our room. He was funny and made us feel very welcome.

Room was very spacious, with comfortable bathroom. All decor is of old style and interesting. Bottled water was nice.

Experience with breakfast was poor. I waited with other guests as the reception was empty in the morning. Eventually we were shown to the dining room, which was uncleared and not restocked. I was surprised only to have baguettes left to eat in bread baskets on the table and jam to eat. There was a food table which seemed to have more variety but not replenished. A (different) host was in charge who seemed stressed and not attentive.

At first I was a bit disappointed to arrive to a somewhat crumbling exterior, inside multiple vases of dying or dead flowers and a room with a truly outdated toilet closet and metal cabinet shower. After seeing the website video and reading reviews this was not what we expected. Fortunately we were able to move to a room with a modern bath and shower, the flower vases were mostly refreshed, and things started to look up. We never met the resident Count nor the women glowingly described in reviews but a very gracious young man, Maxim, gave us a tour and made us feel at home. The staff is quite limited, check in is late at 5 pm, and once we were settled in we saw no staff except a young man who laid out the continental breakfast. (Chickens live on site but no eggs for breakfast.) The breakfast room in the old kitchen is highly atmospheric. There is no maid service, your rooms are your responsibility for making beds, refreshing water, toilet paper, etc. The rooms do not have locks on the doors, you cannot lock your room. |There is a lot of trust on the part of the owner—-the place is pretty much left open for you to wander. You can take advantage of a beautiful drawing room downstairs that is full of art, books, and music. The public areas look much like the web site photos—quite elegant. There were no swans in the moat but plenty of frogs to serenade you at dusk. |We stayed for 3 nights although most guests seemed to stay only one.| What we came to appreciate is that you are basically staying in someone’s home, (someone who is not there) at a pretty reasonable price for the historic atmosphere. |The bedrooms do vary a lot so be sure you ask for a modern bath and large bed if you are not charmed by antiquated bath facilities.|Walking around at night in the flower garden after a dinner in town was relaxing and serene—- gives one the impression that the rest of the world doesn’t matter. If you want to try out a castle stay at a reasonable price and are prepared to self service then this will be a good fit for you.Dijon is about 20 minutes away -an easy drive and a great town to visit with a well organized self guided tourist path.
