Château Pellisson — Hotel in Cognac

The Chateau is not far from the city center and in a quiet area even though it is next to the Cognac train station. Did not hear the trains in all of the time we were there. The grounds are small but very nice and well kept. ||We were booked at the Chateau for 2 nights and when we arrived the gates were closed and we could not enter the parking area. We went to the small hotel behind the Chateau to find out where it was and how to enter. The woman at the reception at that desk also managed the Chateau so she went and opened the gates for us and checked us into our suite even though we were there in the morning and check in was not until 3PM. We stayed in the Romantique suite which was excellent. Entry was directly off the loby and ver convenient. It was very well done and very large taking up a full corner of the main floor. Plenty of room with a large sitting and dining area and a very large bedroom and bath with both a tub and seperate shower.||While there over the three days and two nights there was rarely any staff around to assist or answer questions which for such a grand facility seemed odd. Even on check out we had to find someone to get a person that could check us out.||There is a continental breakfast with minimal items included but no restaurant for meals. The small hotel behind the Chateau does have diner for lunch and that is where we had lunch the first day. There are man restaurants in Cognac so this is not an issue. It is very close to many Cognac houses so getting a tour is very easy and can be arranged by the very helpful tourist bureau in the city center a short distance from the Chateau.||The lack of staff may have been due to the time of year (mid Oct.) and low occupancy but we felt like most of the time we were the only ones there which most of the time was not an issue. And as stated the suite was special with a nice mix of old and modern decorating.||If looking for a quite time and access to the Cognac area the Chateau us a very nice place to stay...

We found this place on a booking website and only intended to stay one or two nights, but when we got there we were so impressed we decided to extend our stay to 4 nights. The Chateau is absolutely beautiful with each room individually designed and unique, with lots of space and bright light with large comfortable beds. Because we extended our stay we ended up staying in four of the five rooms due to prior bookings with other guests so we were lucky to experience nearly all of the rooms. The owner Jean-Luc, was super friendly and really helpful in making arrangements for us. |They provide a good traditional French breakfast with lots of pastries, cereals, juices and breads and great coffee.||The outdoor facilities are a real treat with a pool and sun terrace and a pool out-house containing a large high-quality Jacuzzi and a small two-person sauna which we made maximum of use of during our stay. The Chateau is attached to a small hotel which has a lovely restaurant area and a number of rooms, on our last night they were fully booked, but Jean-Luc took us to some new studios attached to the hotel that had only just been renovated which were both really nice, with quality furnishings and good air-conditioning and a kitchenette, if you are looking for a few days of luxury in Cognac - this is the...

Stayed here as a couple in September. Our room was a mini suite, spotlessly clean, luxurious bathroom and plenty of room. The owner and his team could not do enough to help you. Breakfast was served upstairs and was serve yourself buffet style. Plenty of fresh bread, ham, cheese, eggs, fruit etc. All fresh and plentiful. The grounds are lovely and has the bonus of a lovely pool which we had to ourselves most days. It was a 10 minute walk into town with some lovely bars and restaurants. Also, next to the Chateau is a lovely Logis (owned by the owner of the chateau) where we had a lovely menu du jour with cheese and wine for a very good price. Service and food were lovely. Next time we are Cognac we will definitely stay at...
