Hotel Le Mas De Castel — Hotel in Sarlat-la-Canéda

This is a lovely hotel in a great location. Easy access to Sarlat and Le.Clerec etc. Pool is lovely, location is quiet. Car required. The owner and staff are lovely and friendly. Very clean and beautiful.||BUT, there are some simple and cheap improvements that would make such a massive difference to anyone’s stay. ||What would make this hotel perfect would be tea and coffee making facilities in the room, a mini bar or fridge etc. ||I have never stayed in any hotel, b&b or Gite in any country that does not have the facility to make yourself a drink of any sorts. ||We arrived at 8:30pm from an hour and half flight and 2hr drive and we could not make a drink. Or even enjoy a bottle of water with a biscuit. ||The bar in the hotel closes around 9pm, sometimes earlier, the bar tariffs are very reasonable but the measures are very small. ||We would buy our own bottles of water and wine, beer and snacks so that once the bar closes we could still enjoy a drink but the weather was very hot so we could not chill the drinks and prevent the chocolate from melting. We bought ice and cool bags but this still was not adequate. ||If there was a refrigerated mini bar stocked with wine, beer, snacks, water etc we would have used it and been happy to pay. We bought quite a few bottles of wine from the bar during our stay. We would have paid a few extra ££ per night to enjoy coffee making facilities. ||The only other thing was that the beds and pillows were not the most comfortable. ||Despite my points raised above this is a fantastic hotel and we would return. Hopefully, when we do there will be drink facilities in the...

We have recently just stayed for a week at the Hotel Le Mas de Castel and it was fantastic. Roby and Karine were amazing hosts and were so nice to me and my husband - as I am pregnant. It really felt like a little family there. They even gifted me a bottle of wine to enjoy after the baby comes which was such a lovely thing to do and their kindness will stay with me for a long time. Breakfast was a lovely experience, sitting out in the sunshine overlooking the beautiful gardens. The food was very varied so you don't have to have the same thing every day! The whole hotel was very clean, our room was spacious and clean and the bathroom was very roomy - lovely. We slept very well every night in the peaceful surroundings! The pool is absolutely beautiful, a lovely temperature and kept so clean! The hotel itself is just five minutes drive from Sarlat centre and within an hour of countless beautiful medieval villages and towns - we visited somewhere new each day. I would recommend getting a car. All in all we cannot fault. I will be back next year when I can relax in the garden with our new addition and a nice, cold...

A really amazing place. So peaceful and relaxing and the hosts are so attentive to your needs. A superb pool and grounds, and so well situated to explore Sarlat and the amazing surrounding areas.

We all agreed saying it was one of our most favourite holidays and places, I would highly recommend!

The only thing I would suggest is to ask for a mini fridge when you book. There is no restaurant on site (they do a great breakfast though), so if you want to have some cold drinks or buy your own food rather than go to a restaurant every night, you'll need to request a fridge so you can store it all. We asked for one whilst we were there and they were very helpful in getting one for us, but I think it's best to ask in advance otherwise there may not be one available. (Note they also do a lovely charcuterie board if you want that in the evening, although you need to request it in the morning, but that's one way around not having a fridge)

Overall though we loved it and would definitely stay again if we're...
