Chateau de La Borde sur Ussel

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

A very charming, very welcoming young couple. A cuisine worthy of a very good refined chef A very pretty, well decorated place. Valerie

Very nice place for a stopover or a short stay! Very friendly welcome, quality of the rooms, service, breakfast. to do again to visit the surrounding countryside!

Very good address where you can stay in a magnificent and well-appointed space. Note a small leak in the bathroom which remains to be repaired but I think the place has been well renovated in view of the overall comfort. The service is rather lacking and this is the negative point of the place. More than reasonable prices. The hotel deserves 5 stars because the dishes are so good and indescribable!! We really enjoy the flavors and for that alone it’s worth the detour!
