Breakfast was not at the level of hotel quality

Location and size for room

Lou Calen is a very special place offering a truly unique experience. The attention to detail in the extensive grounds and accommodation is exemplary. It is a sensory delight. The staff are wonderful and the food is outstanding especially at their amazing restaurant. I would highly recommend and we will definitely be back!

Food only available at certain times Would be helpful to have more casual style dining available more regularly and later in the evening

Excellent facilities, grounds and decour

We weren't informed when booking that the Secret Garden Restaurant (inside the grounds of the hotel) was closed on Wednesday & Thursday so we were not able to dine there which was disappointing.

The room and grounds are gorgeous and the staff are friendly. Lovely pool and gardens to explore as well as a tennis court.

Service in the dining room in the evening was very slow

Lovely breakfast, pool and grounds. Enjoyed walking in Cotignac

Breakfast is very expensive for what it is but we enjoyed going to the local bakery instead which is a short walk away. The pool is amazing but it would be great if it was easier to order drinks/food to the pool and if there was a more extensive menu. The hotel entrance when arriving by car is very difficult to find so be sure to read the instructions that the hotel sends you.

We visited Lou Calen for 5 nights for our mini honeymoon and it is so gorgeous! Perfect for what we wanted. The grounds are stunning and our room was beautiful. Very clean, well kept and good quality amenities. It was very relaxing and peaceful while also having the benefit of being in the centre of the village so we loved going out for dinner and drinks and then being able to retreat to our lovely room. The pool is so nice and we always found it to be quiet so plenty of sun loungers for everyone. The bed was probably the most comfortable hotel bed we’ve ever had. Love the focus on sustainability too. Cotignac itself is fantastic - a lovely little village, well worth visiting.

We were quite positively surprised by the hotel’s simply magnificemt estate. It all started with the very first impression, the warm welcome we received from the recepcionist. Our rooms were perfect and decorated with real taste. The estate is at short foot walking distance to one of the most charming villages we ever visited. We will come back one day, for sure!

Fantastic hotel a short walk from a great selection of restaurants. Don't miss the Market (I think on a Tuesday). Hotel was beautiful, super comfortable rooms and amazing pool. Love who eco conscious they are too. All in all great stay with amazing staff, can't recommend highly enough.

Property was excellent. Staff (especially Antony) were great and couldn’t have done more to make our stay perfect. Loved all the facilities with the grounds extremely beautiful and well kept

This place is a gem, swimming pools ,1 just for adults hidden restaurant, vines, a goat or 2, gardens, plants

The place and staff were amazing. The place is unbelievable, especially if you have any interest in regenerative agriculture or permaculture. The lady on the desk was unbelievably helpful and the other staff too, super professional, super friendly, and super good at their jobs. Room was like a little flat, clean, big comfy and modern bed and room and shower and room. A bit pricey but would strongly recommend

We did not know how to locate the hotel itself within the Lou Calen enclave.

The elegance and simplicity and supreme comfort.

mixture of new & old - lovely location - the staff could not have been more welcoming

Limited hot water for showers. Extortionate taxi fares. 30 euros for 8 minute ride ( though that was not the hotels fault ) A little difficult to understand the layout of the hotel and its different accommodation when booking.

Standard french breakfast. Great location. Beautiful pool. Wonderful views Lovely gifts. Water bottles, hats etc.

Considering the cost the breakfast we still find very poor. We stayed in 4 places in the 14 days we were in France and Lou Calen breakfast was by far the worst. For a hotel of this price point and breakfast cost they really need to start offering hot items and a kitchen to cook eggs or meat as guests request. To have a basic continental breakfast and some microwave scramble eggs isn't ideal.

All of our wedding stayed in Lou Calen during our wedding at Chateau Robernier. We stayed there a few nights after. The rooms are spacious - especially the top level rooms in the small turret and the cave bedroom and shower. The pool area is wonderful and the location is superb. The water bottles and room amenities are also great and the staff are courteous when you can find them.

The location is stunning. A very short walk to the little town with plenty of restaurants. The pool is lovely with enough beds for all guests.

Towel change is a extra charge, no place to buy drinks during the day in the hotel, basic breakfast.

The staff where friendly & welcoming

Nothing really.

The location was wonderful. I love Cotignac and had wanted to stay at Lou Calen for some time. We went for a very special Wedding Anniversary (delayed for 2 yrs because of COVID) - we’d had to cancel our first booking.The food at the Secret Garden restaurant was amazing!
