    Manoir De Ponsay is a fabulous stay for experiencing a manor house and farm. Highlights are the views, the countryside, and the breakfast. We chose it also for location to access Puy de Fou for a day trip.

    The property was stunning and characterful and full of history. The hosts were very welcoming. The breakfast was lovely, and included delicious home made cakes. We would stay here again without a doubt.

    Gorgeous old Manor House, very sympathetically decorated with a huge amount of character. Beautifully set in acres of rolling countryside. Our room was huge and each one is decorated in a unique design. It was very comfortable and clean. ...

Company information

The Experience from Sawday's : The family manor, a listed building, goes back to 1492: note the coat of arms over the door. Now both castle and hotel are run generously, and singlehandedly, by charming young Laurent, who was born here, and his Romanian wife Orelia. Outside is one of the oldest dovecotes in France, a peaceful pool and a hot tub, a tiny sauna, table tennis and bikes; the grounds are open and safe, the meadows stretch to the horizon. Inside, a dignified room for candlelit feasts, a sitting room with billiards and a tapestry or two, a priest’s hole for hiding revolutionaries, should any lurk, and a massive stone stair. This sweeps you up to five characterful suites, historic, traditional, their long windows overlooking the park, their armoires polished to perfection, their chintz bright, their fireplaces lit (when required); the ‘Chambre à Baldequin’ has an exquisite four-poster and there’s fine new Italian-style shower in the largest room. Dinner is prepared, served and hosted by Laurent and Orelia; special wines can be ordered from the cellar. Beyond, the summer extravaganzas at Puy du Fou draw a million spectators a year.
