A fantastic gem of a property in a wonderful location. Great for a stop on our journey home from the South of France but it would be a super place to stay to explore the surrounding area.

Very slow service. Over priced and fussy dinner menu. Dogs roaming in grounds and within dining room!

Mixed feelings. Lovely chateau, in quiet location. Lovely pool. Poor wine choice of good wine by the glass. Overall it lacked finesse. Also, it was overshadowed by the owners dog, a great dame attacking ours unprovoked and unexpectedly. The owner didn’t even later check if our dog was fine. Apparently his dog doesn’t like small dogs! Would have been good to know this sooner as Priya was wondering around the reception and dining area.

Food at the restaurant was excellent, extremely high quality. All the staff were very helpful and welcoming. Our room was lovely, but we did have a problem with no hot water on our first morning that took about an hour to get sorted. Went to shower in the late afternoon and the same issue again. Checked with the front desk and an engineer couldn't get to sort it until after 6pm, as we were eating at 7pm we had to have cold showers. We were planning on using the fitness room both days but it's a really small room and the equipment could do with servicing, so we only used it on one day. Bit of a disappointment that I'm sure can be sorted for the future.

Love this place, can't get enough of it. Came with my daughter on way to the Alps. Perfect location. Every time I stay here I get wonderful treatment from all the staff. The spa area is beautiful and so relaxing after a long journey. Dinner amazing as usual and to top it all we were yet again upgraded !! Roll on next trip.

Again we had the perfect time. Really feel spoilt at this wonderful Chateaux Hotel. Upgraded again to a beautiful junior suite T top of house. Perfect from start to finish. Amazing evening meal and breakfast. Looking forward to next stay.

This wonderful chateau hotel is a very favourite of ours. We were greeted with an upgrade before even asking! Hospitality was perfect. The evening food was delightful and the breakfast as usual was fantastic with champagne if you wished. Looking forward to next visit in a few days.

Lovely, cosy , welcoming, homely feel. Friendly helpful staff. Great for pet friendly stays. we only stayed overnight though en route so breakfast times not suitable for early departure . The restaurant has a lovely ambience, excellent service, also very good at accommodating allergen free requirements, but although beautiful presentation of food the price/expectation didn't match. Certainly no wow factor or something I couldn't do myself. Bed large and very comfortable but one pillow insufficient and no extra blanket for cold weather. Wore my fleece to bed.

The stay was pleasant but we were unlucky as room 10 is noisy as it was above the door to the swimming pool which shut with a large thud - so an afternoon nap was not possible. The rest of the stay was excellent with dinner being a highlight with the fabulous Clement who is the absolute the best in the world for cooking a Crêpes Suzette in front of the table - very very special and we’ve had many around the world!!!! Thanks Clement for an unforgettable experience!!! Outdoor hot tubs were a bit tired and not quite hot enough with headrests missing, but the room was great with everything you needed. All in all a good stay and a nice evening spent to break the journey back to Blighty!

Charming location. Very well kept. Excellent food in an elegant dining room

Restful stopover venue

As the author of the Hotel Marketing Bible, I have stayed in thousands of hotels. This one will make my list of favorites. It has lovely grounds, attentive staff, well-appointed rooms, and magnificent food. It was so nice I stayed an extra day, and I will no doubt return :)

Lovely small chateau with good facilities and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended

I have visited Domaine de Barive quite a few times over the last few years and if I had to list the wonderful facilities the perfect staff the amazing rooms the dynamic food !!! there would never be a room available for me for my next visit. This place only gets better and my favourite room is ??? looking forward already to my next visit next week. Josephine Stafford

Lovely property in a quiet area.

An immaculate hotel with a fine interior and gardens. The wine selection was overpriced hence the stay was more expensive than it could have been.

Overall great experience! We found that the reception staff was not as friendly or accommodating as they could have been. The breakfast buffet was very good. Our first night dinner was interesting, but the main course meat was overly fatty and uneatable. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. Thank you

We have stayed at the hotel many times.. A very relaxing retreat. Excellent dining within the hotel.

Absolutely loved this beautiful property. Wonderful staff, stunning grounds and the room was exceptionally well appointed. We travelled with our dog, who could run around in their enclosed garden. The food was also fantastic. We definitely plan to stay again!

Third visit to this beautiful hotel. Each time gets better. Booked our usual de-luxe room and were upgraded to a wonderful junior suite! The food is dynamic and even a glass of champagne at breakfast if you so wish it which I did!!! 😁
