Chateau La Chaire

"We stayed here for 1 night last weekend as we wanted to be near St Catherine's We booked a lazy sunny package (we hadn't paid attention to what it included!) We didn't realise this included Afternoon Tea and Dinner ! It's a really curious place. Like others have mentioned it's really hard to contact the place in advance by phone. In fact emails were not answered either; I did wonder if the place at gone bust! I finally got a reply via Instagram! When you get there you realise what an unusual place it is. Delightful building with grand Edwardian Decor . It's run by a very small number of staff and you see very few other guests around. The portuguese lady on reception served the bar and Dinner We loved the atmosphere at dinner but the menu was a bit strange essentially veal calf vs pork belly . The jersey scallops were very nice I had a bit of a fawlty towers moment at breakfast when I declared the Kipper was orf! Overall very unusual but very special"

"We had a wonderful time here. Ok. It’s an old building and if you want pristine and air con. Go elsewhere. But if you want old world charm. This is the place for you. Katrina’s welcome and general care was fantastic. From a port on arrival through champagne, scones and clotted cream to a night time cognac. We were looked after with style. We were there on a Wednesday when the restaurant was closed but the Rozel Just down the road is a lovely eatery associated with the hotel. The trio of lamb is a bit special."

"What an amazing stay at a wonderful location. Staff were exceptional, room was fantastic and the food was great. Mini Wellington, perfect, breakfast very good and wine list was on point. Genuine staff who focused on attention to detail and a warm welcome. They are planning on opening for weekday lunch soon, well worth a visit. A real mix of tradition and new concepts. Thank you."
