Le Petit Chateau Inn

The first thing that we noticed about this B&B was the obvious must odor that permeated the entire house. We were told that locking the outside doors was left up to the guests! Last one in? The room was reasonably clean but missing some amenities. One night there was a nice touch of hand-made soap for the shower - the next it was missing and no substitute provided. There was a lack of any place to put toiletries in the bathroom so we moved towels to a rack to make room for things. The next day those towels were moved onto our bed. TV was old and poorly located for comfortable viewing from the bed. The chair in the room was horribly low to the floor making it difficult to get out of. Breakfast wasn't started - until ALL guests in the B&B arrived. Coffee went first to the inn keepe

I have to say that this B & B was the worst that I have ever experienced. This is primarily due to the pervading stench of mold and mildew. After a day of touring there was a feeling of dread to have to experience that smell again. Returning home our clothing and suitcases reeked. There is certainly a moisture issue in the home which makes one wonder how healthy it is to spend time there. Members of our group have breathing issues and I was concerned for their health. The smell permeated the worn bedding and flat pillows. The moisture in the basement required a sump pump that made sleeping difficult for those in the downstairs room. The owner was kind enough to turn off the pump, but then left the basement door open all night, an open invitation for animals to invade. Not able to

The location is great and the innkeeper very personable and sweet and did leave cheese (Laughing Cow & BabyBel) and French wine each evening and cookies after dinner however that was not enough to overcome the negatives. You could say I was disgruntled because I spent over $500 for 2 nights but I really wanted to like it. I genuinely feel bad and believe the innkeeper may be in over her head trying to manage the inn and another job and probably could use some assistance. As soon as you walk in the door you know you are in an old home by the overwhelming musty and dusty smell. The bar of soap in the downstairs powder room was dried out and black with mold in the cracks. Some of the headboards looked like they were repurposed outdoor furniture cushions. There was dust and cobwebs throu

Staying at other B&B's and comparing them to La Petit Chateau Inn it does need some TLC. As stated, an old farmhouse that in person looks a bit different from the website. Valerie, the owner was very sweet and extremely helpful but the property needs some work. The breakfasts are plain and contrary to the website are not made by CIA students. Valerie made breakfast each morning. Our room was clean and the bathroom modern. Updating the draperies and bedding would definitely be a major improvement.
