Marcoux Vacation Rentals

"We have stayed in various French gites over the last 30 years and this one is perhaps the most underwhelming. It is compact, just big enough for four adults, however it only has 2 sunloungers and no comfortable outdoor chairs for sitting out in the sun.The kitchen is sparsley equipped - we bought a good knife for food preparation as the ones there were ancient and blunt, a butter dish, a teapot and a bread basket, all things every other gite we've stayed in have had and that I would consider essential. (We left these so it is now better equipped than we found it). The oven is a combi microwave, which worked adequately but is not the same as a proper oven, and whilst the induction hob was good, it only has 3 rings. Overall only just about adequate to cater for a family of four.The wifi and internet was 'flakey' at best with some devices able to get an internet connection whilst others couldn't. I think the router is in the adjoining onwers property so we were unable to hardwire any devices or add a booster.The lounge area on the mezzanine is not big enough to seat 4 people.My ended the holiday with a severe stomach bug, which the plumbing was not up to. The septic tank/pipework blocked several times, and with no equipment to deal with it I had to literally clear by hand :-( and to top it off the owner levied a charge of 40 to get it cleared on our departure! We spent more than that equipping the kitchen.Overall not somewhere I would rush to go back to."

"Exceptional location and superb hosts. Would totally recommend "

"Very smart hotel in pleasant grounds. Large, smart modern room. Very clean. Service very friendly and efficient. Food absolutely fantastic and very reasonably priced for Michelin star restaurant "

"The place is stunning ,the room big and modern with a large bathroom and a very comfortable bed We booked dinner at the restaurant and it was amazing Absolutely a beautiful place all around "

"Feurs is a small town and there is no character nor curb appeal to this hotel. A fresh paint job would increase the appeal. "

"This is the best place we have stayed on the 15 days of Europe travel. After choosing to stay in city centers we decided to stay in the country. This place is dead quiet, bed very comfortable, breakfast enjoyable, staff awesome, very clean and modern. It's a small place but everything was perfect and ease of use. We will be back to this little gem again soon. We would have stayed longer to explore the area with our bikes but we had to catch a flight home from Paris. Excellent bakery near by."

"Its a really neat/cool place to stay for a night. The chateau is a little run down (as expected as its construction started in 1231), but that adds to its charm. The hotel room was beautiful and clean. The only issue was pink/orange mould on the bottom of the shower curtain. We also had the best meal on our Southern France trip at a nearby restaurant (Authentique restaurant)."
