Manoir de Longeveau
Pillac, Nouvelle-Aquitaine 16390, France +33 5 45 98 55 13
We highly recommend staying at Longveau. We used Longveau as our base when choosing our wedding venue back in 2019 and the quality of the accommodation was exceptional. The rooms were stunning and the site offers great amenities with a resort golf course, tennis courts, swimming pools, children playgrounds and bike hire. It is in a great location as it is only 10 minutes from the Chateau and we can arrange transport to and from here on the wedding day. Typically you have to block book 7 nights accommodation here, however the owners have kindly offered our wedding guests the opportunity to opt to stay for 3 nights only for a reduced rate. If contacting Longveau please ask for Julie.

Air BnB
We would also advise to have a look on Air BnB for those who maybe want to avoid hotels or B&Bs and go for a self catering option. There is a good variety of local beautiful homes in the area that are available to rent for the long weekend. We would advise to exercise due diligence when booking and review proximity of accommodation to Chateau and other areas you may want to visit during your stay in France.

www.booking.com
Anywhere we have travelled before, we have always used Booking.com when searching for the best accommodation. Just search the area your travelling to for the dates you will be there and browse through the available options. We have never felt mislead whilst using Booking.com but make sure and always have a good read through the reviews as they always tell the full story.
