We stayed at Chateau de Ternay for 2 nights in the family room. It was a beautiful place. The owners were friendly and hospitable, and provided a personal tour of the castle. The history of the place is very interesting. The castle grounds are extensive and just gorgeous. We walked through the woods accompanied by the 2 delightful dogs. You... More

If you are looking for something out of the ordinary beaten path, you are likely to find it at Château de Ternay. Don’t expected polished perfection, expect authenticity. No overwhelming tourist crowds, not a complete isolation but comfortable solitude. You will breathe in the air of “times past”, as unspoiled as it can be today. You’ll get to meet the... More

Traveling with our 8-year-old grandaughter, we had 4 wonderful days at Chateau de Ternay. Our grandaughter loved the resident animals and had fun wandering the estate. We loved our lovely huge rooms and the warmth and humor of our hosts, Loic and Caroline de Ternay, as well as their cooking for two (pre-booked) dinners. We would definitely stay at this... More

I used booking.com to make a reservation for two nights. In the reservation I added a question, if it was possible to get two separate beds instead of 1. The answer to that question was that it was not possible. If I wanted this, I should upgrade the reservation. So no problem so far. 2 weeks before the trip I... More

As others have noted, this is not a place for those who must travel haute luxe at all times--and may they stay away. This is a place for those who want to meet warm, genuine, honest people, and stay in their much loved home, which happens to be a weloming, fascinating, very comfortable chateau. Don't miss the tour of the... More

My mother and I stayed one evening with Carolin and Loic. We were very pleased with our hosts' friendliness, congeniality and warmth. Loic gave us a tour of the chateau (which has a wonderful history). Although the chateau is older, we were pleased to see that Carolin and Loic love their home and are trying to maintain the upkeep and... More

Be aware, there are 3 places called Ternay within 100 miles of each other and we drove to the wrong one due to the early start and a night on the ferry. We phoned and explained and and were guided to the right one by Carolin who was patient and kind, just be sure to type in post code 86120... More

The whole experience is great at the Chateau de Ternay. If you want to spend 500 euros a night to be pampered in the sumptuous luxury of a fully restored 19th century chateau, this is not for you. If you want to stay with a wonderful warm family in a chateau that dates principally from the 15th century (but has... More

Stayed 3 nights and the room was excellent with modern en suite bath facilities. Being an old cheateau the ceilings were high and the room large. Make sure that you receive a tour of the chateau with an explanation of its history. The Ternay's youmgest son (Louis) did this for us and it was a facinating hour. Caroline, our host,... More
