Guesthouse at the Farm at Saint-Fargeau castle

Has anyone had any experience staying at the chambre d'hote at the Ferme du Château de Saint-Fargeau? I was only able to find limited information on the official website, scrounged up a few additional pictures on the Guedelon website (same ownership, I gather), but the interwebs seem to be failing me for further details and reviews. From my limited French and Google Translate, it appears to be a one-room affair, suitable for two to three people, €60 /night for two people including breakfast. Slightly alarmingly, it seems that the bathroom is open to the bedroom. I would be staying with my boyfriend and while we are pretty relaxed overall, I'm not sure we are "there" yet in our relationship to be staying in rooms where the toilet has no door!

Appreciate if anyone could share feedback on their experiences here, including whether they were able to easily communicate with the hosts. We are determined to visit Guedelon, and St-Fargeau seems to be a good home base, plus a castle farm guesthouse seems like a wonderful, unique experience if only I could get a few more details. I suppose I could always call or email and try out my terribly rusty highschool French, but wanted to check here first. Thanks in advance!

I was not able to see photos of the Chambre d'Hote rooms, but would be surprised if a bathroom door was missing. Their photos for the Gite Touristique do show a door. Their La Cabane space is still under construction, according to text. Looks like a fun experience!

Thank you, Laura! I wasn't able to verify whether the bathroom is missing a door from pics, so I am going off this mysterious sentence from their website: "La sdb est ouverte sur la chambre." But yes, seems like a wonderful rural French farm experience with a medieval twist. Definitely unique! (Quick, everyone visit before Rick finds it and writes about it! Joking, joking....)
