Le Manoir De La Giraudière

The bed was comfortable and the room a decent size.

They didn’t clean our room and made out that it was our fault for leaving the ‘please clean the room’ hanger on the door! We were in room 21 which had a terrace over which room 22 had to pass (right next to our window) to get to their door. The decor is all very dark and dated and there was an odd, not very pleasant smell in the corridor throughout our stay.

The hotel is an attractive old manor the rooms had been refurbished and were of good size clean comportable breakfast buffet excellent.

The resaurant is closed on fris Sat and Sunday we would not have booked if we had known this as we had to drive to town for dinner.If this is important to you check before booking. Also unable to pay by card as his machine was not working elderly man on reception unhelpful and demanded cash when a phone call could have put it rightwe were not only ones with this problem.

This was our 3rd visit so we knew what to expect and weren't disappointed, except by the fact that during our stay (Sat/Sun) the restaurant was closed.

A lovely room - sympathetically restored & appointed

A hotel of great character in a good setting. The evening meal was lovely and the breakfast was good.

Not much sound proofing between rooms.

The hotel had a lovely garden out the back which would be great if you are travelling with children or wanted to relax with a book under the tree.

The staff were quite incompetent and unfriendly. We had specifically requested a double bed when we originally booked and were told that they didn't have any double rooms available so we had to stay in two single beds! They did not even offer to push the beds together to and make it as one double. There wasn't much information on the Loire Valley at the hotel. Only really Chinon. It took quite a bit of time to get to Blois and Chambord. We estimate 1 and a half hours so if you're going just for the weekend we'd suggest staying closer to that area. Also we booked this hotel because it had WIFI but it did not work in our room.
