Wonderful place

Reviewed By Robert S

We stayed for 1 night on 30/3/22 and had a fabulous time. From the moment you enter the characterful and lovingly restored building, you are made to feel very welcome. Rafael and Diane are fantastic hosts, down to earth, relaxed and warm. The bedroom was stylish, airy, bright and spotlessly clean. The dining room is beautiful and really cosy, they had a fire lighting when we went in. Rafael prepared a delicious, fresh, well presented meal for us, washed down with an excellent Pinot Gris which was suggested by Diane. We've stayed at many places in France and the rest of Europe and this is right up there and deservedly so. So book here if you're planning on coming to the island. The only negative, we only stayed one night. Robert & Sarah.

Small hotel with great view of the ocean

Reviewed By ElocinIla

I had booked for 2 nights the "Chambre de charme - #2 Chambre double vue mer". I arrived one day earlier as planned and booked directly at the reception the last room available for the night, a small single room. The receptionist was friendly, helpful and showed me the room. It was very small, perfectly clean, comfortable bed but the downside was the noise from the other rooms. My room with the balcony was perfect, also very clean plus a modern bathroom and the lovely balcony (deck chair, small table and chair) with great view of the ocean. The walls in that part of the hotel must be different, as there was hardly any noise. I did not have breakfast or any other meal in the restaurant as the terrasse had been closed (outside the season apprently only serviced on the weekends) and I wanted to sit outside.

Chateau de Beaulieu

Chateau de Beaulieu is a beautiful and romantic 18th-century castle nestled in the middle of a park with hundred-year-old trees, and situated just 200 meters from the banks of the Loire River and 2.5km from the lovely town of Saumur. Listed as a 'Monument Historique' by the French Ministry of Culture, Chateau de Beaulieu is recognised for its light and elegant architecture. At the chateau you can enjoy French billiards, or a swim in the heated pool set amongst the vine rows of the vineyard.Dr & Mme Coady-Maguire purchased Chateau de Beaulieu in 2003, and guests can be assured of a warm and friendly welcome to their home.

The personal touch makes it special

Reviewed By nitae100

During our 2021 Loire valley road trip we stayed at the Chateau de Beaulieu for two nights and had a wonderful time. What made the experience stand out was the kindheartedness and helpfulness of our hosts that radiates throughout the whole place and provides it with a wonderful warm atmosphere. Staying at Beaulieu, therefore, felt not like staying at an anonymous hotel but rather being welcomed into a family home. Premise Nice old Chateau that feels cozy and lively at the same time. The first floor of the main building contained the breakfast room, a billiard room and a sitting area with lots of books, providing the whole building with a personal touch and lovely décor. We also enjoyed the big garden and the swimming pool with sun loungers that provided ample opportunity to relax after a long day of driving and visiting the area. Parking was included and there was plenty of space for the car as well. Drive to Saumur is short, one could even walk. Watch for the sign for the Chateau as our rental car’s GPS did not quite find the exact spot. Room Spacious standard room with a comfortable bed and charmingly decorated, so one felt like staying in a Chateau as you’d imagine it. Big windows provided a nice view. Bathroom was big as well. Walls were soundproof and the free wifi on the slower side. Breakfast Definitely one of the highlight breakfasts of our trip! It is served around one big table in the dining room, which creates a homey atmosphere as you can interact with the other travelers. We were served freshly baked Croissants, Yoghurt, baguette and cheese and fresh fruit. Hospitality Mary and Connor are wonderful and very welcoming hosts and we had a lovely time chatting with them. They saved us from becoming homeless for a night by sorting out our booking mistake without any fuss. Their recommendations for food very impeccable, so do listen to them.

Nice hotel, nice hosts, nice breakfast and dinner....

Reviewed By nicolaas m

This is a very nice place to stay although some rooms are older. But these rooms are very clean and functional. Good beds and good bath/shower. They are renovating the hotel step by step and they (the owner who does it by himself) is doing a wonderful job. There is a large swimming pool, 2 tennis fields and on site bicycle rent. The beach is right next door about 100 metres. This is a nice, easy and comfortable hotel where they will do everything to make you happy.

The charming 18th century Château de Chambiers welcomes you in its ravishing parks and gardens counting with a beautiful swimming pool opened during summer days. The decoration is refined and calm assured. The owners Elie and Anne open the doors of their private family home where hospitality, conviviality and French art de vivre are key values.

Beautiful and peaceful

Reviewed By TravelBug996

We only stayed one night in the room / small building off the main castle. It was paradise. The room when you come in has a wood fireplace, then the stunning bathroom, and beautiful bedroom upstairs. SO UNIQUE! Pictures on their website are accurate. The breakfast was plentiful and made with local products. The owners were very friendly, accommodating and welcoming. Thank you!

Lori and Gavin welcome you to their elegant and comfortable guest house, peacefully situated in the centre of Le Lude, France. Local shops, bars and restaurants are within easy walking distance and the famous Le Lude Chateau with its gardens along the banks of Le Loir is only two minutes along the road.

Lovely place with character. Interesting decor

We stopped here on our return from the South to Caen and it was a lovely place. The pool was warm and clean, the pillows fluffy and all amenities good. It was also nice to have jam made with figs from the garden as an option with the breakfast. A warm welcome too.

Disappointing welcome!

Reviewed By Aubert v

We phoned the property the morning of our arrival to ask for availability, which they had. We were asked to make the reservation through their booking system, which we did on our telephone. We came from the Loire area and did arrive around 14.00 hours. At the gateway Catherine (owner) told us in a pretty rude way that we were not welcome before 17.00 hrs. This we should have known because it is mentioned in the PDF of the booking confirmation. You will find it in a document on page 4 of the 12 PDF pages. We didn’t see this as we were glad we could read the main confirmation on our phone. We asked if we could use the pool or drop some of our luggage, this was not possible. With some vague remarks about Covid - 19 and cleaning we were send off. We completely understand that Covid-19 is a serious matter but as a host you should first welcome your guests and than explain they cannot enter the property. Which is in my opinion already a strange situation. Furthermore, on departure day you have to leave the property at 10.30. It would have been convenient if arrival and departure times were mentioned properly at the reservation form. The accommodation is clean, comfortable and well maintained. We had a nice room at the first floor with a spacious terrace. The wc and bathroom are on the corridor for our own use. The guesthouse is very well organized, and that’s also an issue, you never had the feeling you were welcome and free to move. Every single thing has its own spot on the property and it feels that the maintenance of the property is more important than the guests. My partner and I worked for many years in the touristic industry and travelled a lot. We both wish that Catherine and Bastien can loosen up and relax a bit, cause the property is worth it.
