Pros +
- great stopping point on a road trip. comfortable, two restaurants to choose from, clean facilities and no surprises—except for a lovely garden area. morning coffee there was bliss.
- A very professionally run family owned hotel, with friendly and efficient staff. The whole building is delightful. The restaurant in particular was really very good with a high level of quality and service.
- This was our second stay as we had enjoyed this beautiful hotel so much the year before. Lovely big bedroom overlooking the quiet street, fabulous pool and a beautiful big garden going down to a little river. Dinner is the full works with lots of interesting dishes and amuse bouche etc. This tile we ate inside as it was too cool for the lovely terrace. However, the dining room is a treat in itself as it has modern painted panels on the ceiling and is light. airy and really quite stunning. Breakfast was also lovely.
Cons -
- Not applicable.
- The dinner included in the price was far too limited. The restaurant is clearly popular, and was very busy for a Monday night. The standard menu was lovely, but we were told we couldn’t have anything on it, and that our menu was vegetable quiche, steak and ice cream!!We ended up splashing out on the La carte menu and paying more. I think if you offer dinner in the cost then the client should be able to have a few choices from the standard menu.
- That it is so far away from where I live!

Beautiful location, super pretty garden, lovely staff, top class food
There was not much to see in the village but we stayed here on the way to and from our holiday destination and the hotel worked perfectly for us. The rooms were lovely, the service friendly and efficient and the food was delicious. It didn't feel like just somewhere to break the journey; it felt like part of our holiday.

Great hotel with lovely interiors. being in interior design myself, I really thought it was very stylish without forgetting French style.

Peaceful hotel with pretty gardens and pool. Very helpful and pleasant staff. Delicious evening meal. Interesting goat noises! It's well placed within 2 hours' drive of the ferry from Caen.
This is our third time to this quiet peaceful hotel. Since we last came here it has been upgraded. The gardens were beautiful, the rooms exceptionally comfortable, the food sublime and the staff amazingly charming and helpful.
That it is so far away from where I live!
Wonderful huge grounds with a gorgeous swimming pool. River runs at bottom of the pretty garden. Delicious food for dinner and breakfast. Great service. Our room was lovely with a big terrace on the first floor and a basket provided for the dog (which in the end we had not brought). A real gem of a hotel.
The dinner menu was slightly over elaborate food but still wonderful
Lovely hotel, great room, lovely grounds and first class food.
The rooms have been tastefully decorated and the gardens were nice.
The bed was particularly hard and the pillows were lumpy, a shame at the rest of the hotel is lovely. The restaurant was closed the night we stayed so we ate in the bistro. The meal was not particularly good were expecting better as the restaurant is highly regarded.
Tastefully decorated, respectful of the historic vibes. Beautiful house, friendly staff, peaceful garden… the restaurant is the star of the show though! Absolutely must dine there. We had a Fantastic evening.
Nothing it was perfect!
Easy to get to, fabulous food, very comfy bed, clean , great shower, very pleasant staff...What more do we need???
That we had to leave for England that day!
Very friendly welcome. Large, comfortable, quiet room, beautiful garden and pool. And the restaurant was really excellent.
quirkiness wonderful restaurant lovely staffswimming pool and gardenslocation
beautiful elegant hotel and gardens, set in a picturesque French village near Le Mans.
spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. M Deschamps and all the staff were excellent and the restaurant had a variety of menus to suit all tastes and pockets
A very tranquil setting and a beautiful old building. Lovely gardens which was very god for our dog to explore. Beautiful bar and dining room. Staff very helpful.
No air conditioning. Car parking was on the street in a few spaces opposite the hotel so not private/secure and if full then you would have to park in the square a bit further up.
This is a lovely hotel in the heart of the very pretty town Loue. We ate at the bistro of the hotel as the main restaurant is closed on a Monday and the Bistro food was excellent. The hotel breakfast was excellent too. We were travelling with our dogs and were given a first floor room with a terrace which meant they had additional space which was great.The hotel is beautifully decorated and furnished.Highly recommended and we hope to stay here on our journey home in November
Nothing to fault
A wonderful traditional French hotel with a beautiful dining room and lovely bedrooms with a very comfy bed. The owners were so welcoming and friendly, especially as we had our 2 dogs with us.We ate at both the bistro and in the main hotel dining room and had 2 different but amazing meals.
The room was lovely and the grounds were very pretty. The staff were incredibly friendly and efficient. It was a great stopover coming from the south. It was incredibly pleasant and atmospheric. The food in the restaurant was fantastic. Not cheap. But far better than the Michelin star restaurant in fontevraud. Well worth the money.
There was no air conditioning. It was very stuffy in the rooms facing the west in the evening. But we were given a fan and when night fell the air cooled down a lot. So this not a huge drawback. But i failed to notice when booking there was no air con. In the end i am glad i didn’t as it was a lovely hotel.
