Reviews of Le Tilleul de Ray

The location was much, much, better than expected. The hosts were wonderful, we arrived a little early, because the traffic was less and no unforeseen traffic jams. No problem! The room was easy to access. A really sunny and hot weekend, but the room was cool, with full blackout blinds and insect nets. Well done. Comfy beds. Quiet. The hosts welcomed us warmly and arranged reservations in the local cafe (amazing cheese and wine evening - twice a year - 5 mins walk) for us. Our hosts were: Honest. True. Correct. There was even fresh bed linen on the beds and clean towels in the bathroom (the WHOLE OF DENMARK are you listening? YES! The rest of the world provides linen and towels without you having to drive 160km to collect bed linen, and 160km to deposit it, and 16€ per person to do so - unlike Novasol-Denmark). WiFi = fast with excellent coverage, no outages: 525Mbps download, 392Mbps upload. Accommodation = Very cozy. Very clean. Proper job. Double plus wow. Totally recommended, could stay for 2+ weeks. We will be back (but it'll probably be fully booked, because this accommodation is that good). Breakfast was substantial, tasty, set us up well for the day. Thank you.

Nothing. Everything was better than expected. This accommodation is (ssshhh, don't tell anyone, this accommodation is that good!) awesomely perfect! Because, Novasol - (Denmark) - has not been involved... in any way, or any other way, or in another way that you were not expecting. Fortunately here you deal with the real owners directly, and the owners are wonderful! And helpful. And not AI, nor a dullard obese blob of an indifferent corporation = Thus these owners are human and lovely! This is a perfect holiday location. Avoid Danish Novasol. Instead, visit France! The French are friendly hosts and provide bed linen and hand towels. Unlike Danish Novasol. Imagine a restaurant that does not provide plates with meals, or bowls with soup, or glasses with wine?! This imagination is a perverse reality in Novasol's Denmark a Bed & Breakfast = no bed linen, no towels = because ^shrug^ that's how we do things with Novasol in Denmark. Whereas... France is wonderful! The French (akin to the rest of the world) provide a bed with linen. What a novel concept, a bed you can sleep in! A bathroom with towels! Danish Novasol is evil; with evil cherries on top; sprinkled with a garnish of evil hatred. Enough said. This accommodation is not Novasol. Thus this accommodation is good. Moreover, this accommodation is better than good. Head for Ray-sur-Saône (unless Novasol is in the Ray-sur-Saône, in which case... AVOID NOVASOL - Novasol resulted in making my mum cry on her 77th birthday. If you are hard of thinking, then in a nutshell - this place is awesome. Book it now. Wonderful owners. Excellent location. And (above all) NOT Novasol. AND furthermore (because the French are not dimwitted unlike the Novasol-Danes) then the beds have bed linen! OMG! Welcome to the 21st century!

Breakfast & host was amazing

Nothing

The welcome, the room, the arrangement for the evening meal, the breakfast, the facilities. Exceptional quality.

The host was friendly, very welcoming and had organised food to be brought in for us because the local restaurant was going to be closed. Communal areas were large enough that we could still have our own privacy. Communal kitchenette was more than adequate. Swimming pool was very refreshing on such a hot day. Our room was beautiful.

There was nothing we didn't like.

Everything was fabulous. Starting with a warm welcome from Stephanie. The room was spacious, well designed and the bed super comfortable. A superb place to relax after a day of cycling. I would highly recommend staying here.

Nothing to dislike.

Everything was really well.

The landlady had an excellent command of English, which I have found to be extremely rare in the hospitality industry in France Plus the home made breakfast was scrumptious

Absolutely Nothing

Great property in rural France, in a peaceful location. Amazing host that was very attentive and all the facilities you would need. Wish we had a few more days to stay; would definitely recommend.

Room is nice, comfy and clean. Breakfast is made from local ingredients and was really tasty. Stephanie is very nice and trying to help you with everything. I just feel as part of her family ❤️

The most hospitable place evere.

Loved everything about this lovely guest house. Stefanie is a wonderful host and our room was spacious and homey with a great shower. After cycling all day, a swim in the pool felt heavenly. Nice breakfast, too!

A beautiful home and garden, spacious and comfortable. The host was very obliging and communicated well. Very good for cyclists with lock up storage for bikes. Delicious breakfast included and dinner was arranged for us as town restaurant was closed on night of our stay.

Nothing.

Stephanie was a great host, and it’s a lovely property. Particularly loved sitting in the garden and in the common area inside. Enjoyed eating dinner and breakfast with the other guests. Lovely breakfast.

Very nice place, nice people, very comfy room. The nearby park by the river, the castle, the local restaurant ... everything within walking distance.

Stéphanie was a wonderful host who went over and above to make our stay as pleasant and easy as possible. We had cycled through a rainy day and she washed and dried our damp clothes. She suggested and made dinner reservations at the local restaurant which was perfect. The room and shower were impeccable and breakfast was delicious.

Everything was amazing!

We arrived quite late, like 2 hours after the check-in timeframe but it was no problem. We had a very warm welcome by Stephanie. She had even prepared two baby beds for our children. The breakfast was perfect.

The location is a bit remote, but it was perfect for us on the way back to home after a vacation on the southern coast of France.

Wonderful stay in a very peaceful rural location. The host was very welcoming. A great meal at chez Yvette just down the road. A great stopover through France and would definitely return if in the area again

We enjoyed our previous stay here so much that we made sure it was on our route this year. Located in a very pretty village, room was large as was bathroom. Access to lounge and small kitchen to make drinks. Excellent breakfast with home made preserves and yoghurt.

Nothing

Lovely room in a nicely renovated older house. Modern bathroom and comfy bed. Our host Stephanie was very helpful and welcoming and cooked dinner for us as the local restaurant was closed. There is a kitchenette available for guests to cook basic meals and to make tea or coffee.
