Reviews of Chambres d'Hôtes Manoir de Montecler 3 stars

A truly authentic Bed and Breakfast stay with Brigitte, a lovely host in a unique manoir "dans son jus" along the Loire river.

Classic Manoir a jump back to 19th century elegance. Overlooking the Loire. Excelent host. Good breakfast.

Faultless

The property was very interesting and the antique furniture was amazing. The breakfast was quite small but adequate and madam was on hand and attentive.

Tea and coffee facilities in the room, which was quite cramped, would have been good.

We had the charming tower room with a lovely view of the garden and the Loire river. The beds were very comfortable and the room was en-suite. The whole house was classicly furnished in a 19th century style with a beautiful dining room. We shared the table for breakfast with the other guests, including the charming hostess - something we enjoyed very much. The parking was very secure inside a locked gate.

We missed somewhere to put our clothes, but do realise that it was difficult to fit a wardrobe or chest of drawers in the tower room due to its shape and size.

The owner of this property changed my booking to a lesser room once I'd already booked. I was promised a private bathroom which was anything but and was told the shower was on the 2nd floor only when I arrived. Bizarrely I was asked to shower as soon as I arrived so as the other guests could use the facilities. After much discussion Parking was 1/4 mile away, not on the property, the bed was only 4ft long and I'm 6ft +. After expressing my disappointment, the owner agreed to refund me my money but has since retracted on this and refuses a refund. She took the money after I said I wasn't staying there; so has in fact; stolen my money. This woman is not to be trusted.

Everything in the end. Especially the owner; who fraudulently took my payment and will not return it.

It was a beautiful old mansion. The decorations were vantage style. It’s close to Loire River, with a big garden, and back to a forest. The hostess was trying her best to speak English.

There is no shower for my booking. She had to ask the gentleman upstairs to spare me his shower. Although the answer was yes, it was strange to ask me to wash in the basin after a few hours cycling. On booking it stated shared showers. The bread was not fresh. There were plenty of jam though. There was no restaurant near by. There was no fridge facilities. She helped me to put a bottle of wine and some food in her private fridge. The glamorous photo of the beautiful dining table is private too.

very friendly host, good location and breakfast. totally secure parking. view over the river and quiet garden and rooms.

A different experience to what is usual and for that I was glad. There was no en-suite but not really a problem, toilet a short distance and shower on floor above. The venue and decor were more than compensation and I suspect Manoir de Montecler represents a form of travel that is dying out. The hostess was a delight.

Uncertain entry and exit arrangements if you have little French. Not sure if it was resolvable but as I didn't want to go out, it didn't matter.

I did not stay here.

I was charged, and keep getting messages telling me how much they enjoyed my company!
