My partner and I stopped after a long drive at this lovely looking hotel. We were looking forward to some good French wine on the terrace and a well cooked evening meal. The receptionist made us feel so unwelcome that we decided to walk out and seek a more friendly atmosphere which we found in Beaugency.

Having stayed here often on business the family demanded a visit.....so with a little trepidation we introduced 2 almost teens to this traditionally elegant hotel on the banks of the Loire. The children practised their French skills and the owners and their team were gracious and welcoming. The family suite was huge and dinner was (as always) superb - and... More

Very good hotel right on the banks of the Loire river. Rooms have been sympathetically modernised, but the bathroom could have done with a make-over as it was rather 1970's looking (though clean). Great food, with attentive service (even on arrival and departure).

On our way back to Holland, we decided to stay here again. After we did the same a couple of years ago. The location right along the Loire is superb. The reception at the desk could be a little friendlier and helpful, but that's the only setback. The staff in the restaurant and terrace is friendly and professional. The kitchen... More

This is probably the best hotel we have stayed in during our trips to France. This was our 5th visit to the hotel in 19 years and the best so far. The attention to detail is fantastic and the food is just brilliant - try the 34 euro menu, I defy anyone to find better value. Madame and Monsieur Abel... More

Manoir Bel Air is a the sort of French country hotel you always dream of finding but rarely do. It's in a lovely setting, backing right onto the Loire on the edge of a small village, but well enough off the road to be silent. It's surrounded by pleasant gardens, and has roomy common areas where you can sit and... More

A paradox to this wonderful hotel is the frosty reception. But in the evening we sat on the hotel's terrace and found the waiter and waitress in their restaurant, friendly and providing everyone with outstanding service. The excellent food is mouth-watering and beautifully presented. The hotel and its grounds are magnificent. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a wonderful... More

We enjoyed our stay in one of the older rooms. The house and property are beautiful and the room was large. The bathroom was clean and the bed comfortable enough. We were there for a friend's wedding and it was very loud on Saturday night. If there was anyone there trying to sleep at 2am I would have felt bad... More

Beautifull building, with style. The personel at reception we're unfriendly when they saw two men booked a double room. We stayed in room 38 with view on the river loire. the room was dark, old but clean. As was the bathroom ensuite which had not been modernised since the 80s. Biggest problem for me however was the bed. Exactly as... More
