Le Prieure., 49350 Chènehutte-les-Tuffeaux (Show map) Very good, Score from 70 reviews“Beautiful building in a very peaceful spot. Our room wasn't large but I think it was one of the cheapest, however it had a fantastic view over the Loire. Expensive meal in the restaurant but one of the best we had while in France. Worth it for a treat. All staff seemed to be fluent in English.”

Our charming manor house dating from the 12th and 16th centuries, looks out over the Loire River and its islands. This is the place to stay for anyone on a culinary Tour de France. In the distance is King René's 15th century fairytale castle dominating this pastoral scene and the medieval town of Saumur. Gleaming white, Le Prieuré has a stately presence with its vast chimneys and imposing towers as it stands proudly within its 62-acre wooded park that extends down to the river. The interiors have a spacious grandeur with a wonderful spiral staircase, great carved fireplaces, canopied beds and antique furniture. The hotel boasts a creative cuisine in the finest culinary tradition of Angers. The area is famous for its mushrooms that come from the nearby Tufa caves; salmon, perch and eel from the river; and excellent local wines: Saumur, Anjou, Layon and Champigny, a delightful méthode champenoise. Hotel Rooms: 36, Hotel Chain: Grandes Etapes Françaises.

Driving up to Le Prieure is magical. The grounds are wonderful and the views breathtaking. The bathrooms at least in the classical superior castle rooms (we were upgraded which was nice) require updating.

The views over the Loire from Le Prieure are wonderful. The staff were helpful and curteous. I was a little disappointed by the options for vegetarians that the restaurant was able to offer. The carnivores in our party enjoyed the hors d’œuvres and amuse-bouche, but there was nothing to offer the vegetarian guest apart from a bread roll.

Superb location, great views, impressive public areas 1. The superior room we were offered on arrival was far from "superior". It was a small garret room with a lobby containing an additional bed. Presumably it was this space that made it "superior" though it was unusable except for the 3rd bed and so added no value for us. The room contained 2 small windows which one had to stand up to see out.When we complained we were moved to a suite at an extra charge of $40 per night. My understanding of this was that it was a deliberate ploy to force us to upgrade. 2. The spiral stairs make it difficult for people who are not very spritely!

The location is ideal to explore this part of the Loire valley (if one travels by car). Very helpful staff and a lovely room overlooking the river - overall a very relaxing atmosphere. But the highlight was no doubt the restaurant in every respect - the setting, the cooking, the choice of wines and the service. Not cheap, but absolutely worth it.

Wonderful location on the banks of the Loire. Our room (we were upgraded) had a huge terrace overlooking the river. Bathroom was a little old fashioned but perfectly acceptable. Charming staff and very good food and wine.

Efficient easy going staff. Stunning view of The Loire from our room. Gourmet dinner well up to standard (small portions!). We took our dog who was just as welcome and could have joined us for dinner if we had brought her into the dining room. It's looking slightly old and worn although that maybe the effect they are after. Very old building plumbing etc

The terrace outside our room had a fantastic view over the Loire, and the grounds were beautiful. We thought the hotel restaurant pretentious - it looked very pretty, but was in the nouveau cuisine mode, such that we were pretty hungry at the end of the meal. - For the amount charged, not good value

Excellent restaurant staff We were allocated one of the "cottages" in the grounds which was just a glorified motel room at 4 star prices. Apart from a splendid view from the bar & restaurant we fail to see how this hotel gets a 4 star rating. The food was good but a meal at the only restaurant in the village was equal to it and less than half the price. How anyone can justify 21 Euros per person for continental breakfast.

Great location with a beautiful view over the Loire. Very quiet environment. Pleasant room. We had a good dinner at the restaurant, but given in this price range, we had expected more exceptional cuisine. In the room next to the restaurant a concert took place with loud music we did not like.

The service-minded staff, the view from the restaurant. Excellent dinner and wines - we strongly recommend to choose the Menu Sensational with recommended wines. The waiter gave us excellent hints how to continue our trip in France. We followed his great advice - many thanks for him! The quality of our room in the basement floor did not full-fill our expectations. When booking this hotel we recommend to check and confirm the room location (upper floors and quality level).The double room bed is too small to couple - at least for us:).

Wonderful location for touring this part of the Loire. Beautiful views, especially from terrace and restaurant, good range of accommodation, pleasant grounds. Restaurant food excellent Access to reception and restaurant could be difficult for elderly or disabled either via spiral staircase or gravel paths and ramps (unless I missed something)

The location is fantastic. The room was beautifully decorated and had a tremendous view of the Loire and the evening meal was outstanding, with excellent service as well. The "heated" swimming pool was cool rather than heated, but we did have it all to ourselves

The views were spectacular, but Breakfast service was very poor attitude from the waiting staff was not helpful, but the Reception staff were very helpful,, which we did mention on booking out. Attitude fron the Breakfast restaurant staff was very poor, not at all helpful and a full breakfast was costing 21 euros, but there was notihing but sausages to have , no plates no glasses we only eat there for one breakfast, instead of 2 .

The hotel looks excellent and the staff are helpful. Our room was on the outside (just adjacent) of the main building, which was not noted in the hotel's site.The breakfast was very poor and very expensive, there was no bar and they just said order what you like, when we tried to order vegetables with the breakfast, the waiter didn't understand the word, after a lot of explanations we got some sweet yam... In conclusion the hotel is great, it's not a real castle... but the breakfast is horrible.

отличное место. понравилось все от и до. отличная цена за высокое качество. для неискушенных этот отель будет приятным сюрпризом. правда, дорого обошелся ужин в ресторане отеля. но прекрасный вечер с друзьями на берегу луары под звуки цикад и классической музыки дорого стоит. тихая ночь в звуконепроницаемой комнате, в окружении старинной тяжелой мебели. завтрак дорогой, но после недели круассанов с соком ты готов заплатить за мясные деликатесы, разнообразные сыры, йогурты, фрукты, омлет. персонал искренне улыбчивый и отзывчивый. увидев, что мы с ребенком, предложили комнату с кроватью пошире и ничего сверх не взяли. в общем пятерка с плюсом!

très bel endroit mais ...... les chambres dans les cottages sont malheureusement très insuffisante pour cette classe d'établissement et que dire du plateau arrivée tardive à 27 € avec un vin de Loire très insatisfaisant 6 7 rondelles des charcuteries industrielles et des crudités très maigre qualité heureusement que le dessert que j'ai commandé était lui excellent pour un total de 83 € tout de même .Même à paris dans c e genre d'hôtel cela n'arrive pas à ce prix

“The hotel exceeded our expectations; it had a very relaxed feel about it and the public areas were really nicely set out. I would highly recommend paying the extra for the river view as it is spectacular!! Saumur is a lovely town with plenty of restaurants and shops and I would highly recommend both the hotel and the area.” Jean, Les Grands Vaux, St Saviour |
