The property itself was a beautiful setting for a spa and the staff wonderful. The restaurant. "L'Ardoise Saveurs des Thomeaux" was PHENOMENAL. You could order multiple courses with different options. We were so glad to have stayed there despite the challenges. One, being wifi. The wifi by the restaurant was amazing. Our bedroom being in a very old century building, couldn't access the wifi we needed so we didn't have any during our stay while in the room. Also, although the bathrooms are modern, there was mold along the trim and on the shower stall floor and the carpeting was extremely dirty. I still would recommend the hotel for it's fine dining alone. One of our favourite memories in France. Perhaps an update to the carpet and replacement of trim in washroom would refresh the room we stayed in to be a more fresher experience.

Decent hotel and room, good pool
Sauna was broken that day but the steam room and pool were great temperatures and condition. No vegetarian options whatsover meant had to drove out. Room would have been 4* except someone had smoked in it some point in its past...easily dealt with by the window open- overall a great stay

Get a room in the main building not the annex
Sweet little property very close to Amboise. Nice indoor pool, although colder than we remembered from our previous trip. Last time, we had a room in the main building. This time- the “annex” which we don’t recommend. A bit more street noise, church bells at 7 am and not as charming

Free access to nice spa. Some rooms are a bit further out of the property though, so our group was separated. Only one meal option at the restaurant.

We loved it! Check-in was a breeze and they upgraded us to a nicer room, free of charge (it was really hot and they upgraded us to a room with AC, which happened to be a larger room than what we booked). The place is clean, charming and we loved the spa!! The spa facility is small (pool with jets, dry sauna for 5ppl and hammam/wet sauna for 5ppl) but it was a great (free) surprise and a much appreciated addition compared to most hotels/apartments that we typically book. Would stay her again for sure!

We’ll be back!
We really enjoyed or visit to the hotel. We didn’t stay for long because we were visiting the castles in the area, but we really enjoyed our stay! It was very centrally located to all the castles we wanted to visit, and a really nice property. We would definitely stay there again. Also, it was nice to have a couple fans in the room to keep it cool during the hot summer nights.

We loved the hotel and our large room. The spa was fantastic. Dinner was expensive and our waiter was rushed and not very friendly. Food was good but experience could have been better for the cost. Overall we had a lovely time in a beautiful place. Not much English spoken here

We were in the annex in a room that was small and needed renovation. It was an ok stay overall but nothing to write home about. The 'spa' was across the road and inconvenient. Our expectations were not met.

Peace on the Loire
Lovely hotel ..great to have the pool & spa after a day on the road ... restaurant excellent. Stayed in a cottage in the grounds ... only quibble is that it was a bit gloomy ... oddly sited lights. Large safe car park ... easy access for cycling or walking along the Loire. Lovely grounds with different places to sit in the sun ...

Beautiful hotel
My only complaint is that this hotel advertised an indoor pool, which it does have. However the hotel uses it more for spa purposes and it really isn’t for children. They did “allow” our 13 and 10 year old to use the pool, but only from 7-9 pm. Website should be more specific regarding the pool.

We stayed here to visit the festival of flowers at Chaumont sur Loire which was just down the road. The restaurant was closed the evening we stayed, could have been due to the fact that it was a Sunday evening. However we were pointed in the direction of Amboise where there is plenty of eating places. Breakfast in the morning however was fantastic! So much choice particularly fruit. The spa pool was lovely to visit after a long journey from the ferry. Our room was lovely, spacious and cool with air conditioning.

Good for a weekend in the Loire Valley
It is a sort of spa but there was never an attendant at the facility and the "pool" is a jacuzzi. The room is furnished with an eclectic selection of junk, and each room is named for a city. No elevator. The auto license plates were mainly from nearby and from the Paris area, showing who goes there in the off season. The bathroom fixtures have seen a lot of use. The restaurant is quite good for 29 euros.

Room too small and not in the main building. The swimming pool build from a very strange soft plastic material - not at all nice to touch. Blanket far too heavy for summer. Window too small and low (floor level) - parking right bellow the windows.

Great
We travelled with an infant, the receptionist was brilliant providing us with a baby cot and a baby bath and extra towels free of charge. They had a high chair available in the resturant where the food was lovely. We used the pool but it is inaccessable to under 16 so we went one at a time to use the pool/jacuzzi and sauna which was free of charge to guests

Great location for exploring the Loire
We stayed 4 nights in this nice relaxing hotel with good facilities. Rental bikes available. Ideal location for exploring the nicest part of Loire valley. Would have given 5 rating but bed had blankets rather than quilts which just didn't give as good a night's sleep compared to the other hotels we stayed in on our trip.

We were supposed to spend two nights, but the first night was a miss. We were sent to a sub place which was very nice. The staff was so nice, especially Claire, and served us complimentary breakfast in our room. The setting is lovely in the French countryside. We would certainly visit there again.

A getaway in Bombay
We had the Bombay (Indian themed) room. Very large room with large bathroom, with no shower screen. Nothing to do eat or see in the township of Mosnes, however as we did have our hire vehicle we were able to drive to lovely Ambrose, which had people, restaurants, shops, sights and atmosphere.
