Logis Hôtel Restaurant Relais du Gué de Selle

"We stayed three nights. The location is beautiful. The hotel is next to a lake. It is about 3-4km to walk round the lake, and there is small place where canoes and pedalos can be hired. The hotel has a small swimming pool, which we much enjoyed swimming in, even though it was unheated at the time we used it. The grounds of the hotel are well maintained and we had lunch on the terrace. The food (we had a lunch and a dinner whilst there) is excellent. We have given a 4 rather than 5 star review as, unusually in our experience of French hotels, it was necessary to indicate whether you wanted a (singular) croissant, pain au chocolate or raisin, the night before. You do need transport if you want to visit nearby towns, and we were fortunate in having a friend who had driven there. The local taxi services, based on getting to the hotel from the nearest railway station, and from talking with locals, seems good- even if, worryingly - they are sometimes described as 'ambulances'. The hotel also have a number of bicycles available, though we did not try this. We would stay again."

Château de Craon

"This stay cannot be rated according to the criteria expected of a hotel, as it is not a hotel. If you expect hotel service and amenities, you may be disappointed. This is a homestay that is offered in the large palace museum, on the lower floor there are about a dozen salons furnished with vintage furniture and exciting interior elements, and probably at least as many rooms for private use. Upstairs are guest rooms that look more like museum exhibits than hotel rooms. The rooms have authentic vintage furniture and plenty of interesting vintage furnishings. Our room was quite spacious and bright. The bathroom had a rare old-fashioned sink with separate taps for cold and hot water, as it was in the old days and as the English still prefer to use (much to the dismay of all the tourists). Of course, it is very inconvenient to use two separate taps, but in this case we treated it as an exotic experience. The shower cubicle and shower faucet were in a rather poor condition. The house is grand, but both the house and the furniture are quite worn. Despite this, it all left a positive impression. Breakfast is served to everyone together at a large table and freshly made croissants are offered for breakfast. We are used to eating salty food in the morning and the host was kind enough to make us an omelette. It is not written anywhere that it is a hotel and not on any of the doors is it written that there is a reception. We made several rounds around the palace looking for the right door and then we started to try which door was open one after another. There is actually no reception, somewhere in the back room there is an office for that. On our trip to France, the two most important criteria for choosing hotels were that it should be a palace and that it should have an outdoor pool. Of course, the use of the pool always depends on the weather, but this time the pool was not used, not because of the weather, but because the pool cleaning system had stopped working and the water in the pool was green. I feel like we didn't get the room I booked. The reservation does not specify which room exactly is reserved, and since the reservation was made a long time ago, I don't remember all the details for sure. There are two double rooms with a garden view, one of which is a bit more expensive and I remember that I chose it because it was the only room with a bed without an elevation on the foot side, because I am tall and I usually sleep with my feet over the edge of the bed, so I never choose a room with a bed with a high leg edge. Mobile internet coverage was weak and we could not connect to the house's Wi-Fi. The fact that the door to the room does not lock is also very unusual, there is no lock on the door and it never has been. If I can even trust the owners, I hesitate to trust other hotel guests, whom the owners usually see for the first and last time. According to the description on ***********, there should have been a safe in the room, but there was n"
