Hotels Near Abert Sculpture sur Bois in Meung-sur-Loire

The Ecu de Bretagne ticks all the relevant boxes for a comfortable, well located hotel in a small attractive Loire Valley town. The rooms are large, well appointed and recently decorated, the aircon worked extremely well in this canicule and the pool is a real bonus. Easy on site parking. Generous breakfast, a bistro for dining with a limited menu, but there are lots of restaurants and bars to choose from in the town. The welcome is always warm and the staff are genuinely friendly. We have stayed here many times over the last 10 years, winter and summer, and have never been disappointed. Recommended.

Stopped here on our return to Blighty after a 7 hour journey from the deepest south, planned timing having gone a little awry due to personal ineptitude but in the end not a problem really. They have secure parking which is a must for me, coming from the crime riddled UK and working on the basis that everywhere must be at least as bad (not at all true). We’d noted on other reviews that the hotel is not necessarily going to attract passing trade by its looks which, now having seen it, is a fair comment, but really does belie the reality of what lies below the surface. This is a place that we will very definitely revisit both for the hotel, their food and the town. We arrived during rush hour it seemed and so had to recce the area before making a final approach when my co-pilot was launched to advise of our arrival. As a result, the large gates located to the right of the hotel were opened by the proprietor who assisted by halting the traffic whilst the rather narrow and unforgiving entrance was negotiated by my bus. The car park itself is located in a walled area and is indeed as advertised and as about as secure as it gets. There was a very pleasant welcome and we were guided to our ground floor, garden facing room which was modern, clean and well appointed (no tea and coffee facilities though which was a shame). There are possibly 10 or so rooms all facing the garden which is a large walled affair with a terrace/courtyard where meals can be enjoyed. Very pleasant, peaceful and relaxing particularly after a long journey. We’d booked for dinner which is only on offer to residents and was extremely good with a good choice of freshly prepared fare all for around E25 plus wine and coffee, each - bargain! Beaugency itself is a very pleasant, Loire side town and although we went for a wander after dinner, it deserves more exploration since there is bags of history in the town. We will definitely revisit after summer but this time plan it a little better. As regards the Le Beaugency hotel itself I would very definitely recommend a visit including the partaking of their dining facilities, all in all, extremely good value and a very enjoyable stay. The whole lot was just under E174 which included, comfy bed, lovely breakfast and superb evening meal which I’d regard as excellent value.

We have visited this hotel a number of times over the past 15 years or so, including for some special occasions. Firstly the positives, the staff at reception were absolutely great and the manager and staff in the restaurant were also excellent. We had requested a change of room and this was facilitated without any fuss and again the reception staff organised this while we were out. The first room we were in had a very poor bathroom including the shower. There are no slippers or tissues in the rooms which though small items were indicative of what we saw as the small things being let slip. It appeared to us that the hotel is now focused on being a wedding venue and less attention is being paid to hotel. The breakfast was really disappointing and we were comparing it to one available at hotel we had stayed at immediately before arriving here. The coffee machine was a complete disaster and the staff appeared to be very inexperienced and failed to seize the fact that there was a problem and only agreed to make coffees when it was pointed out to them that machine was not working properly. Another guest spoke to me at the machine and said that it was inexplicable that we couldn't get a decent coffee in Italy. The selection of fruit was really poor and it appeared as if staff just added different fruit to top up the dish each day. This is a truly lovely hotel in a beautiful setting and it is a great pity to see if drop it's standards.

The hotel room is divided into about two rows, there is a row close to the rails,  The train will be a bit noisy after passing by.  The hotel parking lot is very wide and the car distance is very large.  Parking is very convenient.

I was overall very disappointed by the stay at Empreinte hotel, which has nothing to do with a 4 Star standards or with luxury that one tries to promote on their website! The private parking that I have booked 6 months in advance was not available! The room that was proposed as an upgrade had an extremely small bathroom that is not a separate bathroom at all, but a built-in toilet with shower, just separated by a glass-wall! Very stingy hotel policy: no welcome drinks like water, no body lotion, no second vanity kit or second soap for the second person, no space even to put a toothbrush near the washbasin, the room was very dusty with dirty window and damaged dusty curtains. The air-conditioner was so loud that it was mot possible to sleep! No proper wardrobe, first time in my life I saw a kind of mini wardrobe including minibar in the ”bathroom”. The breakfast was poor in choice and some things like pancakes or croissants were not fresh... only safe was good!

My husband booked this hotel as a treat for my birthday. Unfortunately, our ‘superior’ room was on the third floor-definitely not a treat when the stairs are extremely vertiginous, there is no lift, and the birthday you are hoping to celebrate in one piece is your 70th! The room was pleasant, with a pretty decor, beautiful fabric lined walls, and interesting vintage furniture, yet rather cramped. It wasn’t possible to fully open the bathroom door as the bed was in the way. This made the room slightly oppressive; a great pity when so much thought had clearly gone into other design features. Nonetheless, the bathroom was more spacious, as well as being modern, spotless and neat. Although it’s in a good location, I would recommend establishing which floor your room will be on before you book this hotel. Walking downstairs is a truly terrifying experience and I have no doubt there are much nicer rooms than the one we stayed in!

Awful, expensive, overpriced and small rooms. Parking 15 euros which came as a surprise as not noted on website. Double room tiny and bed felt like a small double as for 140.00 a room a night it's ridiculously overpriced, room so tiny couldn't move. Bed hard and uncomfortable, like sleeping on a slab of concrete. View was of a roof and outside air con unit. Tiny window, dark room. No milk in room for coffee and I booked three rooms and no milk or supplies in other rooms neither. No cups in rooms just a couple of paper ones in the bathroom. No tea bags, they supply tea leaves but no strainer. All just pointless, poor customer care and disappointing. I complained to reception about room size, no milk, cups, teabags and was basically told tough. I asked if I could be moved FOC but told no, even though there were rooms available. Deposit of 50 euros taken per room for damages. Just avoid, looks all nice and well furnished in the pictures but this hotel is really not worth the money, time nor experience.

This hotel has nice service and staffs were very kind. Their communication was no problem in English and explained to us how to get to the supermarket near us. But if you want to stay this hotel , you might need a car to get here. This hotel linens were very clean and gave us some teabags and coffee. They had also breakfast at the cafeteria. We recommend this hotel and we will stay again.

After a challenging drive to Saran from Paris, I appreciated the extra effort that Elena at the front desk provided when I checked in. She was quite knowledgeable about nearby tourists sights and showed an interest in my activities during my stay. She also provided information about restaurants in the area. Fluent in three languages, verbal communication with her was no problem. The room and hotel met my expectations, as the room was clean and comfortable. Kitchen facilities were also available on another floor. Parking was free and conveniently on site. My only disappointment was that I couldn't return to stay there again.

We had the pleasure of two, single night stays here as a part of a tour of Western France, one week apart. This was the cheapest, but one of the comfiest hotels we stayed in. Small, but new. Easy onside parking for free with the grounds of Chateau Chambord just 5 mins drive away. The breakfast here was the best. Delicious pastries and fresh coffee and orange juice. The service was great and we would most definitely stay here again. The photos do not do it justice. The rooms are of 4* quality. Great stays.
