Le Manoir de Maucartier0

We were looking for an overnight stopover en route to the south, avoiding hotel chains, and thought Le Manoir looked interesting. From the moment we arrived everything surpassed our high expectations. Pascal, our host, was absolutely charming, our room perfect and the whole building full of character. We spent a very happy hour wandering through the extensive grounds and returned in time for an evening meal - which proved one of the highlights of our holiday. Pascal proved to be an excellent chef, and sommelier, and the French couple we shared the dining room with made it an evening never to forget.

Nothing - we should have stayed longer.

The location is superb. Pascal who is the host is exceptional and nothing is too much trouble. The hotel is beautiful and attention to detail in all places of the hotel is fantastic. The gardens are beautiful and are very peaceful and relaxing. We were travelling with our dog and made very welcome. Our room was beautiful and met all of our expectations. The bed was very comfortable. We also booked in for dinner. Pascal cooked dinner for us and the meal was fantastic. It was a perfect end to our day after a very long drive from Bayonne. Breakfast was very good with plenty of variety for you to choose from. We are looking forward to returning again next year. This place is so beautiful.

There is nothing we did not like. Everything was perfect.

What a find! In perfect peace in the depths of the countryside, yet very close to the autoroute, both the A10 and the A28. The location and atmosphere was fabulous, like staying in someone's private home. We particularly enjoyed our dinner, served in the magnificent dining room. Breakfast was also excellent. Before dinner we wandered round the extensive grounds and garden. We were passing through and only stayed one night, but it would make an excellent base from which to explore Tours and the Chateaux of the Loire

Our host was very welcoming and kind. He prepared a special gluten-free dinner for me that was delicious. Breakfast too was wonderful, with home made fare and the most delicious omelette courtesy of the fantastic poultry that live in the garden of the property. The house is very imaginatively decorated with a very eclectic mix of antique furniture and decor, a real treasure trove that has been carefully constructed. Our room was in the top of the house, under the eaves - comfortable and beautifully furnished. The garden has been lovingly tended and was fun to explore, from the large enclosure where different species of poultry and guinea pigs happily roam, to the beautiful little pond full of life, to the topiary of selected trees and hedges. The whole place had a lovely atmosphere and we felt grateful to have been able to stay there. The property is also perfectly placed to explore the surrounding chateaus.

This place is well located. Very peaceful and secluded but at the same time, close enough to Tours if you need anything (maybe 15 minutes by car). The little town of Monnaie has a grocery store and some restaurants as well. The decoration of the house is beautiful. My favorite part was all the animals in the property (chickens, guinea pigs, geese). The gardens are weel cared for and beautiful. Pascal was a great host, very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere of the house is very relaxed and quiet. I wish we could spend more time at this place since it was very relaxing. I definitely recommend this place.

Everything was marvelous! Firstly, a surprise to find such an enchanting place to spend an evening—I would have loved to stay longer. I felt like Alice in Wonderland transported to another era surrounded by such beautiful French antiques and rich fabrics. Thé surrounding gardens were carpeted with daffodils in full bloom. A a discovery—hundreds of Guinea Pigs running around outside mixed in with the chickens, turkeys, geese and ducks. I was served a candlelight dinner in a stunning dining room prepared by Madeleine, the most charming hostess.

Pascal was the best host we've ever experienced- such thoughtful care and sweet details in the interior of the house but also the overall manoir with the beautiful garden and a calmness we were so much looking for. Excellent host and facilities - we absolutely loved it and we'll be surely back for this pet-friendly get-away off the grid! Just simply perfect! Thank you so much!

a little bin in the toilet and also outside would've been useful

A wonderful and private house in the country. Pascal’s food in INCREDIBLE, do not miss dinner!! And wonderful to be surrounded by chickens and guinea pigs and lovely gardens.

We don’t speak much French and didn’t realise that there isn’t an option for dinner if you don’t tell them beforehand. It was salmon which was fine but not my partners fav so if you are fussy, maybe just check what is being served. That said, the food was INCREDIBLE.

Shower was very good, bed was very comfy, internet could have been better, but I didn't require it much. Pascal is an exquisite hotelier; very friendly and helpful. He also has a gorgeous dog called Tattoo, who I got to play a lot with. Love the decor of the place. Felt impressively grand.

After a long trip we landed in the middle of nowhere on a dark farm and requested a simple meal. Although late, Pascal was so friendly to prepare us a fine dinner. The hotel is small, basically a B&B and extremely hospitable. Next morning we discovered the great garden with all kinds of animals in an almost echanted environment. Really nice place to slow down.

Country side means far away from any services. There was some minimum dust here and there.
