Auberge du Bon Laboureur

The property is very well located to visit the local and impressive chateau, as well as those in surrounding towns. Success over the years has clearly enabled the family owners to expand the property and so the hotel has prominent position in the centre of the village. Facilities are great (the pool and gardens are lovely), and the tasting menu in the restaurant was excellent (perhaps the best of our 3 week trip). Breakfast is disappointingly not included in the room rate and at 24EUR is expensive. We were also frustrated that the small buffet was being cleared while we were still eating and choosing items, which left us feeling uncomfortable. Overall, it is a lovely hotel, and a good base for the local area. Some of the staff did not seem very happy, which (we feel) could be felt in the service we received, and the cost of our stay was at the top end of what we paid throughout our trip which we didn't feel matched our experience.

The property and staff were lovely. Dinner in the restaurant - delightful. Beautiful grounds. Friendly and helpful people all around. As we checked out, one of the reception staff gifted us a bottle of her family’s Chinon wine. A memorable stay. Merci beaucoup!!

Lovely hotel, our room was great and fitted the family’s needs perfectly.
