Jacqueline welcomes you with to her very elegant B&B. Our room was well decorated and the bathroom well supplied. The heated towel bar was most appreciated. Her breakfasts were typical French with lots of breads and home made jams.We very much enjoyed our stay in very pleasant surroundings.
Room Tip: We liked room Parme”.
After a long days drive we arrived at gate that hid a beautiful location for a stay in the Loire valley. The accommodation was very clean, comfortable and well appointed. The gardens an absolute pleasure to wonder around. The host, Jacqueline was very friendly and gave very good suggestions as to what there is to see in the area. The meals were absolutely divine and the hospitality during the meals second to none. The location was a perfect place to come back to after a day doing the sites. We hope to meet again.
Its a charming B&B cottage with 4 rooms – 2 downstairs and 2 upstairs. Luggage trolleys available in the car park to wheel luggage in to the rooms as the lawn and gravel path would make it difficult to wheel luggage. This was really well thought out. Rooms – small but adequate, bathroom relatively large with double sinks, nice and thick bath towels, cotton buds, shower cap was also provided which was a pleasant surprise for this category of B&B. Garden – nice lawn and pleasant outlook with tables and chairs to relax and enjoy drinks. Breakfast – was great. Home baked bread, brioche, jam, marmalade & cake all made by our hostess and were delicious. Again breakfast was much better than anticipated with cold meat and cheese available along with standard coffee, tea, juice and yogurt. The dining room was very old 16th century and nicely furnished. It had the oldie worldie feel to it and a lot of character. Hostess – Jacqueline was very warm and friendly. She warned us that she did not have a lot of English but despite this she made an effort to talk to guests and made sure they had a pleasant stay.
We glad to have chosen this place for our two night stay to explore the Loire Valley.
Tucked away behind tall gates, the house is set in attractive grounds and gardens. A former hunting lodge, it has been beautifully restored and transformed into a small B&B, with evening meal available if you pre-book. Our hostess, Jacqueline, is friendly and charming and speaks a little English. Our room was beautifully decorated and very comfortable and both evening meal and breakfast were delicious with home-made bread, preserves, etc. At the end of a longish drive we were delighted to be able to settle in comfortable loungers in the garden and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Highly recommended.
Room Tip: Four rooms – two up, two down. Take your pick!
Everything about this place was charming, from the friendly welcome from Jacqueline, to the delightful regional cuisine, to the spacious and peaceful garden. Book ahead for the evening meal, at a table you share with other guests if there are any. It makes quite a party, and good for taxing language skills. Madame will try her best in English if necessary, and keeps her dictionaries handy. Our room was attractive and comfortable.
We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our stay at Domaine de Montizeau. Jacqueline was very helpful prior to arrival and the perfect host during our stay. The breakfast was outstanding and her evening meal was superb. The rooms are nicely decorated, clean and very comfortable. There are 4 bicycles that can be borrowed to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Although Moncay is somewhat isolated, it is not very far from delightful Beaugancy. We wished that we could have stayed longer than 4 nights because it was great to return each evening following a day of enjoying the region.
