An excellent venue for a visit to the Loire area and convenient for Angers, Tours and Le Mans. Made very welcome by all the staff, our room situated off the terrace was very comfortable. A choice of restaurant or brasserie for all meals at compatible prices, varied menu in both locations. more

We chose La Croix Blanche because it was centrally located to many historic chateaux (and only 2 hours from Paris!). The hotel is very modern, with all the rooms nicely decorated and wireless internet available. It is family run and operated with the principles on site every day. They all speak very good english and certainly make you feel welcome.... more

Really enjoyed the stay in La Croix Blanche. We were in new rooms, nice renovated in modern tastefull style. Most of the staff speaks also English, and some of them more languages like Dutch and Spanish. In the area there's a great old wild river (the Loire) and the large Abbey, very impressive. more

Clean, dowdy, unhappy staff, poor food - and if you're on the top floor a corridor with no natural lighting, short duration push button lighting and DIAGONAL ROOF TRUSSES at a low level! I hope the blood from my head gash didn't stain the carpets too much. What an unhappy crowd the staff seem to be - even though business... more

Guests spent three nights and ate in our restaurants every evening. On one of the evenings I was serving in the brasserie and we had a very pleasant conversation, and received compliments for attentive service. On the day of departure the very tall guest did hit his head on one of the historic beams in the corridor (300 year old...

We have been here 4 days for cycling in the region. The hotel is very charming with alll the flowers hanging in the baskets. Reception is pleasant speaks good english, since the owner is Dutch this is also an option if one doesn't speak French. The room was clean with sufficient space and maintained every day. The kitchen is very... more

This small hotel is located in the middle of a village only a few steps from the historic Fontevraud Abbey. Our room was extremely clean and the surroundings quiet and relaxing. The staff at reception spoke English and much of the restaurant staff as well. There were exceptions, but it is France after all. The only problem seemed to be... more

A lovely hotel in the middle of a beautiful village with the L'Abbaye just across the road. Nice sized rooms with good en-suites. Staff are helpful and many speak English. In a wonderful positon for a holiday. Our only fault finding lay with the food. The chef is made out to be top notch - we had better meals in... more

We have just returned from 10 days at La Croix Blanche. We had a warm welcome after our long drive. The room and hotel were clean and comfortable. The staff are friendly and are willing to offer advice about the local area. The hotel has 3 dining experiences: The main restaurant, a brasserie and a creperie. The food was delicious... more

Myself and my family stayed at Hostellerie de la Croix Blanche in July of this year as we were attending a family wedding nearby. The service was excellent, the food and wine excellent. We had a great time. The accommodation was lovely, it overlooked the village and it was really nice. Couldn't fault the place. Very comfortable stay. The bakery... more

Since the tombs of 3 of my g-g-grandparents were in Fontrevraud Abbey, I wanted to stay as close as possible; thus we managed to end up at the Hostellerie de la Croix Blanche. It's only redeeming feature was that it was directly across the street from the Abbey. Set in a very small village with nothing to do, and this... more

NEW OWNERS SINCE MAY 2005. The guest stayed in the hotel in April 2005 - just before we took over. Since my husband and I have taken over we heard several negative comments regarding the previous owners, especially regarding stays in the months leading up to the sale of the hotel: lack of service, restaurant food, non existing foreign languages...
