We were booked into Le Prieure as part of a cycling tour group in the Loire Valley. The hotel has lovely grounds with nice views over the river. My husband and I were given a room in the Les Residences instead of in the main house. The room was OK, but lacked the grandeur and character of rooms in the... more

We spent the Easter weekend at this lovely hotel in the Loire Valley, close to Saumur. The view from our room was stunning - looking out across the Loire. We had originally booked a Traditional Room with extra bed but the hotel upgraded us as they felt the Traditional room was too small for three of us (2 adults and... more

This chateau is nestled into the hillside directly facing the Loire River, across the river from the medieval town of Saumur. The location is excellent - very quiet and picturesque. Our room was huge by french standards, with a queen bed, desk, armchairs, heaters, full wardrobe and two windows looking out onto the river. The bathroom is also large, with... more

The location is superb, perched high up about the Loire Valley. The grounds are very large and very beautiful - an old park/forest which is lovely to walk in. The pool is pretty nice too, but when we were there the weather was too cold for a swim. The hotel is few kilometers from Saumur and is very well positioned... more

Le Prieure is in a stunning setting above the Loire. We had a comfortable bedroom with a view of the river. The staff are charming and helpful. We only ate dinner there on the first night because the food was, frankly, fairly awful. Our risotto was unrecognisable as such - it was the texture of semolina. The cheeses were cold... more

This place is spectacular in beauty and service. We loved our room (#14) in the Chateau was huge and very nicely appointed. Mini bar in the room fully stocked. The bathroom was amazing and quite comfortable with big thick robes, nice towels and excellent supply of toiletries. It even had a towel warmer which made for a very nice bath... more

My daughter and I stayed here this summer after reading the reviews in trip advisor. We opted for one of the cottages, which was exceedingly minimalist and run down. The first thing we noticed in the place itself, which does have a beautiiful location overlooking the Loire, was the smell of manure everywwhere, and I do not mean horse manure-... more

We had an excellent visit to the Prieure. We also stayed in the casual yet comfortable cottage area. Perfect for travelling with a child. Able to stay use the ample recreational facilities and enjoy the ambiance of the inn. Close to lots of activities in Saumer. more

We were travelling through France in April and this was a perfect place to stay overnight, wonderfully quiet and peaceful. A stay of several days would be just as justified. Don't be scared off by high prices in the Chateau itself. We stayed in one of the cottages in the park/gardens which was beautifully equipped with the added bonus of... more
