Logis Manoir de la Giraudière

We decided to visit Chinon last minute and found on tripadvisor the manoir. Unfortunately only 2 rooms were left , one with air con and the other without. Due to the heat we chose the air con . I asked if the website had photos of the room which they replied unfortunately no. I know why. Room 18 hasnt been refurbished and is very very rustic. Though the room was clean I felt like I was sleeping at my nans house ! Not very romantic. Even though the room was fairly large it had a tiny 140 size bed . Pity. The bathroom has a nasty old bath and for the first time ever I actually refused to use the bathroom for a shower ! I had read that the breakfast was copious. Not when we where there. Each guest was « given » one croissant each and a tiny piece of bread . True there was some ham and cheese available along with dry fruit and yogurts but thats it ! So personally I wouldn't call it copious . On a positive note the Manoir is pretty (needs major refurbishment though) and has a nice garden at the back for kids to run around in. Its dog friendly as we saw 4 sets of guests with theirs. The receptionist attentive. The manoir is ideally situated for bike tours and those visiting Chinon , a quick 5 min drive away. Will we return? Doubt it. Do we recommend ? Yes if you're touring the area on bike , but not if you’re looking for a romantic break away.

Lovely old manor house with extensive grounds the children enjoyed playing in. Room with kitchenette & outdoor terrace was very practical for our 2 families. The welcome was warm and the atmosphere relaxed. Big bike shed for all our 8 bikes & trailer! Would def recommend for a stop en route if you are biking in the Loire. We would also record the superb municipal pool in Avoine (baby pool & brilliant slide!) as well as pizzeria l’Herozo where we had an excellent evening meal.
