LE BEAUGENCY

We stayed here on the first night of our holiday as we drove from the UK to Catalonia. The hotel is easy to find and you can park directly outside. It looks a bit dated but don’t let that put you off. The hard working lady who runs the place gave us a warm welcome and took us to a clean, spacious triple room facing onto the garden. We enjoyed a very reasonably priced dinner in the (guests only) restaurant and an impressive breakfast the next morning. Looking at past reviews our experience appears typical. This hotel offered us everything we wanted after a long day’s driving.

Stopped here on our return to Blighty after a 7 hour journey from the deepest south, planned timing having gone a little awry due to personal ineptitude but in the end not a problem really. They have secure parking which is a must for me, coming from the crime riddled UK and working on the basis that everywhere must be at least as bad (not at all true). We’d noted on other reviews that the hotel is not necessarily going to attract passing trade by its looks which, now having seen it, is a fair comment, but really does belie the reality of what lies below the surface. This is a place that we will very definitely revisit both for the hotel, their food and the town. We arrived during rush hour it seemed and so had to recce the area before making a final approach when my co-pilot was launched to advise of our arrival. As a result, the large gates located to the right of the hotel were opened by the proprietor who assisted by halting the traffic whilst the rather narrow and unforgiving entrance was negotiated by my bus. The car park itself is located in a walled area and is indeed as advertised and as about as secure as it gets. There was a very pleasant welcome and we were guided to our ground floor, garden facing room which was modern, clean and well appointed (no tea and coffee facilities though which was a shame). There are possibly 10 or so rooms all facing the garden which is a large walled affair with a terrace/courtyard where meals can be enjoyed. Very pleasant, peaceful and relaxing particularly after a long journey. We’d booked for dinner which is only on offer to residents and was extremely good with a good choice of freshly prepared fare all for around E25 plus wine and coffee, each - bargain! Beaugency itself is a very pleasant, Loire side town and although we went for a wander after dinner, it deserves more exploration since there is bags of history in the town. We will definitely revisit after summer but this time plan it a little better. As regards the Le Beaugency hotel itself I would very definitely recommend a visit including the partaking of their dining facilities, all in all, extremely good value and a very enjoyable stay. The whole lot was just under E174 which included, comfy bed, lovely breakfast and superb evening meal which I’d regard as excellent value.

The good things first, Beaugency the town is lovely , the hotel is in a good situation especially if you have a dog, lovely walking right by the hotel, Madame is lovely and very hard working, nothing too much trouble, now the problem is the food which is home cooking by her husband, now the budget is very low so he hasn’t a lot to work with but I think they need to aim higher, maybe a 2 tier price so he can afford a little more quality, don’t let me put you off as this place is terrific value

Un rapport qualité/prix imbattable ! La chambre est au calme et agréable , la literie très bonne. Nous nous sommes régalés au dîner et petit déjeuner. Le service est très sympathique. Nous y retournerons sans hésiter. Cette formule demi pension est parfaite .

Chambre très agréable, propre et calme. Repas et petit-déjeuner très bons, excellent accueil. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour, la cour doit être très agréable aussi lorsque la météo permet de s'y installer pour le petit déjeuner. Une bonne étape !

Bien que petite notre chambre avait beaucoup de charme , la décoration était réussie, le lit très confortable ,la salle de bains bien équipée.Ce n était pas là première fois que nous y sejoyrnions sur la route de nos vacances et ce ne sera pas la dernière. Le repas était très bon et le etit déjeuner au top .
