Manoir le Bout du Pont - 5 BED AND BREAKFAST

Andre and Nicole have done very well with the limited space their buildings present. Everything is brand new it seems. The breakfasts were over the top as far a quality and quantity. We were there in strawberry season and were provided with a bowl every morning, along with other items from the list they present.

After the hustle and bustle of Paris this was just what our family (my wife and our two sons) needed. Andre and Nicole were the perfect hosts and the rooms are very modern while maintaining the historic character of the building. Within an hour of arriving Andre had the four of us on bikes peddling our way to Chambor to admire the chateau. On our return we took advantage of the fantastic heated pool. Waking up to pastries, fresh coffee, homemade jams and fresh squeezed orange juice made everyone's morning. Note that if you are exploring the area by bike Manor at the End of the Bridge is nicely located within easy distance of at least three great chateaux with bike friendly low traffic routes available. Can't wait to go back!

Really excellent base for our early season trip to see the chateau. Nicole and Andre could not have made us feel more welcome. They and their family are delightful. There were flowers, wine and homemade biscuits to great us and then when we left we were presented by a wooden candlestick made by Nicole and Andre's son. The bed and breakfast includes various pastries, french bread, homemade jams, fresh fruit and cereal. We came down at about 8:30 am everyday to find all that we needed to sort ourselves out. The self-catering part is if you book both rooms you get a free rein in the kitchen/dining/living area downstairs. In terms of accomodation it was very comfortable. We went in March and the heating inside was excellent and just right. The showers were also hot and powerful. Both double bed rooms had ensuite shower rooms and toilets with automatic lights (very useful at night). The kitchen/dining/living open plan area has all the appliances that you will need including a dishwasher. A lack of baking tray and a square baking dish were all that I missed but I cook a lot. A tin-opener was quickly provided on request (perhaps the person before us had nicked it). There is a large flat screen T.V. The living room area part of the downstairs is as small as it appears in the picture but we did not go on holiday to watch T.V. If you do not speak French then Nicole and Andre's granddaughter does very well. There is off street gated parking. We would return.
