샤토 데 포르(Le Château des Forges)

Location very close to town (can hear motorway from Hotel). Arrival surprised by lack of lifts up narrow spiral stair up to second floor and having to carry our bags. Hotel well decorated, however with open plan dining whole hotel smells of stale version of whatever was cooked the previous night. Staff rude, either not present, chatting in other rooms, while clientele left standing waiting. Extremely unhelpful and full of attitude. Clearly the guests are not good enough for the staff, rendering anyone’s stay miserable. The hotel clearly run for the benefit of staff rather than clientele, a real shame given the lovely surrounds. I cannot imagine why we would want to come back.

We spent there two nights. The staff was friendly and effective. There is a beautiful swimming pool next to a nature reservation. Breathtaking view from the room windows. A good breakfast and excellent dinner. We even met a ‘local’ fawn while coming back from an evening in town… We highly recommend.

Stumbled across this hidden gem of a hotel which is dog friendly. One could not ask for more. A Chateau set in stunning location with beautiful interiors. We were lucky with the weather, so dinner was served on the terrace. The meal we had was absolutely delicious with friendly professional service. Thank you. We will be returning. 😍

Great place to enjoy nature and to relax.The staff is very kind and always here to support your request and make your stay wonderful. It is a few miles away from Angers a great city to visit among other small towns around. highly recommend this place.
