Logis le Fleuray

This was my third time staying in the hotel. We were two friends travelling, and the hotel is at a nice driving distance from Cherbourg where we arrived that morning. The hotel is nicely situated in a quiet surrounding, with well appointed rooms reasonably priced. We had both been upgraded to garden rooms, and the rooms are really good. Big, nice bathrooms, big comfortable beds, and we had small, private seating areas outside our rooms. Checkin and checkout was fast and efficient. When you book the hotel on their own website, which tends to be my general preference, full payment is immediately taken, so just be aware of that. The hotel sits on a rather large ground with swimming pool and jacuzzi. When we were there the weather was not really good enough to use those facilities. While this is mainly about the hotel part, the restaurant experience should be mentioned. The hotel is a bit away from towns and facilities, so natural option is to eat at the hotel, which we did. Last time we were eating there we had a fantastic experience, sitting outside in great weather and enjoying a fantastic meal and equally great wines. This time we sat inside, which is less cosy, but more importantly, we were disappointed with the food. We both had a fois gras started, but the fois gras was not tasty, and putting it on a sliced strawberry with I think a chocolate based sauce on did not work. The rest of the meal was ok, but overall our admittedly high expectations were not met. If I find myself in the area again I will most likely stay here again, and give the restaurant another chance.

This is a really pleasant comfortable hotel. It isn’t in Cangey nor even Fleuray. Quickest way is via Autrecht and Dame Marie des Bois. The room price is lower than you might expect for this quality, presumably to reduce commissions paid for booking companies (Always book direct, anyway). You also pay for the room in effect by the cost of breakfast 15€ and dinner (3 course menu 45€), but taken all together, it is very good value. I would have preferred a wider choice on the standard dinner menu (choose from three starters, two main courses ((one is always fish)) and two desserts). (You can order the same courses individually.) The standard of cooking and service is high. Each course is elaborately decorated, but the portions are small. Vegetables usually consisted of a small purée beside the meat or fish. Generally the food was warm rather than hot. They could invest in some cloches. Breakfast was the same price whatever you ate. There was a wide choice of hot and cold food, including muesli, freshly squeezed orange juice, bacon, sausages, scrambled egg, ham, cheese, yoghurts and, of course, croissants and brioches. The pool was clean and refreshing. The rooms were also clean, serviced daily and well furnished. The staff were friendly and helpful. All in all, this is a high-quality, well-run hotel. It is well positioned for Chenonceau, Chambord and Villandry.

I stayed in this hotel one night in April 2022 and again one night in the month following. The hotel is a bit off the beaten track, and that makes it all the more enjoyable. It is not a chain hotel, but instead has its own charm. The hotel is relatively new and consists of the main building and annex. In the garden there is a swimming pool, a spa, and some nice areas to sit. The rooms are well appointed with good beds and showers. The first time we only arrived at midnight, so we did not really get a chance to explore the hotel since we were driving off again the following day to head for Bordeaux. On the way back we sat in the garden and enjoyed a glass of wine in the afternoon, and in the evening we had dinner in the restaurant sitting outside on the terrace. The food was really good, the service matched, and they had a good wine selection. The view over the landscape was great, and it was enjoyable to be away from the city, the city lights and the noise that goes with it. The reception was very efficient and friendly and all went well. We would definitely go there again.
