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.

TRES SATISFAISANT. SERVICE IMPEC! PROPRE, BON EMPLACEMENT, PETIT DEJEUNER SUCCULANT, STAFF A LA HAUTEUR, PROPRETE DES CHAMBRES. NATHALIE SUPER EQUIPE MERCI BEAUCOUP. PARC ATTRACTION A COTE ET ANGERS TRES MIGNON

A beautiful tranquil place to stay in the Loire. It’s a 10 minute drive from Angers and a 5 minute walk to the island of Saint Aubin - recommend seeing both. The staff at the chateau are exceptionally helpful and obliging. The chateau itself has been tastefully decorated, the rooms are clean and comfortable with either a view of the fabulous pool or a wonderful garden. Recommend eating at the chateau with fantastic variety of local produce and beautifully presented. Wouldn’t hesitate to return to this haven of delight.

The location in the country is serene. We enjoyed the terrace off the room. The staff is very helpful; we used their restaurant recommendations which we enjoyed. Breakfast with the local suppliers is sumptuous.

This was our second stay here, and it was just as good as before. Great pool, lovely rooms, friendly staff. Make sure you book a table for an evening meal. Fantastic breakfast. We will definitely be back.

Stayed here on our way south. Very easy to find and easy access Outstanding staff who organised a meal even though their restaurant was fully booked. Excellent quality food both in the evening and at breakfast Standard room are a bit on the small side but it is an old building that has been tastefully decorated. If you are staying longer choose a superior room Will certainly return again and top marks to all the staff
