We had a great stay at La Guillotiere. The Estate is located in picturesque, woodsy countryside of Loire Valley in close proximity to Tours, Azay Le Rideau, Villandry, Amboise and Chenonceaux. The Manor gives a sense of settled comfort and the feeling there is both tranquil and welcoming. A big part of that is friendly, relaxed and attentive attitude of the hosts. Our room as well as bathroom were very spacious and charming with warm antique decor.The presentation of a breakfast fare was truly memorable; especially the display of French traditional pastries.

An Irish Welcome in the heart of France. This is a beautiful place to stay, large comfortable accommodation and a first class breakfast. I can't recommend this place highly enough and will be back!

Our first B&B experience and I think it will be difficult to beat! Upon our arrival around 5 p.m., Anne and Sean greeted us and offered us a drink - very much appreciated after the 4-5 hour drive from Beaune. After we settled our things into the spacious room, we sat outside and enjoyed a glass of wine before we headed off to a restaurant for dinner. Sean recommended a restaurant and Anne called in our reservations. The breakfast Anne and Sean served in the morning was wonderful - pastries, juice, coffee, cheese, etc. It was nice to sit around the dining room table for breakfast with other guests - two families from Germany were staying there at the same time. Thank you Sean and Anne for a wonderful experience.

This was our second stay at La Guillotiere, the first was 2 years ago en route to Southern France. Sean & Ann remembered us & made us very welcome. The location is very convenient for an en route stopover - just a few minutes from the motorway - and for exploring the Loire Valley, being pretty central to the main chateaux. But more than that, it's just a lovely place to stay.
The beautifully presented, well equipped and comfortable rooms are called after famous Irishmen (we were in GB Shaw this time). The pool & setting are outstanding. The breakfast is unmissable. And Sean & Ann make us feel so welcome. It has to be our number one place to stay in France, and we'll certainly be back next time we're lucky enough to be that way on.
