Castles in Brenne - Val de Creuse

We had a wonderful week at La Bicyclette. The hosts, Richard and Yvonne were extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. At the same time they are very professional and knowledgeable. Breakfast was superb and nothing was too much trouble. Excellent room and comfortable bed. Without a doubt, we highly recommend La Bicyclette. Thanks.

Best one of these ive stayed in

A great place to stop off as a family driving down from the UK to the SW France. Very good value for two adjoining rooms, really modern hotel with a pool. The only let down was breakfast - they seemed to have been short staffed on the day with one stressed staff member trying to manage it all and the choice of food was limited. Given we paid extra for it, we’d expected more for our money. Despite that we’d happily stay again and would recommend to other families for one night stop over en route...

Host was very helpful and friendly. Bedroom huge and very clean, this is a very traditional French home and is all the better for retaining original fixtures. Parking is on the road opposite the entrance to the property, not a problem at all. Well located minutes from centre of town with lots of restaurants , we used it as a stopover whilst heading south and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Would highly recommend

This is an absolutely delightful little hotel with very warm and welcoming hosts, Vicky and Jean Luc, who went well out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful time. Our room was simply lovely and the breakfasts were fabulous with freshly squeezed orange juice, really good coffee and delicious croissants, fruit salads and yoghurts. If you are visiting Poitiers or passing through on your way to other parts of France or Europe it is a complete treat to stay here. We were there for five...

The overall experience was good. The staff were very nice and willing to help. The hotel is very French which we liked but the carpet in our bedroom was very stiff hessian and therefore uncomfortable on bear feet The staircases 2 were very steep, very narrow and winding in my view not suitable for anyone with any kind of mobility issues. Breakfast was continental no meat or cheese but more than adequate. There is no restaurant facilities at the hotel however only a 5 minute walk is an IBIS...

The property is fairly isolated but went for the peace and quiet and the food , This was our second visit and it was extremely friendly , very personal but the food was excellent and we we loved it for what we were looking for . They are small so reception opens later in the afternoon to enable check in which is worth bearing in mind

Maison décorée avec beaucoup de goût, hôte très sympathique et avenante, superbe petit déjeuner, une maison où on se sent comme chez soi

We love this place! Everything about it, the ambience, friendly staff, the comfortable, clean rooms and mostly the breakfasts! The buffet style breakfast is so thoughtfully done and much of it is organic, local and some even homemade. There is even the choice to make up your own loose leaf tea from a wide range with your own little teabag. Another bonus is it is quiet and peaceful so you can truly relax. And the air con in the summer heat is at just the right level. Can’t wait to return!

For us, a perfect location for a night's sleep. Faultless staff & comfort. Excellent breakfast & overall, good value. What would have been perfect, - a Michelin recommended restaurant next door!

We were very pleased with our suite. It was clean, the air conditioning worked well. Plenty of room for our dog plus a balcony. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Our dinner in the restaurant was superb and breakfast excellent. We would certainly stay again.

Well organised hotel with secure parking. Helpful staff and a pleasant Restaurant

Brilliant stay here on route to Dordogne. Host very welcoming and room very up-to-date and spot less. Attention to details like diffuser on hairdryer spot on. Also use of kitchen an added bonus. Would definitely recommend a stay here

Great find. Lovely property, great views, attentive host. Bed was very comfortable and breakfast was super.

A very nice stay in a lovely old building that has been sympathetically modernised and included air conditioning It is a 5 min walk to the river and we went to a very nice restaurant around the corner that the hotel owner recommended

Oasis of calm. Lovely pool.

Lovely calm decor in the bedroom. Quiet surroundings and delicious food. Cheerful staff- all excellent.
