Manoir des Basses Rivières

Absolutely beautiful accommodation, with unique and intentional decoration as well as thoughtful inclusion of amenities to ensure a comfortable stay (e.g. a booklet in room explaining what's available, from pool items like sunscreen to wine opener to a nice hair dryer, etc). Nice coffee setup in room as well as honors system bar/snacks in the kitchen. The grounds are so peaceful and beautiful. Bed was comfy, room was lovely. Martine, the housekeeper, let me in and while I don't speak French and she doesn't speak English, we mostly got by.

Only minor things. The main is that based on reviews, I thought it was more of a real B&B where the owners are present, more of an experience, and also that you could go in the manor to see it. It was closed up (I was staying in an outbuilding). The listing seemed to suggest a fitness room, coffee shop, etc. but I didn't see this...I was the only person staying here at the time. Ultimately I still had a wonderful stay, just good to know from an expectations standpoint. Also, I could not figure out how to get the overhead light in the bathroom to turn off (all the others turned off) so I had to wear a sleeping mask to be able to sleep in my bedroom as the light came through.

Exceptionally beautiful guest house and landscaped grounds, all curated by the owner. You can see he put his heart and soul into the renovation. It’s honestly like walking into Architectural Digest. Every detail is meticulously and thoughtfully achieved. Our room was so lovely and comfortable with loads of spaces to unpack, which is very often not the case. We don’t use the pool but it’s amazing, up a few flights overlooking the grounds. Breakfast was wonderful, amazingly fresh and tasty bread and croissant, many choices of breakfast items and all of the highest quality. You have access to a kitchen that is well stocked with drinks and snacks. The property is easily accessed from a main highway and is close to many beautiful towns and chateaus. The village of Rochecorbon has a lovely restaurant Table de Joseph with exceptional food and service.

There is nothing negative to say.

The BnB rooms are thoughtfully furnished, with antiques and elements that truly respect the history of the house. The garden is extremely beautiful, well maintained and helps creating a little piece of secluded heaven. The owners are very welcoming and ready to help.

Not really regarding the BnB itself (cause it is perfect), but the location is convenient just with a car. Without a car you will need to rely on irregular busses or Uber. Which is not a problem at all in the end. They also rent out bikes which is a great service and a good alternative if the weather is good.

Prachtige plek. Overal over nagedacht. Ontbrak aan niets
