Auberge de la Caillère

Nice hotel in beautiful setting

A very clean, comfortable, modern hotel which is well located for the eastern chateaux of the Loire. For those wanting a building with character this may not suit. All staff were friendly and helpful. We ate dinner in the bistro which had a good and varied menu. Breakfast was exceptional with a great range of choice to suit all tastes. Many thanks for an enjoyable stay.

Our stay at the Auberge was excellent from start to finish. We stayed for 3 nights on our way from Calais to Bergerac for a post Christmas break and to see the Loire en route. Sadly a tunnel delay had us arriving 4 hours later than planned and missing dinner on the first night. We emailed ahead to advise of our late arrival and Max in Reception and the bistro team could not have helped us more. They offered to have a meal ready for us on arrival if we chose our selections enroute or cheese and charcuterie if that suited better, which it did. A quick checkin to our beautiful room at 930pm had us eating and enjoying a beer by 10pm ! Faultless ! We ate breakfast and dinner for the rest of our stay in the main bistro restaurant and all meals were excellent. It was fabulous to see people of all ages from small children upwards enjoying time, conversation and great food together in this lovely bistro ! Our room was quiet, comfortable and very well equipped for our 3 day stay with a tea and coffee station if required. Although we were road facing, the modern soundproofed windows and fact that it was a quiet road meant a great nights sleep in the very comfortable bed each night. No noise between rooms despite the hotel being busy. The Auberge was very well placed for trips to several chateaux, wine tastings in Vouvray and visits to Blois and Tours. Walks and cycle hire / riding locally also available. A special mention to Max and all at Reception, Fred and Thomas and everyone in the bistro for your fantastic service and help. Also a thank you to all the chefs, kitchen staff housekeepers and maintenance people who keep the auberge spotless and running ! We hope to see you all again in 2025. Kindest regards.
