Top Angles-sur-lʼAnglin Hotel Reviews

Le Pigeonnier du Perron

10/10 Excellent

"This charming place was perfect for our one night stay on our drive through France. Peaceful and quiet, located in a small village. Pet friendly and amazing breakfast of fresh warm breads, eggs, yogurt, cheese, fruit and much more. We especially enjoyed the local “raisin juice”. We stayed on a Sunday so the restaurant was not open for dinner, but I am sure it is excellent, we will try it next time."

B&B HOTEL Chatellerault

8/10 Good

"This is a simple, roadside lodge style hotel. The staff were all exceptionally helpful and spoke some English that supplemented our very basic French. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. Breakfast (pay extra) was simple but adequate and included a toaster with bread, condiments, scrambled eggs and bacon as well as the usual pastries and yogurts. There is no restaurant at the hotel but there are a number of places to eat within walking distance but don't expect any fine dining. We ate at the Asian 'all you can eat' buffet which was excellent and just 500m away. It was easy to find, just off the main motorway and accepted our dogs for a very small supplement. We will use this hotel again if we are passing. "

Luxurious Chateau with Private Pool, Tennis and Par 3 Golf

10/10 Excellent

"What an absolutely amazing place! Everyone had the best time, waking up in gorgeous nature, relaxing on the terrace and partaking in the many activites available. I hope I get to return again but if I dont I will be happy to know at least Ive been once. What a great holiday."

Hôtel L'Univers

10/10 Excellent

"The owner was at the desk and recommended a nice brasserie to eat: the hotel was comfortable, in an old stone building with a lot of character. The room was comfortable the bedding perfect and we had a little sitting corner. We did not try the restaurant because it was closed but you will find plenty of places to have a good meal at a reasonable price. Will return in a heart beat."

Logis Hôtel Restaurant Relais de la Mothe

10/10 Excellent

"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."
