Recommendations for hotel in France

[aj693]

Can anyone recommend a child-friendly chateau, hotel or B & B with a pool in the Loire Valley or Central region of France?

Any ideas gratefully received.

Thanks!

Try this place, it is absolutely fab. Really child friendly and just beautiful. It is a small gite complex, which is fully equipt and they also have some b&b accomodation. It is in the heart of the Loire valley.

I know not what you asked for but there's some lovely campsites in the Loire. We stayed at etang de la breche near saumur 2 years ago with 2 children aged 4 and 1 at the time. It's a castels site (fab French campsite chain, all top quality) and has a beautiful setting, greT play areas and brilliant pools with water slides and a great splash pool with lots of little slides etc. Also a bouncy castle handily situated near the bar/ restaurant so you can get a beer and sit and watch the children bouncing! We stayed in one of the campsites own mobile homes, very newly fitted out, clean, modern and very comfy (ours was 3 bed think they have 2 and 3 bedders). There's several good campsites round the region. We usually use either the eurocamp or castels websites to choose a site and book direct with the site rather than eurocamp.

Try Alistair Sawday's 'Special Places to Stay' - we've used them loads and they're brilliant! They do working farms and let the kids collect the eggs, watch the cows being milked, provide lovely authentic farmhouse meal in the eve whilst your babes are sleeping safely upstairs OR posh chateaus still just as friendly. Enjoy.
