A regular stopping point for us when driving from the uk to the south of france. Restaurant is sublime, food excellent and the 'chariot des fromages' an education in french cheese! Rooms are rather small and basic, bathrooms moreso but the service is charming and the peace and quiet on the banks of the loiret is priceless. Breakfast enhanced by... More

My wife and I together with our Labrador Harry stayed in Le Rivage for one night. What a fantastic location. With a long footpath right by the river, it was the perfect place for walking Harry, providing we had a towel to dry him off! The welcome was warm and efficient. The room was very average. Really needed a make... More

This was our second visit to Le Rivage, a good journey break, en route to the South. Cannot agree with previous reviews - people, this is more of fabulous restaurant with rooms than hotel. At 85 euros a night for a double room, you are not going to get super luxury - however it is all perfectly comfortable and very... More

Nice location, beautifull surroundings! Too expensive for what you get, rooms very small but everything is there, resaurant nicely located, spacious, good service but food was not very special. (maincourse tasteless!) Wine extremely expensive (7 euro for a glass 35 euros cheapast bottle!!)

Stayed here on our way south, picked at random from Michelin Red Guide (should have looked at Tripadvisor also). Welcome was lacking and there is a definite Fawlty Towers air about the place: decor very 70s and rather omnipresent patron. However, the food for dinner was excellent and the terrace looking out on to the Loiret is lovely, (as long... More

When the boss of a hotel (where Le Figaro is the only newspaper available) invents on the spot that the WIFI is not working because of a the telecom workers are on strike (never heard such an excuse) , and later on his assistant says that there has been a fire at the level of the hotel and that only...

I booked the hotel as a stopover on our way down to Limousin. The welcome we got when we arrived was appreciated and staff were very hospitable throughout our stay. Disappointingly the hotel rooms were below average. The rooms were small and old fashioned and in desperate need of an update. The accommodation side of the hotel just did not... More

The restaurant is more than OK : excellent food, not cheap but well worth the money. On the other hand: the hotel is far below what you would expect from a *** hotel. The room on the second floor was small, poorly equiped, no wifi (we had to move to the entry hall), lift only to first floor, ... Old... More

Stayed here on the way through France for one night on the recommendation of friends. They describe it more as a restaurant with rooms - possibly because the rooms can be on the small side and average in decor, etc. Small bathroom with flimsy towels. What Miranda's mother (from TV) and I would call "very French" - you'll know what... More
