Hôtel de Biencourt

This hotel was a delight from the moment we met the manager to the time we left the following morning. We were on a cycling tour with UTracks. Our bikes had a secure garage where they were stored. Our suitcases were already waiting in our rooms. The rooms were beautifully appointed as was the entire hotel. Breakfast was well catered for and the hotel location made it easy to find a restaurant close by for dinner. A very charming place that can be highly recommended.

We had an excellent 2 night stay at the Biencourt. Our room, on the ground floor with its own outside seating in the courtyard of this old school building, was charming - very clean and comfortable. While the rooms do not have a mini-bar, the Hotel offers a shared fridge accessible at any time next to the breakfast room, which was a nice touch! The breakfast focusses on fresh local produce and was very good. We opted to park our car at the Chateau car park for the duration of the stay and this worked fine. The car park is only a couple of hundred meters from the hotel and works out at EUR 7 night when validated by the hotel. (It's much more expensive if you don't get it validated. Once validated, you can leave and return freely for the period you have opted to validate). Alternatively, the hotel also has its own limited garage parking at the same cost which is a little closer. Free street parking, albeit a little further away, is also potentially available. If needed, the hotel can supply a code for the electric street bollard (since the hotel is located on a largely pedestrianised street) allowing you to stop briefly outside to load and unload. Azay has a number of good restaurants but we suspect they can get busy at all but the quietest of times so worth booking. The hotel management couldn’t have been more helpful or responsive (And spoke very good English!) - we would definitely stay again.

We had a 3 day stay, a fabulous family run hotel in a pedestrian zone, very clean, very comfortable, excellent air conditioning, superb breakfast with lovely homemade jams and cakes by Thomas partner, Thomas is a fantastic host very attentive to all needs, nothing seems to be any trouble, he speaks excellent English so we didn’t have to wade through our very bad French, fabulous quiet village with plenty of restaurants to suit all needs, and the Chateau is 70 metres from the Hotel door, what more could you want
