Wooden chalets a bit tired. No blackout blinds. Food was great

Stopped at this hotel on a drive through France and it was great. The staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful. The food is delicious and the pool is a lovely way to unwind after a long drive. The rooms are perhaps a touch basic but they have everything you need and were clean and comfy. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Lovely hoist. Couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. Facilitys great. Would like come back in the summer. Pool looked great. Breakfast very good and great selection.

Good breakfast

Welcome to Les Tours de Fawlty. The chalets are not uncomfortable but basic and thin-walled. Beds are decent, pillows brick-like. The tour de force, however, happens in the restaurant. Having read decent reviews, we were rather looking forward to some simple but good French food. Worth mentioning at this stage that I lived in France for 14 years and speak French. To start, we were rather taken aback by the prices, which are high, particularly by Vierzon standards (we stayed in a competitor establishment last time, which was far more reasonable). We decided to push on, long day, late (8pm), tired. Charcuterie, not bad but at €16 for a slice of paté and a couple of slices of other cured meats, it should have been more generous and better. A skinny foie gras, disappointing. The main course of steak (€28) was tough and bland with no sear, and accompanied by a luke warm potato gratin and some other unidentifiables. That went back, prompting shock from the waitress, disbelief from front of house and utter outrage from the gesticulating breeze-block chef, all of whom took turns to challenge my - clearly ignorant - view of the culinary arts. But the beef is French, Monsieur, and everything is cooked in-house! I expected Manuel to burst in at any moment. Cheese, difficult to get wrong in France. And the tarte tatin, a saving grace from complete disaster. One might be tempted to think of this place as quirky or charmingly anachronistic but, basically, it is sub-par. Skip it if you can.

We have stayed here many times and have always found food, staff and accommodation excellent

Excellent dinner and recommended wine. Absolutely would recommend staying.

Great location just off the motorway. Safe secure parking, restaurant and bar very reasonable prices, maybe they had an off night with the chef when we went, only average.

The service was distinctly lacking. Initially for a booking for 4 only 3 beds were made up, little thing but on top of everything else... No language assistance when struggling. Despite being English I do have limited ability with French and fluent German, but was struggling withe the evening meal. When asking if the was a translation available all that was offered was a non, no offer to explain and no redirecting to the waitress or waiter who could speak English, as we found out later. The room was ok, the pool was small but satisfactory, the breakfast was ok but not extensive. Checkout took too long as the lady on the desk in the morning was busy showing the housekeeping team how to put up garden umbrellas at 9:00 am!

I double booked our family room in error due to the Hotels.com website crashing on me while making the payment. The Owner of the Hotel has very kindly given us a free night on our return journey because of this mishap and he has even thrown in breakfast for us too. He didn’t have to do this as his Hotel is fully booked. We don’t speak French and yet they were very kind to us as they could see we were upset by the error. I would highly recommend this Hotel to anyone. We are looking forward to our last night of our holidays in this lovely, family friendly hotel. 10/10!

Quite good. Convenient near the Freeway for a one night stop. Nice restaurant.

This hotel was a lovely surprise. We stayed one night en route between camping sites. Very close to the motorway but once inside, it’s a peaceful location. We all loved the swimming pool which was very welcome in the August heat. It was spotlessly clean and well maintained. The restaurant was more upscale than expected - the food and service were excellent. We had a family room which was clean and a good size. It was incredibly hot which isn’t the hotel’s fault. Electric fans were provided and helped a lot. We didn’t explore the area at all as we were heading out the next morning (after another swim!) but would definitely recommend the hotel as a great place to break your journey.

Good stay, great food and facilities

This is a beautiful quiet hotel in a convenient position. The chalets are comfortable and the food was delicious.

This was a great find. We normally break our journey through France with overnight breaks near Orleans or Bourges but decided to give Vierzon a try. The Chalet de la Forêt was easy to find, the reception staff were very welcoming and friendly. Our chalet was spacious, clean and air conditioned with a good walk in shower....and a large comfy bed. The evening meal was well devised, well presented, very tasty and more than reasonably priced. Breakfast the next morning was also excellent ... the staff again very friendly. Would we stay again? Yes, without doubt!

Outstanding dinner, in a quiet corner of the large grounds.

Lovely hotel for breaking our journey down South. Nice food, comfortable room, lovely pool.

Good stopover heading south to Languedoc. Chalet was spacious clean and comfortable. Food at evening meal, taken outside on terrace has improved. Menu de terroir is better than previous. Good choice at breakfast to set us up for next day's driving.

Perfectly situated and dog friendly!! Superb gardens for them and a great dinner for us.
