The larger rooms have a good outlook, shutters and are peaceful but central and rear rooms are small. All are very tired and the plumbing is aweful, my suite had almost no hot water and so I had to go downstairs, across a courtyard and up another flight to find a small cupboard with an old sink and working shower (plastic) and hand-held unit. I paid 57E for the room and a minimal continental breakfast. Best feature was the quiet and garaging but otherwise avoid Valencay as almost nowhere to eat. more
