Booked via Booking.com and hotel excellent value Room was a little on the small side but very clean with tastefully refurbished shower room Would have benefited from tea making facility but we had our own. No lift to first floor rooms given the structure of the building and somewhat of a struggle to get full sized case up the stairs... More

We booked via Booking.com with no problem, although it did say we had the last double room! On arrival the hotel was closed, restaurant closed, no one about, we had been left a note with our key and directions to the room, so no welcome there! A tiny compact room but clean. Drain smell in tiny shower room, however it... More

The French are popularly portrayed as excessively formal, unfailingly polite but not exactly open and warm. Forget the stereotype at the Hotel du Lac - Mme Lakey and her staff are genuinely welcoming and friendly, to the point of enjoying a lengthy chat with you. "Tres chaleureuse" as the French say. We couldn't have been happier here with our functional... More

Definitely 2-star serviceable in structure and decor. The room, overlooking the lake, was compact but neat and clean. I booked online and mentioned that I was vegetarian, but this info went unnoticed. Everything savoury on the dinner menu contained meat or fish. Most chefs are happy to assemble a platter of the vegetables already prepared to accompany the day's dishes;... More

Too few Staff and a touch of Faulty Towers. Service all round was poor although Madam Patron was friendly enough - "but you just cant get the staff these days" was the excuse. Small room with a view of the kitchen extractor chimney was not good. Lovely new bathroom but that lacked a razor point and towel rails. Dinner was... More

We stayed for a week and found the staff to be very helpful, cheerful and welcoming with a particularly attractive receptionist. Our room overlooked the lake and was clean and comfortable. The local menu food was delicious, well presented and served with style. I had no problems when asking for extra croissants at breakfast! Combourg has several good places to... More

Nothing special about this hotel, wasn't impressed from the moment we arrived, Room wasn't available when we arrived at 12:30, which didn't matter too much as we walked around the lake and had lunch. When we arrived back and booked in, the receptionist spoke no English and even after we explained in french that we didn't speak French, he still... More

My family live nearby Combourg and we went to the restaurant for a mid-week family lunch and it was amazing! Nothing was too much trouble and the food was fab! beautifully prepared, cooked and presented with the usual French flair! I am a veggie and although there was nothing vegetarian on the menu except the deserts, they produced a fab... More

We stayed here for one night on our way through France with our two daughters and booked a family room. The room was very small with decor from the 70's (and furniture probably!). The adjoining room we were promised for the children was little more than a cupboard to the side of our room, again all very shabby and in... More
