Merlin sur Saint-Aignan

01/09/2024: If I could give more than 5 stars I would! I was in the area recently and needed a place to stay for 2 nights. I always research where I stay and this place had some really good reviews and of course a handful of not great reviews (like most places). I decided to stay here, and let me tell you the people who left ridiculously bad reviews clearly live a strange life. This restaurant/lodging was in every way perfect. And trust me, I travel enough to know good vs not so good! The rooms were clean and comfortable and just what I needed and the food was super. And talk about a nice atmosphere just to sit and hang out!!!! The owners were so accommodating and I enjoyed talking to them a lot. I recommend the chicken caesar salad and you can't go wrong with any of the burgers. This is a total diamond for locals and traveller's. Thanks so much for making me feel welcome and making it a great stay!

19/08/2024: We spent 1 night at the Black Dog, had dinner and breakfast. We were well received. The pub is cozy, you feel good there. Bedroom 5 is comfortable. The charcuterie and cheese board was plentiful and was enough for dinner, no need to add a burger....just dessert. Breakfast is complete and free if you book directly on their site. Thank you John for the little musical attention in the morning for us Metalheads passing through.
