Relais des Landes Restaurant sur Ouchamps

We chose the Relais des Landes for its ideal location near the Loire Valley châteaux, for the image conveyed by its website—promising a relaxing setting—and for the advertised New Year's Eve dinner by a fireplace, in the romantic style typical of the region. The welcome was excellent, courteous, and professional, and we thanked the reception staff for it. However, when asked if our stay had gone well, we felt it necessary to be honest. Having regularly stayed in 4-star hotels, we must say that this establishment falls short of their standard and services, and that the value for money is, as it stands, very disappointing. The room was a real disappointment: aging in every way, with a damaged bed frame, a basic bedside table (a simple plank set into the wall), a very old television, and dated, incoherent decor—even a picture containing… the room's wallpaper. The bathroom was small and lacked the amenities and attention to detail expected in a hotel of this category (old hairdryer, etc.). The housekeeping also left much to be desired: visible dust (dust bunnies under the bed), a dusty remote control, and after the first night, a barely made bed—the duvet simply pulled up—which is unacceptable for a 4-star hotel. Without having pre-booked dinner for December 31st, we would have left the hotel before even settling in, and we seriously considered it. However, the staff were kind enough to place our table near the fireplace for New Year's Eve, which convinced us to stay. We had initially planned to spend the afternoon of the 31st at the hotel to relax and enjoy the facilities, but given the room, we decided against the offered massage and opted to visit the spa at another establishment. Upon our return, we witnessed a public and offensive reprimand directed at a member of the reception staff by someone in charge of preparing the dinner seating plan—a particularly inappropriate scene in front of the other guests. Regarding the New Year's Eve dinner: while the setting was undeniably pleasant, the food itself fell short of expectations, lacking finesse. Fortunately, the service staff were very attentive and greatly contributed to making the experience more enjoyable. Breakfast also proved to be below the expected standard for a 4-star hotel. Without reiterating the arguments already extensively raised in the establishment's responses to other reviews (local cheeses, etc.), it is nonetheless difficult to justify refilling a jar of jam that was already empty the day before. In short, a very disappointing stay—especially for a honeymoon—with a price-quality ratio that clearly did not meet expectations. We would nevertheless like to warmly thank the gentleman at reception for his availability and responsiveness, the young woman who served us at dinner on the 31st, as well as the gentleman—presumably the owner—for his professionalism during service and his commendable knowledge of the wines offered. However, a thorough reassessment seems necessary for the future of this establishment, and we believe that carefully listening to customer feedback—particularly from those familiar with upscale hotels—would be beneficial.

A truly beautiful place. A magnificent hotel with a large and pleasant park offering a swimming pool, walking paths, outdoor games, and more. The rooms are perfect, the staff delightful, the hotel's decor is impeccable, and the restaurant is a true delight. The prices are reasonable considering the quality offered. Don't hesitate to book for an event, a stay near the castles, or to surprise your sweetheart.

Slept very well in peace and quiet

Perfect for cozying up in winter.

Lovely hotel with excellent service but off the beaten track. Still well worth a visit.

A beautiful, welcoming establishment with impeccable service. The staff is attentive to guests. The restaurant is by far one of the best we've dined at recently, and we are connoisseurs of fine dining. The breakfast was complete, simple yet delicious. I highly recommend it.

We had a very pleasant stay at Le Relais des Landes, located in a beautiful and peaceful setting. Our room was spotless and comfortable. The service and breakfast were excellent, including the extra options! The quality and attention to detail are evident throughout. A big thank you to Mathis, the receptionist, who embodies excellent service: as the restaurant's set menu that evening didn't suit me, he demonstrated remarkable professionalism and genuine care by immediately finding us a wonderful restaurant in Blois. He wasn't obligated to do so, but this gesture to ensure our complete satisfaction was very much appreciated and demonstrates the team's commitment. We highly recommend this hotel for the quality of its welcome, services, and staff.

We booked the entire estate for our wedding on October 18, 2025. Our guests were all charmed by the estate, the rooms, and the incredibly kind staff. We had the wedding of our dreams in a magnificent setting, and we were so lucky with the beautiful weather. We were able to hold our secular ceremony and cocktail reception in the park. For our meal, we enjoyed the veranda. The chef created a perfect menu for this unforgettable day, and the brunch the following day was also perfect. We would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Parisis, who exceeded our expectations from beginning to end. You are all wonderful; thank you again for making our dream wedding possible. Cristina and Michael

Top The lodges in the park are spacious and comfortable. They have a small terrace and are not overlooked.
