Logis Hôtel Auberge de la Vallée Verte — Restaurant in Dreux

After several visits to this wonderful place it is time to write a review.||We discovered the hotel by accident on the way to our house in France. ||We needed to break the journey so just looked on the satnav for the nearest and most appealing sounding place. We were certainly not disappointed. The rooms are impeccable and those in the annexe are very well suited to self caterers or perhaps small families. ||The menu was varied and well prepared, although not too much for a small team to cope with. There is a fish menu which is paired with excellent wines matched to each course. This is always a bit too much for us to cope with as we have usually just spent several hours travelling so do not need a gourmand dinner. Whatever we have chosen has been of very good quality and impeccably cooked and served. The wine list is fantastic, and coffee and cognac after dinner almost obligatory.||Breakfast is always fresh, enjoyable and of good quality. All in all, this is one of our favourite...

We were driving up from south east France and weren't sure how far north we'd get so we only booked via the Logis website that very morning. As another reviewer has said, unfortunately it was a Monday, and we had also chosen this hotel for its restaurant reviews. On our way, I received a phone call from Nathalie, the proprietress, and had the explanation the other reviewer explained. We were given a choice of a room in the hotel or one of the self-catering rooms across the road which we took. Nathalie had left cards for a few nearby restaurants, but we were happy to use the kitchen facilities and have a picnic, courtesy of a local supermarket! Sitting outside our room in the sun was a lovely compensation for missing dinner in the hotel restaurant!||We opted to only have coffee and croissants for breakfast the next morning, so can't comment on breakfast, but we'd definitely return here--but not on a Monday! Nathalie keeps a very clean and lovely auberge, and the restaurant...
