The Clos is a beautiful historic building looking over a secluded walled garden. It is completely quiet, yet within easy walking distance of the centre of Le Mans and all the main attractions (apart from the racing circuit). The building is beautifully furnished with antiques, and our room on the first floor was huge - with an almost equally large bathroom. The bed was really comfortable. Breakfast was excellent, including a range of home made jams, some made with fruit from the garden. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, and we had some good conversations in a mixture of French and English. One bonus is that there are free secure parking spaces available in a nearby underground garage - the owners request that you reserve in advance, presumably to ensure the spaces aren’t taken by other guests.

Nothing at all - this place is highly recommendable.

What lovely owners who were so friendly and helpful. They were perfect hosts and made us feel very welcome. They helped with restaurant reservation and gave useful information on the sights of the city. The breakfast was great and they were so kind to provide gluten free options...what a treat! The room was spacious, tasteful and authentic I appreciated the quality of the bed linen and towels. All very thoughtful. It was a quiet location and we managed to park on the road outside the accommodation, then it was a short walk into the old part of the city.

It was all great.

Such a beautiful house and gardens in a great location in Le Mans close to all amenities with plenty of bars and restaurants and the beautiful medieval old town. All within walking distance. The house is very comfortable with great beds. Bernaud and his wife were great hosts and gave us restaurant recommendations and advice for our one night stop over trip. Such a lovely couple. Very warm and hospitable. Breakfast was great too and nothing was too much trouble.

There wasn't anything we didn't like. What might be nice is to have tea and coffee facilities in the room for a late night/early morning cuppa. I'm sure Bernaud and his wife would accommodate this but it would be nice not to have to disturb them.

What lovely hosts, so friendly and helpful, breakfast as it should be, all sat round a big dining table with delicious homemade preserves and cakes, lovely bread etc.6

This is about France overall, please, when you offer tea, can you use freshly boiled water and pour it over the tea bag/leaves, it doesn't infuse very well with just hot water. It is as much an art to us Brits as coffee is to the French, but apart from my little niggle everything else was rosy

Very friendly welcome, able to understand english when my french is very little. Bernard and wife offered french hospitality at its best. Even homemade cakes and jams! Continental breakfast but fab. Peaceful location, prefect walk into Cathedral area and a car garage... Please make sure you offer and pay the local taxes ... keep it independent!

Our room was perfect with air con too, only downside - take a small overnight bag, if your room is on 2nd floor narrow stairs. Unlikely you will manage large suitcase - but talk to Bernard if booking in advance :-)

Lovely, fantastic people. They allowed me to put my old MG in their private courtyard overnight. The breakfast is exactly what you expect in France but seldom delivers - these have it right. Massive comfy bed and a great hot shower - perfect

Traffic through Le Mans was horrific - not their fault but it took an hour and a half from the end of the peage / ring road to get to.

This is a gem very close to the main square and old town in Le Mans. Comfortable and large room with modern facilities in a beautiful old building . Classic French breakfast with great home made jam. Secure free 'residents' underground parking a minute away. And lovely hosts! Couldn't have asked for more, a shame we couldn't have stayed longer. We'll be back

A fantastic breakfast which was laid out by our lovely hosts. Great central position which is an easy walk into the old city and cathedral . Secure parking was also a great bonus

Nothing - we were there for only one night but if you were there for more than that some tea/ coffee making facilities in the room would be helpful

Beautiful , sympathetically renovated old house in a central location . Helpful proprietors who arranged parking and had lots of information re Le Mans . We were only staying one night en route to ferry but could happily have stayed longer . The room was large and appropriately decorated in the house style

Nothing

Lovely old house with all mod cons. Very helpful hosts. Great breakfast. Lots of information given about visiting the incredible old town. If you visit in the summer, you must stay up for the light show!

Explain to guests that the only name on the establishment is a 2 on a huge green door, making it easier to find.
