"Great location, good room. Old building could use a refresh (eg bars holding carpet down in the stairs were coming undone). Staff was good but inconstant in helpfulness/warmth (eg. We travelled with another party and I asked if we could have our tables next to one another at breakfast. she was a bit annoyed and reluctantly swapped the tables. I did not ask in advance, however we were the first guests and the breakfast room was completely empty.)"

"Not what we expected very surprised to find loo and bathroom on ground floor and shared with all inhabitants of the house. So surprised during a pandemic that only used things to a minimum also no hand gel provided. Do not feel house was made to be a BnB more like barging into someone's private house."

The couple that own the property were very friendly and welcoming. Our check in was quick and easy. The room itself was beautiful. The bathroom gave that little something extra. We sat in the garden until the sun went down. Breakfast was fit for a king and was a wonderful finish to a superb stay. Highly recommend

This was an excellent place, beautifully situated, generous and comfortable bedroom, lovely staff, a wonderful breakfast.
We arrived very late at night, the hotel had made arrangements for us and there was no difficulty on arrival. Greatly appreciated.

Beautiful French house. Lovely furniture and very comfortable beds. The gardens are full of beautiful trees and flowers. Delicious breakfast and great service. Swimming pool away from the house for weary travellers. A trip back in time and much appreciated.

This place is a little gem, nested in the countryside with a fantastic vibe. The host is extremely kind and clearly made a great work with the place, the room was perfect for my family of 4 and we all loved the stay. The breakfast was definitely the best in our month-long vacation in France. When going again to the Loire valley, I'd definitely be coming back a La Source de Bury to use as a base to visit the many castles in the area.

This hotel was a highlight of our recent tour around France. Located in gorgeous french countryside, with wonderful facilities of heated hot tub, heated pool and tennis courts included as well as bike hire. Rooms are beautifully French and there are lovely seating options in the library and gardens to enjoy some of your locally purchased wines, cheeses and other goodies. A special mention to the staff, who ever does the staff hiring and training at this hotel really knows their stuff; reception...

Friendly, helpful Staff, we booked less than an hour before we arrived, great welcome, and the Person that checked us in offered a lot of assistance to allow us watch a World Cup Football Match online later in the evening.... Thank you!

From the location, just off the ring road roundabout, you would not think of this hotel - and what a treat you would miss. Stepping back in time, a gracious age, soft lighting and yet modern convenience. A lovely, spacious room with style and fun.
Lovely staff, so helpful and friendly.
A treat to find, a joy to stay.

Excellent stay. The team were very welcoming on arrival, the room very clean and kept that way daily. Such a nice relaxing environment, with great breakfast and a really nice Brasserie. Stayed in the Junior Suite which had a nice terrace area overlooking the gardens and good AC!

The hotel host was amazingly friendly and helpful, even coming to assist us after the desk had closed on Sunday.
All information was communicated clearly, and they have a lovely garden, with secure parking too.
There was also a lovely Italian restaurant nearby.
Would definitely stay again.

The best area to stay in Pray is the village centre, particularly around the Château de Pray.
The Château de Pray, a historic castle now operating as a hotel, forms the heart of the village. It's surrounded by beautiful, expansive grounds and offers views of the Loire River. The area is characterised by its peaceful, rural setting, offering an escape from the hustle and bustle.
This area is particularly well-suited for couples looking for a romantic and tranquil getaway. The château itself provides a luxurious experience with fine dining and comfortable accommodations.
When is the best time to go to Pray?
The best time to go to Pray is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) months.
During these periods, the weather is pleasantly mild, making it ideal for exploring the local countryside and historic sites without the intense heat of summer or the chill of winter. You'll find the gardens and vineyards at their most picturesque, great for leisurely strolls or cycling tours. While Pray itself is a smaller village, these months offer comfortable conditions for day trips to nearby châteaux and towns like Blois and Vendôme.
The summer months (July and August) are also popular, offering warm, sunny weather great for enjoying outdoor activities and al fresco dining. However, it can get quite hot, and you might encounter more visitors, especially at the major attractions in the Loire Valley.
