Fawlty Chateau
Posted 17 May 2019 on HotelsWe chose the hotel carefully hoping for a night in a unique setting and a romantic meal. On arrival we found a lovely chateau in its own grounds with a view of the Pyrenees in the distance.
At the reception area a young girl greeted us without a smile, checked our paperwork and did not offer any more information. I later had to go back downstairs to ask for the WiFi code.
and dinner this evening? "No, there is only me here!" She told us offering a tiny pizza bar a shirt distance away. It was very small and lacked atmosphere as it had no customers.
We drove to an E Leclerc supermarket nearby, had a glass of wine at the bar then bought some local cheese and a baguette plus a bottle of cider which we consumed in our chateau room.
The room was ancient and charming with a good bathroom and shower but the u
UPVC windowsill almost snapped off if you leaned out to open the shutters. The bedside shelf Came away from the wal when I put a book down on it.
Bedroom lighting very poor with no bedside reading light - the shelf would never bear its weight!
Breakfast served by a silent waitress, no greeting, stale croisant and help yourself from the main table.
A great disappointment which had promised a memorable stay with romantic meal. As it was this is a superb location for a sequel to Fawlty Towers

Overnight stop
Posted 3 Mar 2015
Pros: Beautifully converted old Chateau. Enjoyable cold breakfast.
Cons: Improve WiFi, did not work in room. Provide bedside table both sides.
Ensure Expedia booking note for dinner reservation is received by the hotel.
Location: Excellent restaurant in nearby town of Tarbes, Le Petit Gourmet
Enjoyable stay, good change to stay in a unique hotel instead of a chain hotel.

Great Plac - Lovely, Welcoming Owners
Posted 25 May 2014 on HotelsLoved it! The place is gorgeous - still a work in progress but this does not impinge on guests at all. The owners were very friendly and welcoming, happy to show before-and-after photos of the restoration. The beds were comfy, the bathroom very nice, and the breakfast excellent. Was a bit worried when on Google maps I saw it was close to road - but the road is quiet and all the rooms are facing the other way, so whisper-quiet all night. Lovely garden with view of the Pyrenees.The owner even gave us a bottle of wine as we left! A lovely place to stay - absolutely recommended - will definitely go back.

Wonderful Service.
Posted 26 Mar 2014 on HotelsThis small hotel was spotless. GPS was essential in finding it due to the remote location. The dinner they fixed was awesome. They spoke French and a little Spanish, but no English. Never the less we were able to communicate with them. Definitely a place to return too!
