Victorian Lodge

N/A

Clean comfy No one collects dinner money. Then in the morning you forget and have to get money back to them. Not a good system.

The facility was very clean and the rooms comfortable and spacious. And the location is excellent! Our greeting upon arrival was very confusing and the staff person quite rude. It set a very sour tone that was difficult to overcome. Also, well everything was very clean and well tended, the room was lacking sp certain amenities - soap, for example. An there was no staff person in the house to help out. Breakfast was fine, but again there were no staff people anywhere.

Breakfast was continental but amazing! Staff are even more amazing! The rooms are large and comfortable with aircon and bathrooms are large and spotlessly clean. Great location next to the square where the small cafe’ serves great snacks, paninis etc. and lovely cold beer! Ohhhh and wine or a fruit based drink for the ladies ??? This is not a criticism more like friendly information for visitors……. This lovely hotel is a stop-over for pilgrims and therefore, because they always only stay one night and are up early the next day for the rest of the pilgrimage, breakfast is 0700-0730 (although you can come down at 0800 and still have breakfast we sometimes found that the pilgrims helped themselves to a lot of breakfast using it as lunch for the journey! ?

Comfortable room - good kitchen with everything we needed to put our dinner together Location was central and breakfast was excellent! There was some cheese and croissants

Central location in village; large, comfortable and nicely decorated room; great shower; good generous size breakfast. Not geared for pilgrims or walkers on the chemin, more for tourists. No one to greet us. There was a sign on the door that if no one was present, call a particular number or go to the restaurant which was a block away. Another pilgrim couple and I walked to the restaurant, after having already walked a stage in the chemin and waited in a bar for check in to be available, but no one answered. We walked back to the hotel and tried again, but still no one present. Unfortunately since we were all from overseas, we didn't have a functioning phone to call the number in France. Finally, another pilgrim arrived who was able to contact the number. The woman who answered arrived a few minutes later, greeted us, showed us our rooms and gave me a brief tour of the breakfast area but then she had to leave as she explained she was managing other properties. Another pilgrim who had inquired about dinner when making room reservation was told that a reservation to the restaurant, which had the same owner as the hotel, would be made for her and that it would be 20e. I joined this pilgrim for dinner as did the other pilgrims staying at the hotel. Dinner ended up being 28e (without drinks). A woman who didn't eat dessert because she didn't eat lactose products was charged the same price. My order was misunderstood even when the French woman I was with had explained that I don't eat poultry at the time of the order, so my dinner had to be sent back. I had to wait for my correct dinner while everyone else had finished. The cook/owner(?) did apologize, but others noted how she was colder to us after the confusion. I had stayed in a variety of accommodations including other hotels while doing the chemin as I prefer private rooms with private bathrooms, but with dinner, this ended up being the second most expensive place I stayed in during my 32 night stay in France.

Very large room which was excellent and enjoyable group breakfast. Ample facilities to dry off very wet clothes and boots. Mould growing in one corner of the room

Right on GR65, beautiful house with eclectic decorations, good breakfast Saggy bed,

Host was not there at all.

Lovely home with very kind hosts. Nothing

The charm of the age of the home and how big and grand it was On booking the property I believed that it had a restaurant as there were pictures of food on the site. However when we got there you would have to go to a restaurant in the square. Now this r we oils not be so bad but it did not open on a Monday and this should have been related to us visiting booking . Com. It let it down greatly as it is deceitful to let people think they would get some decent French food when we ended up with food I could easily get at home.

Loved everything. Our room was spacious and perfect. Breakfast great. Communication excellent. Thankyou.

The gîte was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was good. I had contacted the location when I made the reservation asking if they served dinner. They told me that they did not but that I could have dinner at the nearby restaurant that they owned. (Restaurants are often closed on Mondays in France.) The woman who checked me in told me the same thing. When I went to the restaurant at 7 pm, it was closed. The sign on the door said it should be open. By this time all of local stores were closed. After a long day of hiking on the Chemin du Puy not having dinner was a bad way to end the day. The owner should have not let this happen.

It was a very large, comfy bedroom. In fact we were the only ones in the hotel. I saw a staff member for no longer than 2 mins … otherwise on our own. Quirky decor-, Chinese, British and American Knick-knacks, taxidermy animals and lots of pictures on the wall…. made me feel like Basil Fawlty would walk in the room any moment. A pleasant stay though the town of Montreal de Gers was abandoned…. No restaurant or service of any kind. We ate microwaved food from a convenience store.

Beautiful spacious rooms Access was a bit difficult would of been nice if they had sent us the code to get in beforehand

The hostess was very helpful finding a place to stay. Booking.con had messed up my booking and I didn’t have anyplace to stay. She helped me find a place

Enduring was fine.

Decor Everything was good

Great spacious room tastefully decorated. Very nice sitting room and friendly host. Dinner in their restaurant was good (open on a Sunday night).

Very good
