Le Vieux Logis

We had arranged four rooms for family and friends coming to our wedding, booking months ahead and seeing the deposit cheque cashed right away. We only wanted the Saturday, but the owner charged us for two nights. Then, less than a week before the wedding, she cancelled all our bookings because of staff problems. Completely unacceptable. Avoid this place.

The room was fine and breakfast was good, but the host's manner was cold and strange. There was also a credit card issue, and on the phone they said the place was full to push us to book quickly, even though it was actually empty. We were charged 7 euros to park in the courtyard, something that wasn't stated in the price on Booking.com or at the property. I've read reviews from guests who said they felt trapped in the closed courtyard after refusing to pay bills they disputed, for meals they hadn't been given or for parking. Apparently complaints have been made to the police.

Of all the B&Bs we visited, this was the only one that let us down. We were greeted terribly, almost rudely, and the host seemed cold and strange throughout. The room's decor was tasteless, with plastic flowers everywhere, a tiny TV, and towels and a bathrobe whose cleanliness was questionable. There was a strong smell of cat urine around the place. Dinner was priced at 40 euros per person, but they didn't say what would be served, so we didn't order it. The pool was advertised as heated, yet when we asked the "hostess" if the water was fresh, she said it depended on the sun. Breakfast was supposed to start at 8:30 am. We arrived at 8:55, but she said it would only be served once the cleaner started at 9, so we left without eating. Dirty dishes left on the bench before we arrived were still there when we left, and laundry was hanging in the hallways. She also charged us 5 euros for courtyard parking. We told her the review would reflect the poor service. This B&B should be removed from your list of addresses.

AVOID THIS PLACE! THE WELCOME WAS AWFUL AND THERE WERE SCAMS. I've stayed in plenty of hotels and gites and have had a few problems before, but this place was in a league of its own for dishonesty. The owner was vulgar and seemed driven by money. I booked online using my card number, then called to ask if a late arrival might be possible with their agreement. A very unpleasant woman on the phone said yes and said she'd call me just before 20:00 to arrange my reception. I heard nothing, so I went to the hotel at 20:15. The owner was hysterical, odious, and vulgar, and there was no way to communicate with her. The whole thing was pathetic. I left without a room and was out on the street. She charged my card that same evening. It was a miserable experience. Be warned, I don't think I'll leave it at that.
