A fabulous place to stay .. central ...close to historic sites and mountains for walking or skiing and the Compostela path is at the back door. Hotel has magnificant panaramic views as well! Rooms are large and very comfortable. A highlight for us was the hotel's restaurant... stunning food and the local wine is fantastic. Some of the best local vintage we have ever tasted..magnificant dining. Our host was very helpful and so knowledgable about local sites.

The location of this Auberge could not be better, placed as it is in the middle of beautiful French countryside, and from our bedroom window we could see the mountains of both Andorra and Spain. We arrived early and received a great welcome from the owner David, who is rightfully proud of the renovation work he and his wife have doneon the property. We had a drink out on the patio and took in the wonderful scenery before going for a short walk along the pilgrim trail that runs behind the hotel. The evening meal was a la carte standard and breakfast the next morning was very good. My wife and I definitely plan to try and return here again in the future.

We found the welcome very freindly and the rooms were spotlessly clean. The view of the pyrenees on a clear day is fabulous. A very quiet spot in lovely countryside and very good value for money.

The welcome was warm,the ambience ideal and the views are superb. Both myself and my travelling companion were very pleased that l had booked to stay here. The position is prefect for exploring the surrounding areas. Whilst there we visited Andorra,Perpignan,Toulouse and many other interesting places. The food was also excellent with full English breakfast available if required.l would highly recommend a stay here. There is very little that l can mention,maybe the drive up into the parking area is rather too steep just as you reach the hotel and it can catch you out if you are not going fast enough.Other than that l can't think of anything, though I'm sure having read other reviews that their are.

If you prefer crowded, noisy cities, this is not the place for you. This is a peaceful, quiet country inn with a gorgeous view of the Pyrenees and surrounding countryside. The owners, an English couple, are very hospitable and are flawlessly multilingual. They are excellent cooks and the dinner and breakfast we had there were very enjoyable. This was an easy and scenic drive from Carcassonne, an excellent base for exploring the Cathar country, and an excellent value. There is nothing negative about this place. It's great.

A l'auberge,accueil chaleureux et propriétaire dévoué. Bon rapport qualité/prix. Agréable piste cyclable au départ de Mirepoix jusque Lavelanet (VTC oblige!).Mirepoix est une cité médiévale pittoresque où il fait bon s'arrêter et se reposer à la terrasse des cafés.

Els voltants, el silenci, l'atenció del personal, tot perfecte! A l'esmorzar per 6'5 € he trobat a faltar alguna cosa més a part del cafè, torrades I croissants, potser alguna cosa de la terra, però la resta perfecte!
