to get started.

It is a special place with a very unusual ambiance. We liked it for the warm welcome of the staff and it is simply somehow a cosy place. It is not for people without humor or with luxury expectations. But if you look for a special place well situated at the coast and very good food - just go there! What is very funny and we liked it: you have to make your breakfast on your own.

The location is good and easy to find, large parking lot. The host and staff are very friendly and the room is clean. The host also has a restaurant, you can have supper at the same location.

The location is great. You only have a few minutes walk to the beach and a really nice view from the restaurant and even from our room.

I loved the staff and the food was delicious. The owner grows much of her salads organically. The cury bison and local cheeses with fresh Quebec strawberries. The house is an old presbytery so lots of old original character. Very clean. Breakfast is prepared the night before fresh croissants and banana bread with fresh fruit and homemade jams. You help yourself. I really loved it. The camp fire outside in the back was truly the finishing touch at the end of the day

Very nice "auberge" with very friendly staff. Good beds and very pet friendly. In view of the environment (remote location in a small but interesting village) all was very good :):):) with possibility for outside sitting, fire camp, "baby foot" in a tepee. The maximum done to keep the visitor happy and entertained.

The atmosphere reminded us of a youth hostel. Might not be for everyone - but we loved it! Simple rooms, maybe items from gagage-sales but decorated with lots of love. Lovley hosts, selfmade dinner in the evening, campfire in the garden. Great place for kids and young people and those who stayed young. Great view to the sea.

“Like staying with your 90 year old grandma”

Chaotic. Arrived and through restaurant part with eating guests was directed to the kitchen, from there up the stairs to my room. It was very very small, with squeaky floors and super thin walls. No room for my luggage. Door would not close properly. No decent lighting in the room. I could have lights on bed sides or I could charge my phone, not both. Wifi not working and owners/employees did not care. Breakfast was a mess. I came downstairs and in the kitchen i was told to help myself. Grab a croissant, some butter, some marmalade, kettle for hot water for tea was not working. Just a chaotic mess. Staying here is a bit like camping.
It’s an accommodation with tons of character. Some will like it, some will hate it. It’s but like staying with your 90 year old grand mother. Had nice dinner.

The booking has breakfast included but this was really not good. It was serve your self breakfast what meant go to the fridge and look for some food. This was no problem for us, but the offered bread was old and after a short time almost everything was eaten, so you have to get up early.
The location is great. You only have a few minutes walk to the beach and a really nice view from the restaurant and even from our room.

“Good place to stay when coming to see the whales!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 4 nights
We would have liked to have air conditioning since the room was warm during our stay. We were slightly confused our first morning as to how breakfast worked. Since the hosts are not around, the guests must make a pot of coffee and are allowed to help themselves to the contents of the refrigerator (like staying with relatives) . Croissants, fresh bread and cereals were also availaible for self serve. The breakfast was fine, not knowing how things worked was the problem.
The hosts are very welcoming. We appreciated that they allowed us to bring our 2 chihuahuas. The B & B was in a good location with easy access to the ferry to Tadousac.
