Chambre d'Hôte for exploring Gaillac and Albi

I found this to be a traditional Chambre d'Hôte, where you don't feel you are in a hotel but rather a guest in the house of the owners. My room was comfortable and quiet, the breakfasts were very good, and the hosts were welcoming. What more do you need? The house is about a 10-minute walk from Gaillac across the river. It is also a fairly short drive into Albi, which is a small city that is well worth exploring.

Great location, super hosts, copious breakfast ...

We'd definitely recommend The Squirrel's Nest. A lovely house and owners. Our room was great, spacious en suite bathroom, air conditioning which with temperatures of 40 degrees outside (canicule), was really appreciated, tea and coffee making facilities on the landing. An easy walk into Gaillac for dinner (bring a torch) and not far from routes to Albi and Toulouse. Breakfast outside in the shade of trees and the company of other guests and our hosts was delightful. Croissants, bread, homemade jams and cake, as well as freshly made crepes. Merci Michel et Marie. Bisous.

Nous avons adoré notre séjour au Nid de l’Ecureuil. Très belle chambre, propre et parfaitement tenue, dans un charmant petit village. Les hôtes sont absolument adorables et attentionnés. La salle de bain est très agréable avec une excellente douche qui caresse délicatement la peau et le corps – un vrai moment de bien-être à chaque fois ! Le petit-déjeuner est exceptionnel : la plupart des produits sont faits maison (délicieuse confiture de figues, dessert aux œufs, crêpes fraîches…) et nous ont vraiment fait plaisir. Nous recommandons cette adresse sans aucune hésitation !
