"Escaliers compliqué pour accéder à la chambre "

"We got a friendly and efficient reception. Unfortunately, that proved to be the only good aspect of our stay. We received an email the day before arrival telling us that we should check in at the neighbouring Ibis hotel due to work on the Novotel reception. There was no mention of extensive work going on in the restaurant/bar area. I have no idea whether the restaurant was even open as signage directed you in to what looked like building work. Contrast this with another hotel on our trip where far more minor work was going on that had no effect on our stay. However, we received three messages prior to our stay informing us of work being carried out. I feel that we should have received far more pre stay information regarding the work and should have received it much earlier than the day before arrival. Our room looked dated and in need of a complete overhaul. It was far below the standard we’ve experienced at other Novotels. Very disappointing."

"More choice at breakfast. Kettle in room. More towel "

"The self check in was not working when we arrived. So we had to wait over 1 hour for the receptionist to arrive. When you have been driving for over 6 hours and tired this is not great. Apart from that, the hotel & staff were nice. "

"We had a great holiday in Vingrau.Positives Great view from the giteVery well equippedGreat rooms size and having 2 bathrooms is great for a family.The owner was brilliant and very responsive to any requests.Quiet locationPool is a great size and a nice cooling site. Shamed it is shared with the other gite on site.NegativesLack of air conditioning in the gite despite the description on Vrbo ( we were told before coming but were told that the gite stayed cool in the summer ) this became a struggle due to the high temperatures encountered.Location is a bit far from shops.Overall we really enjoyed the region and the proximity to the sea, the french markets and to Spain. We also visited Carcassonne which we loved."

"Just needed to turn up and relax, everything needed was to hand. Obviously been a family home in the past with all the treasures of the past.Loved the various terraces and the area under the Mulberry Trees relaxing in the hammock or in recliners. Peace abd tranquilty and such birdsong including being serenaded by a Nightingale! Stunning setting for a village. Visited inland and the coast (Collioure being our favourite) during our 1 week visit. Temperatures were 31oC on our last day. The only thing I would caution is the staircase to the upper 2 bedrooms, which is not something the family can do anything about. Risky for older people with mobility issues or children. Would love to come back and spend longer here. "
