Pinel-Hauterive Holidays from £324

The property advertising is very misleading. Where was the pool? Where was the onsite catering aside from breakfast? The accomodation was okay, if very isolated. No daytime cafes, just a couple of restaurants that only open for lunch, sometimes dinner. The fridge in my room didn’t work, so I couldn’t bring in an improvised meal. Like one other reviewer, I felt like I wanted my money back! So misleading!

Even though I only stayed one night, the experience was amazing. Meticulous attention to detail, making my stay a very memorable one. The food is incredible, whether you choose to dine A La Carte or try one of their very well put together Degustacion menus. Great selection of wine and they take great deal of pride in presenting the local Bordeaux region, its wines and local delicacies. Highly recommended.

First of all, all region was a bit rundown and overpriced. So if you plan to stay in Bordeaux, even for one night, I recommend to review you choice. But it is well connected to the center via tram and till midnight and all hotels have their parking. Coming to the hotel, the house keeping was pretty irregular and dissatisfying. I have finished very little provided liquid soap and tissues, no body came and checked. I picked new ones up from the reception and no one from the house keeping bothered to put them into their containers. Same was true for the body wash (single miracle cleaning solution for everything!!!) On the amenities side, things were also pretty basic: espresso machine with pods you need to search at the reception, there is no kettle so you need to search for the hot water at the reception. And for the drinking water promised, you also need to search cold, probably filtered, tap water there. So all and all, it was not a very convenient stay in term of hotel services. Especially if you go for business, I don’t recommend staying there.

Beautiful chic property. Loved it. Loved waking up to the Owl :)
