Auberge Les Écureuils Restaurant Creperia Bar

"Myself and my civil partner stayed here for 2 weeks(14 nights) this August, basing our walking in the entire area of the Pyrennees. The proprietor was not unfriendly, he was VERY busy. There was no hint of homophobia, there was no hint of discourtesy. Mr and Mrs Lafitte were very professional and the young staff were excellent. The hotel dogs were lovely and a part of the family. Mrs. Lafitte helped me arrange a surprise bottle of champage for my partner, and the dessert had candles on it, which I had not ordered. I can completely refute any negative reviews of this establishment, which had, to be honest, scared us off, but we WILL be back. Of note, the food was superb, and the setting is lovely."

"This place is a dream! After reading so many other positive reports we decide to stay one night on the way to Spain. What a pity we didn´t arrange to stay for more!. The location , the hotel, and the food!!!! We stayed in room K, a large well furnished room with a lovely view. Apart from the friendly service by the owners, we can recommend it for anyone who is a gastronomic fanatic. The menu at Euros 30 is outstanding value. How they manage to prepare such exquisite food at that low price, in a place in the middle of nowhere is beyond me. The best thing is to go and try it; you wont be disappointed. A perfect location for anyone who loves peace and quiet, walking in the forests and eating great food."

"We stayed at this hotel for three nights last week and thoroughly enjoyed it. The hotel is very homely, and we got the sense the owners take great pride in it. The dining room is particularly nice, and the little lounges are also great for sitting and reading. The swimming pool looks great (didn't get time to use it) while the bedroom we stayed in was very comfortable. All our meals were wonderful, and we also had a great picnic provided by the hotel when we went off walking to a local Col. All in all very good value for money."

"We stopped here on our last night of our trip through the Pyrenees. When we first arrived the receptionist was cold and unwelcoming. She showed us to our room which was terribly dated with a worn looking bed and dirty looking carpet. As the afternoon progressed, the receptionist became friendlier and we enjoyed an afternoon walking through the village. We toured the hotel and it has some interesting areas. There is an indoor pool with spa but a very strong chlorine smell. We wondered if a previous owner had been a taxidermist, since there were so many mounted wild animals, some looked dusty and poorly maintained, like they were starting to decay, some with spider webs on them. The restaurant area is very beautiful, but almost creepy with the mounted animals. There was only 1 server at dinner and she totally ignored us for 45 minutes, serving all the other guests. Finally I asked her if she had a problem with us and she took our order. The food was good but the meal was ruined by the rudeness of the waitress. The hotel is in desperate need of updating. The sad thing to us, is the hotel has so much potential and the area is truly beautiful. Maybe there are updated rooms that some of the other reviewers stayed in? We were baffled by the good reviews. If that is the case, request an updated room if you stay there. We left before breakfast having had enough of the place."

"This was our 2nd visit to Auberge Les Ecureuils. The surrounding at the very end of a valley is exceptional. The village is very charming and consists of approx. 35 houses. A good place for nature and dog lovers (dogs are moving freely everywhere - hotel and village - and are welcome at the hotel as well). ||The hotel itself is in need of a little renovation (rooms & toilets) and more attention to details. That also goes for the service, which is mainly provided by poorly skilled employees. It's a pitty especially for the restaurant as the food is quite good but due to the lack of attention and skills, it's not really a pleasant experience (e.g. it is not possible to order a glass of wine at the restaurant - only a bottle (!), although you can do so at the bar, which is approx. 30m further away. With half board there is no choice with your dinner menue. Either you like it, or you leave it.....). The problem is, that the owners are very little present & available for their guests since they work in the kitchen, or are busy with excursions. It is sadly to say that management and customer service are missing to make clients feel good and taken care of."
