Auberge du Balestié

Nous n'avons jamais pu profiter de cet hotel : la veille, nous avons recu un mail comme quoi il n'y avait plud chambre alors que j'aviais reserve des mois auparavant et que j'avais encore confirmé la veille en reservant une table au restaurant. Tres bizarre.
Heureusement que l'hotelier avait reserve une chambre dans un autre etablissement, mais sans nous demander notre avis. J'estime que ce n'est pas correct et je me pose des questions sur les raisons de ce changement tardif.

Auberge situé dans un site champêtre. Le propriétaire nous a accueilli avec gentillesse, nous a donné des bonnes informations de visites à faire dans la région. Le petit déjeuner était tres bon. Belle chambre, lits très confortables. Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre sejour.

Bon emplacement, chambre propre, propriétaire agréable

Super séjours très calme et propriétaire très sympa

Nous sommes arrivés de nuit et avons été très bien accueillis. Les chambres étaient bien chauffées et très agréables. Une superbe vue au lever du jour. Un bon petit-déjeuner, bref un grand merci.

We were greeted by Alex on our arrival and shown to our accommodation which was clean and provided everything we needed. We were the only guests staying that evening so the evening meal menu was limited to a few choices. However, when what was on offer didn't suit all of our party, Alex went out to buy in food to meet our dietary needs in order that we didn't have to drive back out to the local village to eat. Our evening meal was delicious, finishing with a great breakfast sitting outside in the sun. Alex even provided us with Yorkshire teabags from his fast depleting stock. Had we known, we would have taken a box of said teabags with us. For a very friendly, accommodating service and comfortable stay in a beautiful, peaceful setting, I would highly recommend this property. We couldn't have asked for more.

Very warm welcome as we met up with our friends en route to Spain. Great evening meal and breakfast.

We had a really lovely stay at Balestie.
I decided late in the afternoon that we would need dinner and was concerned we might not find anywhere to eat locally. So I emailed the owner to ask if it was possible to sit for dinner, not even really expecting an answer.
To my surprise, he replied with a very positive "I will reserve you a table". When we arrived some hours later we were shown our room and then offered the terrasse out the back of the house for drinks and dinner.
The food and wine were really good and nothing seemed to be too much trouble, even though the owner was clearly quite busy.
We had a nice room with a lovely view to the mountains.
We will certainly go back if and when we are in the area.
Thanks to Alex and Rachel for being great hosts.

Had a great nights stay. Alex was the perfect host. Great food a d great company.

Accueil cordial.
Pas de repas du soir possible le mercredi soir mais le propriétaire nous a donné des conseils pour trouver un restaurant convenable à Mirepoix.
Le petit déjeuner pourrai être amélioré en proposant des produits locaux

Very comfortable country side
Clean and very near Mirepoix if you have a car

Very nice place. Basic, but very clean and a comfy bed. The owner was extremely nice. The grounds were beautiful, but it was off the beaten path. I would happily stay there again.

Quiet spot in the middle of the countryside -although not far from Mirepoix- whith a convenient restaurant.
The staff was really nice, both by phone and when we arrived. We had a very comfortable room.

Lovely friendly couple who made us very welcome and cooked meal to suit one on our party. No air-conditioning, but not a problem unless it was 30 degrees plus. Well worth a visit

Halte trés calme que nous avons appréciée à l'allée comme au retour . Bon repas du terroir, les chambres d'étage sont plus finies et confortables.WC à l'extérieur de la salle de douches . En bas sdb très exigue .

Arrived after a long day of driving, and we much appreciated the hot tea offered us by the proprietor. We stayed for dinner, which we very much enjoyed, and took advantage of the wonderful breakfast, as well. Our room was very spacious and convenient for my mother who has trouble with stairs, as it was on the first floor.

My fiance and I stayed here for one night as we travelled westward through the south of France. The room was comfortable with an incredible view of the Pyrenees, we really enjoyed dinner and the owners were very welcoming. Great base for Carcassonne, Mirepoix etc. Would definitely stay here again next time we're in the area.

Located deep in the countryside and is therefore primarily for those who themselves seek out this specific hotel (is not a place where many come by and is barely visible from the public roads). But it is definitely a local gem in an area with lot of tranquility and a fantastic nature - a place where nature lovers want to stay a day longer.

Nice view of mountains. Good food in restraunt.
Owner originally from England, so no language problems

We chose the Auberge for its location on route to Spain. excellent choice , not so far from Mirepoix. We ate in and found the food to be excellent. Despite being full the place was not noisy, we both slept well. wifi worked. We can recommend this place, excellent value for money.
