Logis Lavedan

The staff made me feel welcome, they were happy to speak to me in English when I used the little bit of French that I can use. The meals are excellent, the room was clean and bed was comfortable.

It is a real shame that a some sort of sound proof fence or screen was not erected when the main road was built, otherwise this is a nice hotel with a lovely outlook in a quiet location.

Simple, basic but characterful, with a sound and satisfying evening meal menu and a worthwhile breakfast, at prices you won't see in many places in France. Clean and unostentatiously comfortable, this is a great antidote to the budget chain clone-hotels that serve otherwise as basic overnight accommodation.

If you have the choice, choose the bedrooms at the rear of the hotel. The front overlooks a dual carriageway that is quiet overnight but gets busy in the early morning. The hotel is perhaps a little basic, with few amenities for a longer stay, although if you like the area it would be a good alternative to trying to find value in Lourdes
