    Can’t think of anything at all.

    The location is excellent right next to the cathedral. Easy to make the 7am Mass. The welcome was very warm and the entire place was very clean. The rules were communicated in advance so I knew what to expect. You can’t take your sack into the room but only what you need for the night. They provide a basket for that. It keeps everything very sanitary. I felt comfortable and safe. Basic breakfast which provides everything you need.

    We liked everything

    Such a special place to stay in Le Peu-en-Velay. We had a wonderful big room with windows overlooking the old town. The room had many original features, which was delightful, but it also had a wonderful modern en suite and a large comfortable bed. The Chambres d'hotes was full of character with a winding stone staircase and broad polished floors, all reminders of it's original use as a convent. We had terrible travel problems on arrival and the hosts were so kind to us and made sure we made it to our beds safely. In the morning we had a super breakfast with delightful conversation and advice for our walk. It was the perfect place to start our pilgrimage, just a few minutes from the Cathedral. Very happy memories.

    This was an interesting place to stay and our host was very welcoming. It is worth saying that the accommodation is primarily aimed at pilgrims on the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage, so compared with more conventional holiday accommodation, the rooms are quite spartan (there is wi-fi though). You are also required to comply with rules such as leaving your bags and shoes in the reception room and just taking what you need into the room in a plastic box which is supplied. This is not a criticism - the accommodation was clean, the bed comfortable and the location was right in the historic town, very close to the statue of the statue of Our Lady of Le Puy.

    The wifi is reliable only in the foyer, but I have nothing else to mention.

    This place is amazing, I wish I lived here. As soon as I walked into the ground floor area, I thought I was in medieval times. Stone all around you. Pitch black until movement triggers the light. A large painting hanging on the wall. Then the host came down to greet me, and we walked up the spiral staircase to enter the gîte, which is so warm and homey and reminds me of what I imagine a sleeping area in a chapel or cathedral looks like. The whole place is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The hot water works great. The radiator is set to a perfect level in the room. I like how the shower is elevated and built in a way that the water doesn't splash out onto the floor even without a door or curtain. There is even a washing machine in the shower room, which I didn't use. The host is very kind, professional, and thoughtful, and I appreciate how he answered my questions and efficiently took my breakfast order. There is a no shoe/food/drink/bag policy in the sleeping area to prevent bedbug infestation, which is much appreciated. I wonder if this gîte will have spoiled me in terms of my expectations of future gîtes. I highly recommend this place.

    Nothing

    Right at the top of the old town and not so easy to find, but well worth the effort, this is a wonderful property oozing charm and historic atmosphere. The owner couldn’t have been more helpful, recommended a great restaurant and spoke perfect English. He even sorted out our parking for us. It’s one of those places you won’t ever forget. Just beware of the climb up the stone spiral staircase to the room - it’s fine but don’t bring a heavy bag. Le Puy (the historic old town) is so well preserved and transports you instantly to its past. It is worth a few days to explore - we must return to La Prevote. We parked at Henri P… car park as suggested by the owner. A short walk then to the property.
