La Grand'Halte - La Bastide-Puylaurent

This is a restaurant and a hotel, one of the few in La Bastide. We stayed here on the last night of a one week hike on the Robert Lewis Stevenson Trail, which we hiked with a donkey, much like Stevenson did in the mid-19th century. The hotel is old but has been redone somewhat. Our room was small for 3 people and the beds had plastic sheets over the mattresses, which made for extremely uncomfortable sleeping. The bathroom was small with a broken accordion door and a strange little shower. But the hotel did have a functional. Internet connection, though it was rather slow. Food in the hotel restaurant was just barely eatable and therefore not especially good, with not much choice. Breakfast was pretty thin, with coffee, tea, hot chocolate, juice and various breads. The donkey accommodation was very good, with a small pasture, grain, hay and water, one of the better facilities we encountered on the trail.

Unwelcoming. Shabby decor. Basic tasteless food. Stale bread. Certainly not what weary travellers would want or expect

Very good reception. simple and very good meals. We recommend.

Single room. Copyy and good meals. breakfast very well
