“A Great Place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2008
1
person found this review helpful

We have just returned from a one night stay at La Maison Mesnil. We were thrilled with our stay. Greeted at the door by the owner, Renee, we were welcomed into her office where she gave us all the information we needed and took our payment. Yes, there are a number of rules but none of them were offensive. This is a person who takes immense pride in her lovely home and wants to have her guests honour their surroundings. I found it peculiar that she insisted on slippers or socks at all times but that was fine. She encouraged us to use the pool (3 pm to 7 pm) and the back yard. This house is 10 000 square feet! The upstairs is dedicated to the B and B and our room was huge. It had a lovely sleigh bed, an electric fireplace, and a lovely bathroom. There is also a lovely central area upstairs for the use of guests. There is a phenomenal view of the St. Lawrence River. The grounds are amazing and well kept. Her breakfast was served in a large dining area and was delicious and very artistically presented. WE had dinner at the Moulin restaurant less than one kilometer away and it was excellent. We had the menu for two which was very reasonably priced at 70 dollars for 5 courses. The restaurant is an old mill with tables outside, right beside the waterfalls. Stunning!
The only criticism I have of this B&B is that the towels and sheets were showing signs of wear but that is minor in nature. This is a place you will very much enjoy but I would not recommend it for families with young children.

“Pleasant B&B on Ile D'Orleans”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 July 2008

Recently stayed here for two nights. I can see the previous reviewer's point about rules, but have to say none of them bothered us at all. E.g. I don't tend to expect a swimming pool at a B&B, so it was a pleasant surprise to find that there was one at all, even if we could only use it in the late afternoon/early evening. Similarly, Renee the owner, doesn't seem to be present all of the time, but as we really only needed to see her when we checked in, at breakfast and when we checked out, that wasn't a problem for us. She has set up the house so that half (or more) is basically private from the guests, and seems to run the B&B so that she has time to herself, which I can appreciate!

Overall, the B&B is nicely decorated and quiet. There was no TV in our room, nor in the shared living room area, but that was fine with us. Our room was comfortable, and there was a portable AC unit in the room if we needed it. Wireless internet access is available for $10 for your stay. Renee has a lot of information available on the island and gave us cards to obtain free tastings at different cideries etc. She also has menus from lots of restaurants around the island which was helpful in terms of choosing where to go, as places can be quite scattered. There are 3 rooms in the B&B, and breakfast is served at a table for 6 so you get to meet the other guests and chat in the morning. Fortunately the people who were there both mornings were very nice, but it could be a little awkward if not! The breakfasts were very tasty, starting with juice/smoothie and fruit, then an egg-based dish and lastly a muffin/pastry/crepe.

2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2006

Not entirely satisfied. Will not returm. Too many rules and restrictions! The following are only a few we experienced during our stay.
-backyard, water front, was not accessible/was not encouraged to visit.
-could not have a bath- no drain plug/ tap was shut off! Showers only!
-pool had very limited hours- very limited!
-hostess not available (went out to buy a wine opener)

  • Tips/Secrets — Ask questions, even if you think they are silly

Bonjour, nous sommes propriétaires depuis 12 ans à Lîle d'Orléans de notre gîte.Nous recevons des gens de partout au monde avec des coutumes différentes et nous croyons qu'il est agréable pour des voyageurs de connaitre les façons du fonctionnement d'un établissement, surtout d'un gîte très différent de l'hôtel,dans le but d'aprécier le séjour.

Nous voyageons beaucoup et nous aprécions les endroits où il y a des règles a respectées, ceci démontrent que l'établissement est bien tenu et qu'il n'y aura pas de débordement de certains clients désagréables.

Chez-nous les conseils sont très simple.Nous demandons aux gens de faire attention au bruit le soir après 11:00hres.Nous sommes dans une maison et les murs ne sont pas isolés pour le bruit.Nous demandons de ne pas rouler les baggages,les chambres sont au deuxième étage et les planchers sont en bois. Le salon des invités pour se rendre aux chambres à 55 pieds de long,imaginez le bruit que cela pourrait faire.Nous avons des heures de piscine et de déjeuner
.Les gens durant leur séjour ont plusieurs endroits pour se détendrent à l'extérieur: à l'avant ,galerie,piscine,étang et à l'arrière de la maison sur le bord de l'eau il y des chaises longues,balancoire et bancs.
Comme tous les établissements d'hébergement nous avons une partie privée et une partie pour les invités .Il faut comprendre que nous louons des chambres non une maison complète.
4,000 pieds carrés est réservé aux invités.(salon,salle à manger et 3 chambres avec salle de bain privée)
Soyez assurer de passer un séjour agréable en notre compagnie dans notre gîte.

Renée et Gaétan
