Becancour itself is tiny with not a great deal to do, and unfortunately the hotel doesn't provide a great deal of information (at reception or in the room) on exploring the town or area. However, the Manoir has a very nice garden in which to take a pre-dinner aperitif, so if all you want to do is 'chill', then this is a good venue.
Our room - above the dining area - was a reasonable size, with a linen closet and a huge bathroom and an adequate shower. They kindly provide bathrobes and an ironing board. Our room was furnished in black with purple and white walls and white curtains (which unfortunately did not keep out the morning sun). The bed was comfy, there was free internet access in the room, ipod dock and refreshments. Diner is served in a nicely decorated dining room, which has a very modern feel. The waiting staff were not particularly efficient or knowledgeable and kept running between us and the kitchen offering us alternative dishes, this let the dining experience down, which is a shame when the quality of food is co;sidered. The gazpacho we were served was to die for! And the pasta sauce very good (on extremely al dente pasta). But by British/London standards, dining here is not cheap.
The most memorable part of our stay has to be the breakfast - from the quality of the cold buffet (which included the same cheeses that we were served on a very expensive dinner cheese course - so good quality) to the amazing, freshly cooked french toast, all served in an attractive conservatory. Jasmine was charming, and you have to admire a hotelier who looks after their staff so well that they add a tip on your bill for breakfast service!
Good for a one night recharge on a long drive between Quebec and Les Laurentides

Dear Guest,
Thank you for your honest review!
We do take all you have written to heart and we have set in motion in order to tackle those issues that we can deal with like the curtains and our waiting staff food knowledge.
Unfortunately in regards to the location there is little we can do and this is why we do advertise as a rural property.
In regards to the restaurant pricing also I am aware of the fact that food in canada is on the expensive side, being Italian and having just got back from sicily I can share the same feeling with you; having said that we must also consider that the canadian cost of leaving and food/labour cost are higher then USA and the UK.
Also I must mention that our cheapest menu item (main course) is of 15$...converted in GBP is 9 pounds and 20 pennies.
We wish not to be rude or telling in any way but also we wish to put our pricing into contest.
Kind Regards
Mariosimone Vianni
