Au Carré Saint-Eloi et du gîte Mamarras : notre livre d'or

Wonderful reception, pretty house, great room in the heart of Arras. Nearby train and bus station, within walking distance. Arras is such a lovely city, with so much to visit and see. There is also a garden at the house which is nice.

I stayed here for one night with my husband. I wanted somewhere with parking - on street was cheap enough, or we could have paid for private parking at the property.

The host was helpful. I telephoned as we were due to arrive a little early. I am nervous when telephoning a French person, as it can be difficult to understand each other but Claire spoke good English (much better than my French!). We checked in and chatted with Claire for a while before heading out into Arras for dinner. 

Our room was large - with a spacious bathroom. We were the only guests so it was very quiet. We returned to the b&b quite late after finding some good bars - and slept very well.

The next morning Claire returned to prepare our breakfast. We had the traditional croissants, bread, fabulous homemade jam, yogurts etc. All very good indeed and set us up nicely for the day of driving to our next destination.

I would stay here again on our next visit to Arras - good location, friendly host and a reasonable price.

Claire made us all feel very welcome and the house and location are both fantastic.

Claire was a friendly and welcoming host. She had arranged to meet us at the property but we were late arriving so she gave us the code to access the house and came to see us when she finished work. She provided a good breakfast on the three mornings we were staying and was very helpful with information about Arras and the surrounding area. The house is easily accessible from the station and there is parking outside. It is situated in an attractive square off a main road, but there is little noise. It was clean, comfortable and roomy with an attractive, secluded garden. There are two double rooms with en suite, and a single room upstairs with a toilet. However, with three couples, the upstairs is too small to sleep two, which was the only downside. We were in Arras to visit certain World War One cemeteries and the town is a perfect central location for this. It is a beautiful town with some great bars, restaurants and shops, all within walking distance of the house.  

Great town. Great house. Great family. Thank you
