Au Cachalot Caché le gîte hôtel

We were excited to stay here. The photos looked so nice. And they were legit photos. That’s what the rooms look like. The room was spacious and gorgeous. But the feel of the place doesn’t match the look, largely because the hosts of this BnB seem to think of you as a danger to their property more than as a guest. No shoes either in the common area where breakfast is served or IN YOU OWN ROOM. No putting your bag on the bed. No putting it on the table either. Put it in the special place they picked for your bag. You got the feeling they had just taken 1970’s style plastic covers off the furniture and were regretting it. There is a full kitchen in the room, but no cooking is allowed. The breakfast was bread with bread with bread (pancakes or french toast and baguette and croissant) with small portions of jam or cheese, pate, and creton to be shared by 5 or 6 people. Heaven help anyone with gluten issues (like Kim). And in Quebec, home of the strategic reserve of the stuff, it is hard to understand why we got a look when we asked for maple syrup with our french toast. And you can’t pay even with debit. It has to be cash. Which for three nights is a fair bundle of bills to take from the only bank machine in town. Overall, the stay is spoiled by the feeling that you are imposing. Which is a pity, since the pictures do accurately show a very nice LOOKING place.

Guylaine and Bruno are old school hospitality people, nothing is too much trouble, the property is exceptionally comfortable and amazing value! Wonderful hosts in an amazing location. They assisted with restaurant bookings, great sightseeing tips and history. The breakfast is based on locally sourced ingredients….omg it’s good! Would return to this place in a heartbeat, it’s a home away from home with 5 star service and amenities.

Truly enjoyed our stay at this new B&B. Our room was clean that included a comfortable bed and huge shower. Loved being able to sit outside and watch the stars at night. Was able to ditch the car and walk to centre ville for dinner. Breakfast was very tasty including the cappuccino. Thank you Bruno and Guylaine for your hospitality. Would definitely stay again.

Our room was beautiful with unique hand crafted furniture and a deck overlooking the gardens. Bruno is an excellent chef and the breakfast was decadent - yummy local cheeses, fresh home baked croissants, and even a chocolate mousse dessert! I would highly recommend this lovely spot!

Très beau endroit à Tadoussac ,les hôtes son très accueillant ,les chambres d’une propreté impeccable ,le site ,la vue .Le déjeuner est compris c’est un atout important et très rare .C’est notre plus bel hébergement lors de notre voyage sur la côte Nord 😉

Sehr gutes hochwertiges B&B. Neuwertige Einrichtung, gute Tipps für die Umgebung und ein schönes Frühstück mit den anderen Gästen. Die Chefin ist immer für jeden da und erklärt gleich alles. Die Lage und Grundstück sind ein Traum. Herrliche Ruhe, wenngleich das Haus etwas hellhörig ist. Absolute Empfehlung!
