Belle de Nuit

An absolutely stunning stay - nothing negative to say. Perfect location steps away from shops, groceries and restaurants. Suite was spotless and very well outfitted with a kitchenette, private hot tub and the comfiest bed. Lucy was a perfect host and we can’t wait to return

Fantastic winter getaway. The location is perfect to access Wakefield Trails and enter Gatineu Park on foot. The owners, Louise and Claude, are the true gems; they are so warm and welcoming, and they go out of the way to add little touches that you would not get at a hotel chain. Louise is an angel! There are ample options for nordic ski, fat tire winter bikes, and snow shoe rentals from multiple companies-- all within walking distance. Belle De Nuit Wakefield Inn is a short walk (10 minutes or less) into town where there are several cute restaurants, cafes & bakeries, live music venues, and other shops. The hot tub was right outside our door and excellent to come back to after all day snow shoe -ing. I loved the little electric fireplace in the Venice room, you don't have to worry about smoke and ash from a log fire, it has a powerful heater built in and it looks way more realistic than some of the built-in fire places you can get. I want one for home! We were pleasantly surprised that our room had a full kitchen with a stove, sink, microwave, coffee maker, kettle, pots, cooking cutlery, coffee, tea, sugar, cream, salt & pepper. The parking spots in front almost all have EV chargers (I think there are 6 or 8 in total). The chargers are not Level 2. In the spring/summer/fall, this is no problem, but if you come in winter and it is negative -20 temps the parking lot chargers will basically give you enough power to keep the battery warm overnight but not enough to actually charge. If you want a Level 2 charger in Wakefield you can go to the Bonet Pharmacy or you can call the Trois Erables Inn which is 1 minute away and ask if you can use their Level 2 charger. We called and offered to pay to use the Trois Erable Inn level 2 charger, and they let us use it overnight for a price -- nevertheless, it is not guaranteed you can use the Trois Erable level 2.

While there were some tiny, incidental things on the property that need some updating, this was a great weekend getaway spot. We were hiking in the Gatineau Hills, and so its location was ideal, and evening and night in Wakefield was much fun (for 2 old-timers in the early 50s!).
