Reviews of Gîte La Richardière 3 stars

Our host Claude and his companion an extremely friendly dog Buddy, were very welcoming!❤️ Beautiful place, very homey, breakfast was wonderful, lovely cozy rooms, highly recommend staying here!

Location was perfect for viewing the small waterfront town on foot, ease of parking, and best possible ferry access. Breakfast was excellent with gourmet FRESH fruit and yogurt dish and perfectly cooked pancakes. Host/owner was enjoyable to converse with as well as bilingual, knowledgeable, friendly and extremely thoughtful and considerate in advance of possible needs/assistance. Bed was very comfortable and windows adjustable for refreshing Godbout air and light.

We liked everything. We could have managed a slightly larger breakfast or with more protein, but probably not necessary. Everything was created and served to perfection.

Beautifully restored old house. Host was very accommodating and knowledgeable of the history of the village. Each room had the theme of a well known painter. Breakfast was amazing with yogurt/fruit parfait and bacon/french toast!

Unfortunately no private bathroom. We had to share with another room but was fine for our one night stay.

Incredibly accommodating host, breakfast was stellar, rooms were clean and the dog was adorable. Highly recommend!

The personal touches demostrate the decades of care invested in this place. The book shelves and decor are museum quality, dedicated to the history of the Côte Nord and folklore of Quebec. The details like cotton pads just where you want them and comfy beds make your stay comfortable. This place is the polar opposite of a generic corporate chain.

Very nice stay. Everything as described. The attention to details makes all the difference and our host excels in it. Highly recommended.

beautifully furnished, friendly host, excellent food

I would have preferred a more comfortable chair in my room for meditation.

A century home converted to a b&b. Very unique and an awesome stay

Really not much but the creaky floor and stairs. I hope I didn’t wake anyone

Beautiful, comfortable place with great hosts in Claude and Buddy, the resident gentle giant. Delicious breakfast.

Godbout itself doesn’t offer up much in the way of dining choices but has a beautiful stretch of beach / coastline.

Exceptional property. Well organized and managed. Even the small details were taken care of. Spacious main rooms layed out in interesting themes of area's history. Host even briefed us about restaurant being closed in town unexpectedly on day of our arrival. Breakfast was excellent.

Do not change a thing. Could not find any areas for improvement. Will book again when in area.

Really liked the Gîte, it was beautifully decorated and we were really welcomed warmly! Claude was super nice and we were pleasantly surprised of all the amenities and accommodation.

Nothing!

Claude, the kind and wonderful owner, lives on site with Buddy his gentle giant of a dog. Claude is a fountain of information about the local area. For those of you worried about your fluency in French, Claude is bilingual. It is a small B&B with four lovely rooms. While the two bathrooms are shared, they are spotless and clean. Toiletries are provided. The common areas - dining room, lounge, library and deck - are beautiful and clean. Claude gave a lot of thought to the decor and the layout of the rooms when he converted the house into a business. The breakfasts are PHENOMENAL. Coffee and tea are available at all times. There is candy on offer in the lounge. There is also a small fridge in the lounge in which you can store your own food and drinks. Free parking is available across the street. The ferry terminal is just around the corner.

Not being able to stay another night because the B&B was fully booked.

We enjoyed an excellent and very helpful host

Nothing all was excellent

Incredible breakfast. Beautiful home. Comfortable room. Gracious host.

We stayed here for 2 nights as part of our Canadian roadtrip. This has been our best stay in North America to date. Claude is a very attentive host who pays attention to fine details, not just the basics that you expect to see. The room, though a little smaller than we are used to, was comfortable and well appointed, and there were multiple ‘common areas’ to read, relax, talk with other guests etc, each well furnished and decorated (so the size of the bedroom did not matter). The hospitality was excellent, including a superb breakfast each morning (where presentation was just as important as the high quality of the food). I am not a dog lover, and was somewhat apprehensive, but i have to say that Buddy was also an excellent ‘host’ - a friendly greeting, but not overexuberant; constantly there, but not obtrusive or threatening in any way. I / we thoroughly recommend this place. A good place for the end of exploring Cote Nord, and then catching the ferry to Matane. It also really helped us (as Australians with no French speaking skills), that Claude was multilingual (Merci, Claude).

No improvement required. This place exceeds expectations.

Fantastic B&B close to the ferry, with Claude as a great and charming host. We had a very pleasant and comfortable stay in a squeaky clean room with all the amenities you could wish for, plus a fantastic breakfast. I highly recommend this place.

Great setting. Lovely areas to relax in. Room was ideal. Absolute 5* breakfast. Host was welcoming and helpful and just great. Thoroughly recommend this stay.

The host, the comfortable and charming establishment, the wonderful breakfast and the delicate attention to detail, and, of course, Buddy, the host's gentle and friendly dog.

I liked everything!! No complaints whatsoever.

The breakfast was very yummy: yogurt with fruits an muesli served in beautiful glasses and toasts with raspberry jam and maple syrup. Very tasty!

The property is immaculate and has the most interesting museum-like decorations. The rooms were tastefully furnished and every detail was carefully thought of. The breakfast was thoroughly enjoyed. We wished we had more time to enjoy the common spaces. The hosts, Claude (and Buddy), are as hospitable as it gets. Claude made us feel at home.
