Search hotels in Pointe a la Fregate

I drove the Gaspesie with my mother and teenage son this past August, and we loved staying at this little place for two nights. The owner is just the loveliest guy you'd ever want to meet. It's immediately evident that the hotel is a passion project for him and his family (his doppelganger son served in the restaurant during our visit). We're a grieving family and were looking to do something out of the ordinary for all of us. This is going to sound hyperbolic, but this location really soothed our souls. I would have stayed another day if we had more time in the area. Because our stay was toward the beginning of the week, we didn't have an opportunity to eat dinner in the restaurant. They only offer dinner on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays if I recall correctly. However, the breakfast was amazing. If I lived in the area, I'd go there every day and gain 100 pounds. For dinner, we went to a place down the road called AVACAAL. You know the food must be great if I remembered a name like that a month later! It's all homemade, fresh, and local. Now, this is an older property and the rooms are older. The owner said they were in the process of updating them. But they have everything you need. The staff made sure we had everything we needed. One final note since I wrote this review in English. The three of us are Canadian and have workable French. My mom is French Canadian by birth, but she's been living in Toronto for 60 years and her French is fading. Our hosts immediately realized we were more comfortable in English and switched right over to accommodate us. If you happen to be visiting from the U.S. and don't have much French, it won't be a problem.

The house was absolutely lovely – clean, cozy, and equipped with everything we needed for a perfect stay. The owner was very friendly and responsive, which made everything easy and pleasant. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, it felt truly peaceful, and kids could safely play outside. Although a little farther from the main attractions, it is centrally located between Parc Canada Forillon and Parc national de la Gaspésie (SEPAQ), with Mont St-Pierre and Cap-des-Rosiers along the way. The drive is panoramic and makes the journey part of the experience. After speaking with the owner, an EV charger will be added soon – a great bonus for future guests. Our only regret was staying for just two nights – we wish we had booked longer!

Nicely decorated, really comfortable beds, great extras like a real coffee pot and dishes, cups, and cutlery.
