Hostellerie Des 7 Molles

We stayed one night in this magnificent hotel, with splendid decoration. The room was very pleasant and we particularly enjoyed the spa (delicately prepared with soft music and essential oils) with a view of the mountain. A top restaurant, with original, surprising and refined dishes (like the perfect egg, the pork, or the apple dessert, with 5 stars for the tonka bean ice cream!). All in a very calming atmosphere, with a charming and welcoming team. We want to get used to it! :-)

In November 2023, I emailed the hotel to book 3 nights for June 2024. Alix emailed me with wire instructions and told me to wire the money to the hotel. Our Chase bank did it, but later I was informed it wasn't successful. So on Dec 6, our banker tried again and successfully wired €495 to Hotel Du Barry. After that I have emailed the hotel many many times asking them to check their bank account and confirm our booking. But nobody ever responded to my emails anymore. This is so frustrating. We wired the money and we have the recipient of the wire. Why don't you respond to my email and confirm our booking? Why? Please respond to my email if your boss received our wire transfer of €495.

After several days on the road for work and arriving in the region late one evening I needed a place to stay. Google maps advised several hotels nearby. I phoned Hotel du Barry to see if they were open and if they had any rooms. Thankfully they did - and they served food - something so difficult to find in these crazy covid days. On arrival we were warmly welcomed by the staff and the chef came out to ask if we would like food. He advised he had just made a special fresh gnocchi with a cheddar sauce and shaved truffles. I decided on the beef cheeks and to my surprise and delight my food was brought to my room with a side of the chef special. It is so sad their beautiful restaurant is closed because of this wretched virus! And oh my - what absolutely delicious food - excellent! I forgot to mention my room. Absolutely stunning. The room was enormous with a huge and extremely comfortable bed, a good size desk for me to work on, a separate smaller table and comfortable chair from which to eat my room service and the bathroom was stunning with a lovely deep bath - just what I needed after days on the road. I slept so well listening to the owls hooting in the trees outside. Breakfast was equally superb. They have their own chickens for the best free range eggs. I gather they also have a couple of pigs. Great fun to see the menagerie if you have kids. And what a gorgeous view of the foothills of the Pyrenees one wakes to in this superbly tranquil spot. I can't recommend the Hotel du Barry enough. It was such a surpirse to discover this absolute gem of a hotel and spa hidden away deep in the countryside. I seriously hope my work takes me back to the region and I look forward to the day this covid craziness has passed in order that I might return to Hotel du Barry with my family when we might be able to make use of their spa facilities, their pool, tennis court and walks in the surrounding hills. Such a lovely hotel. I wish you all good luck in surviving this incredibly difficult period and I thank you for your charm, your elegance, your hospitality and your wonderfully welcoming hotel. Merci beaucoup. À bientôt.
