We stayed in October for two nights. This is not a luxurious place but simple and honest and very very special. The owners are so enjoying living in the area and therefore have a wealth of knowledge. A great welcome including a welcome drink with fellow guests. Our room was comfortable for the three of us ( we had the... More

Apologies for the delay in putting up this review! My family, being my wife and seven year old son, Inessa and Daniel, arrived here intending to stay for three days in September. We stayed for all ten days of the holiday because it is a superb place in every way. Rob, Linda and their family run a great bed and... More

Linda, Rob & Ygor clearly don't actually _need_ another glowing review, but I'm going to give them one anyway. First the big picture. Villefranche-de-Conflent. If you came to France wanting to spend some time, in a quiet rural setting, a short stroll from a picture perfect, historic village in a stunning part of the world, perhaps by a small river... More

Linda and Robert w/Igor their dog are delightful and give excellent recommendations. They have maps of the area and knowledge of the restaurants. This village, Villefrance de Conflent, is small, easy to walk from B&B, not touristy. Nestled in the Pyrenees, there are great photo opps everywhere, particularly from Fort Iberia high above the B&B (the hike is fairly strenuous... More

we only stayed for 1 night but it was lovely. The house, the garden, the little farm by the river, the owners. everything was perfect. The rooms are not very large, but they are clean and nicely decorated. The views from our windows to tet river and fort liberia were great. There is also a playgroynd for the kids, free... More

We arrived on Le Petit Train Jaune from Barcelona quite late in the day. Robert, Linda & not forgetting Igor gave us a great welcome (with a glass of Rose!). We spent two nights at L'Ombre du Fort and also a day exploring the town and surrounding area. The B&B is very comfortable and is such a beautiful home. The... More

We knew we had chosen well as soon as we arrived, and saw our names on the welcome board. The purpose of visiting Villefranche was to take the litle yellow train into the mountains. We were not disappointed by that journey, but neither were we disappointed with our accommodation. The room was large, decorated in traditional French style, and with... More

I have never stayed anywhere quite like L'Ombre du Fort. It is unique in its setting and the hospitality shown by Linda and Robert is amazing. They are so friendly and helpful. Ygor the dog is great and they have quite a menagerie of animals. The location is perfect for the train station (either to Perpignan or to take Train... More

After wrestling with web sites for the train and trying to book for hours when we arrived Roger explained all, you can only book on the day of travel and in person and always ask for 'the next train' Marvellous advice! and only a short stroll to the station. We found this lovely place on trip advisor so, thanks!The great... More
