Gîtes de Tournai - Les carrières

We loved EVERYTHING about this apartment! Our hosts were so lovely and helpful, from detailed check-in instructions to breakfast delivered in the morning. The apartment was safe, lovely, clean, and well appointed with everything we needed for several days in Tournai. The apartment is an easy walk from the train station, with a good connection to Lille. The neighborhood is FANTASTIC, with beautiful buildings, lovely restaurants, and convenient supermarkets. And to top it off, the price was excellent. We would 100% return to this apartment the next time we are in Tournai!

The stairwell is a bit noisy and echoed quite a bit, but we were lucky to not have any late-night neighbors tromping up and down the stairs (but I could imagine that with noisier neighbors, it might be a problem). Also, the washing machine is not located IN the apartment, but in the basement of the building -- as a single mom travelling with two kids, that was inconvenient for me, and it would have been good to know about this before we arrived. But overall, a truly fantastic place to stay!

So close to all the Tournai sites. A beautiful place, nice and clean. Fluffy towels and lots of information leaflets about Tournai in multiple languages. I also liked that the welcome book explained how everything worked in different languages so it was easy to ensure everything was as we wanted. I highly rate this place to stop in Tournai. We would definitely stop here again! Drinks provided for arrival and my children loved using the coffee pods with the nesquik hot chocolate pods provided. We chose to have pastries from patisserie Vivienne for breakfast (it opens at about 4 or 5am but we went at about 8am) which were obtained using the vouchers. The patisserie was amazing and the selection provided with the vouchers was more than enough and so tasty. A real treat to visit a truly lovely bakery. We also bought some extras at the bakery too as it was so good. The salt and pepper baguette was yummy. Stephanie and Cedric were really great hosts and I received timely messages from them about how to get into the gite and about parking. A great place!

Nothing not to like. A lovely place.

Very noisy late evening

It was very clean.Had everything we needed

The shower did not empty the water properly.Can be a small blockage

Unfortunately we didn’t get the breakfast due to the fact that the wifi wasn’t working so we had no way of contacting the owners to order it

The wifi code was hand written and we couldn’t understand it so couldn’t contact the owner to order breakfast or check out online about the area

Breakfast was fine plenty of choice.

Nothing really it suited our needs perfectly

Location is great and everything

Non

Location very good. Just a short pleasant walk to the Belfy, Cathedral & main square. Generous breakfast delivered by hosts was excellent.

The only very very minor issue we had was with parking our hired car. Weren't too sure about the hours of the on-street parking & decided to put in a QPark about 10 minutes away from the apartment.

The property was great, comfortable and equipped with everything we could need and want. The croissants from the bakery were lovely.

Nothing.
