RESTING YOUR HEAD
The village has on site accommodation however this is limited and we’re sorry to say we just can't fit everyone in. We really tried. If you will be staying in the village, we will contact you directly by the 10th of October to let you know that you are.
If you do miss out on the village, don’t worry, we have a list of the best and closest accommodation below.
We’ve toured round and we suggest that you stay in the nearest small Town Lectoure. (10 mins drive) We are going to organise shuttle buses for the whole weekend.
If you don’t fancy Lectoure or can’t find anywhere you like then La Romieu is also close (15 mins) and Condom (yes you heard correctly) is 25 mins drive. We would encourage you to book as soon as you are able as so many weddings have been pushed to 2021 and accommodation is going fast.
There are 14 cottages spread around the village some are 800 years old! They sleep between 3–16 people. All are charming and full of character but they are typical ‘rustic’ french kitchens and bathrooms. (Rustic is another way of saying.... basic!)
Cottage facilities:
All bed linen provided
All bath towels provided
Pool towels available
Tea and coffee provided in each house
Home made jam in each kitchen provided
Hairdryers in each bathroom
Iron and ironing boards available
Washing machine and dryer available
Wifi available in reception and house Cassagnet
Car park onsite
For info, the village has no shops or restaurants. Most cottages have kitchens and they all have fridges.
Food will be provided all weekend so you shouldn’t need any but feel free to buy extra snacks just in case. Beer, wine, fizz when needed and gin an tonics will be included all weekend too but if there’s a particular gin you fancy or if you can only do fevertree tonic then it’s best to bring some along.
If you have a car this is very easy, Lectoure is a 10 minute drive and there is a large supermarket there. Otherwise its about 20euros to get to the supermarket in a taxi.
CHECK IN/OUT
Check in is from 4pm on the Tuesday (but feel free to arrive earlier than that if you want)
Check out is at 10am on the Friday. Due to there being another wedding straight after us we have to vacate in the morning. :(
Hôtel Collège des Doctrinaires
We went to visit a few hotels and there was one that totally just stood out to us. The hotel is Hôtel Collège des Doctrinaires 4*
It has just been totally refurbished, is gorgeous inside and out has free access to the thermal spa in Lectoure, (via an underground tunnel!) We’ve got a 20% discount for all of our guests stay. We have 20 rooms on hold until the end of October. These rooms will then be released back to general booking.
There are 4 types of room in the hotel, Studio, Suite Deluxe, Suite Honneur & Suite Exécutive. The hotel also has one large very French apartment (Appartement Privilége) should anyone really want to shell out!
The rooms are a mixture of double and twin and air conditioning is limited to the studio rooms only. (These are bizarrely the cheapest rooms too). Each room also has a small kitchenette.
Here are the hotel booking instructions...
The hotel needs to be booked through the website: www.doctrinaires.fr/
When making the booking it will ask for your card details for a 30% deposit.
Once you’ve made the booking, you then have to email the hotel, their email address is:
doctrinaires@valvital.fr
The content should be as follows:
*Subject - PETER NAYLOR Wedding Booking
*Content - We are part of the PETER NAYLOR wedding party, so please can the agreed discount of 20% be applied to our booking.
After the hotel has received your email, they will apply the discount to the booking and then take your 30% deposit.
The remaining balance is then paid at check-in
If you would like the instructions via message or email then please get me at peter_naylor1986@hotmail.com or call/message me on 07732245828
There are pictures on the website, but if you require anymore info or images then please contact Pete N as I have picture and details for all types of room.
