I've been coming to Argelès-sur-Mer since 1998 to visit my parents, but since the birth of my child, we prefer to stay in nearby hotels for convenience and to enjoy the pool. Upon arrival, I informed the receptionist that I was a regular guest at Le Cottage. She couldn't find my name because they had apparently changed their computer system. I also told her that my mother (recently a widow) would be coming to visit me and her grandson, to which she replied that it was no problem. The receptionist also asked if I had a car, to which I replied yes. She then informed me that parking would be 10 euros per night. I agreed and told her that for the next two nights, I would park elsewhere. As I was leaving (checking out), another receptionist asked me who the old lady was who had accompanied us to the pool. I replied that it was my 77-year-old mother. The receptionist wanted to charge me 20 euros (visitor pass), which I vigorously contested, arguing that it hadn't been mentioned at check-in, my mother had spent an hour or two in the shade on a chair (without even using the pool once) watching her grandson play, and we had all consumed hotel drinks. The receptionist also wanted to charge me 30 euros for overnight parking. I said I had only parked my car for one night, to which she replied that she had no proof. Luckily, I tend to take photos of my car parked overnight (for insurance purposes). Finally, if you'd like a better&friendly service, try Les Mouettes & Grand Hotel du Golfe!

This hotel was the perfect stay the ground hotel and safe were all perfect, excellent place to unwind and relax,

Stayed for 5 nights as a couple with no car. The hotel is beautifully designed very comfortable rooms plenty of space with balcony. Breakfast was an additional charge however the best breakfast we had choice wise during our stay in france. My husband required GF & this was accommodated no problem. The only advice for anyone staying without a car it is a good 25 minute walk to the beach & restaurants area however there are some nice restaurants near the hotel in the village within a10 min walk. There is also a bus running daily (not sunday( to take people to the beach. we arrived by train& this was an easy 10mins walk. Overall we were really happy with our stay at the cottage the staff were very helpful. The pool area is lovely with lots of space & towels provided. I hope to be back soon.

Excellent hotel, with a new feel to it. Slept well, very quiet and did not hear the neighbours. Terrace had an electric shutter on it so when you shut it, the room had no morning light coming in, which was perfect for when we wanted to sleep in. External swimming pool is heated and warm enough to spend time in it. Spa is perfect for a few hours and was open 9am to 9pm. All staff were very friendly and accomodating. When we went to book treatments on the last morning they offered to extend our stay, at no cost, so that we could go back to the room after the treatments. Treatments were very enjoyable. Parking was ideal with security cameras, but in the end we did not park on site but left our car parked in front of the Gendarmerie which was a very short walk away. Lots of nice restaurants close by. The beach and port were a 4 minute drive away. There is free parking at the port and the parking at the beach is free, except during June and July I believe. Nice long beaches. We found all the staff in Argeles to be genuinely friendly. Nice coastal walk to Collioure or you can take the train or bus and thereby avoid the hassle of trying to find somewhere to park in Collioure.

Staying at Le Cottage was a most memorable experience for my husband and I. We loved everything about the hotel, especially the divine Hammam space. Thank you for your hospitality and welcoming feeling. Some day we hope to return. Au revoir!!

Lovely quiet place, great views of the mountain and lovely pool. Nice food spots in the town centre.

Very well located hotel with excellent facilities. We loved the pool and the spa area. We were very glad we stayed in a suite. The large terrace and separate living room were great during our longer stay. Would gladly return

Good hotel, well located, good service, cleaning stuffs could have more attention to details. Confortable room and nice pool!

The pool is lovely, set among beautiful gardens. The rooms inside are sadly a little lacking. The separate toilet was incredibly small (the seat and the room itself) to the point where it was hard to do what you needed to do. The fan was broken. The bed was very comfortable but the sofa wasn’t (sofa bed) leaving you with back pain. The balcony was nice. The Wi-fi didn’t work for a couple of days which was annoying. Finally the bathroom - the shower was a sad little dribble. And there were issues with the hot water for a couple of days.

Hotel is located about 1km from the beach. There is a taxi service but you may have to wait. Check in was 4pm. We finally got to our room at 4.40. The Wi-Fi is very slow. The pool area is nice and the room was very clean. The view was a hedge. We stayed two nights.

Overall a nice facility. The AC did not work. Addressed that with front desk who responded right away, but did nothing - thus the lower rating.

friendly family run hotel in quiet location - excellent games area, lovely pool and friendly staff. The spa offers fantastic massages too.

Terrific little hotel with a beautiful pool. Very close to a small town with bars and restaurants. Rooms are small but well appointed, with a small balcony. Very quiet. Public areas are well maintained, lovely gardens with seating areas. Bar always seems to be available . Staff are really friendly and helpful

One of the best places to stay in the area. Great breakfast. Great swimming pool. Close to the town centre, see and the mountains.

We have just completed our third stay at Le Cottage in the last four years. If we return to Argeles sur Mer next year we shall seek to stay there again. From the moment of our arrival to the point of departure we have not the slightest complaint. This area has a wealth of local / Cathar history, with numerous places to visit.

Almost everything was good. The wi-fi is terrible.

First room offered was terrible smelt of smoke despite non smoking area. It was small and the bathroom had an unpleasant aroma too. Maybe we were offered this room as we were travelling with our dog. Once we complained we were offered a better room which was bigger and cleaner. Good that there was tea and coffee making facilities in the room because there was no restaurant at the hotel. Overall we were very disappointed and wouldn't go back.

Quiet location. Convenient for Lidl.

Lovely hotel, good room size, very nice bathroom plenty of space. Staff were very nice and helpful. Would stay again only negative is location, it is about 25 minutes walk to either the beach or town centre.

My wife and I were so pleased we chose this hotel as it lived up to everything its website promised. We had a relaxing and enjoyable stay here. All the staff were very friendly & nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely stay here again.
