Thoroughly recommended

The hotel is a lovely old mansion in a beautiful setting overlooking the sea and just over the road from a beautiful sandy cove which was wonderful for swimming. The restaurant is wonderful - we had an incredible three course dinner there and the waitress was charming. The breakfast buffet is nicely done in a very pleasant wood panelled dining room too. Our room itself was a little bare- the only mirror was in the bathroom, there weren’t many plugs and there was no hook for the shower attachment or shower curtain so only possible to have baths (though the bath was excellent!). The pool was closed because of Covid which was a shame. But overall this is a lovely little hotel with very welcoming staff and a fab restaurant in a beautiful seaside town.

Wonderful oasis in the middle of town, Free parking, walking distance from all the action and a beautiful beach to swim from.

Serene countryside

Posted 7 Aug 2018 on Hotels
Beautiful grounds and gardens, lots of room to roam with chairs and loungers scattered about. Very elegant breakfast, a bit expensive, but beautifully done. Rooms are somewhat noisy, the building is very old, you can hear every footstep and creak from the wooden floorboards, but once everyone retires, there is dead silence as you are far out in the countryside. Make sure to get dinner reservations (Maison Bleu was exceptional), the local places are fully booked most evenings.

Ok hotel that needs updating.

Posted 22 Jul 2018 on Hotels
The hotel is a little rundown and needs updating. There was a smell of smoke in the corridors and bedroom. The description on the website is misleading and there were no views of the sea from our room. Overall disappointing.

Dining is fabulous, but it ends there.

Let me start by saying that we enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. Great parking for guests - no fighting for street parking at this hotel. Sea view was great, but the balcony is not private and other guests can walk past your window so keep that in mind if you are looking for privacy. The hotel restaurant was beyond spectacular! A wonderful meal and I couldn't have been happier with the food! Ok, now the complaints. Hotel seemed to have great wifi coverage, but it would not connect to the internet. Asked the front desk about the problem. I was told that the wifi wasn't working because of the weather. To their credit it was raining a lot, but it was not raining in the hotel. The staff had a connection at the front desk, but the wifi was out. I didn't buy the excuse about the weather and said that if the internet signal makes it into the building it must be another issue. Staff did nothing to fix the problem. Day 2 say issue. They never lifted a finger to fix the problem. As for the room, they need to replace the carpets! Heavily soiled and not expected at the price for the room. I would probably not stay again mainly because of the management. However, I would go back to the restaurant again! and again!

Grande dame past it's prime

This hotel has a terrific location and should be outstanding. Alas, the food in the dining room was disappointing according to French standards, and the TV in our room was completely non-functional. The lack of a shower curtain in the bathroom insured that everything got wet with the shower wand in the tub. The furniture was old and shabby. On the positive side, the room arrangement and size was very good, the service from the staff was very friendly and helpful, and the grounds are beautiful. But We expected more than we got for the price we paid.

Very conveniently positioned hotel close to town

Posted 31 Aug 2013
Pros: The restaurant and service, the grounds and the swimming pool.
Cons: I cannot think of anything.
Location: There was plenty to do,walking into town and enjoying a coffee at a roadside cafes, and visiting the excellent boat exhibition down by the water.
Traditional chateau feel to hotel. Decor of old and new blended well. We found it easy to walk into the town and back or to the Boat exhibition on the waters edge and back to the hotel.

This was a very nice hotel, generally, and did deliver views of the sea, a terrace, and a pool, but the surrounding town was quite run-down. The room was clean but small. We understand that the hotel has a high-end restaurant, but dinner for two would have cost more than a night's stay. The only curiosity was that there was no door between the bathroom and the rest of the hotel room - the bathroom was tastefully outfitted with clean, modern fixtures, but it was very difficult and uncomfortable to adapt to this lack of privacy. The hotel also lacked a computer available for use by the guests.
