“Well priced and comfortable room. A great stay in La Tranche”
Quiet and clean room above a great pizza restaurant. Secure bike storage in the cupboard where sacks of pizza flour were stored. We arrived early and the host was happy to let us in early. We ate very tasty food in the restaurant. Close to a beautiful beach by the lighthouse, easy walk into town.

“Holiday in La Tranche Sur Mer”
Nice compact room with twin single beds and en suite toilet and shower. Nothing particularly extravagant, but perfectly suitable for two adults. WiFi worked well. Staff very pleasant with smooth check in and out. Free parking directly across the road. Buffet Breakfast with plenty of French bread, meats, cheeses, juices, coffee, etc.Would certainly recommend.

The owner took care of our bikes and put them away himself. They have a restaurant so we were able to eat dinner there as it is a bit away from other restaurants.

“A charming family run hotel and highly recommended.”
We arrived on bicycles and was met by the friendly family owners. We had a good supper of pizza in their restaurant and enjoyed our brief stay. The breakfast was satisfactory and the cost of our stay very reasonable.
