“A very convenient hotel, with a good vibe.”
Very friendly, helpful staff, especially when we arrived. Easy access from the motorway. Very dog friendly, paid a small supplement, but was expected. Dogs welcome in the restaurant. Good evening meal, and breakfast. Plenty of hot water. Comfortable bed. Lovely and warm.

“Perfect location.”
We arrived just before 9pm after a long journey. The restaurant was due to close but the staff welcomed us in and said we could still have dinner was was very much appreciated. Perfect location just off the motorway when traveling. The hotel has recently been decorated and is to be part of the Accor group. Secure parking outside.

“A very Warm Welcome”
We arrived here after an horrendous 12 hour journey from St Malo, snow closing one lane! Then the lorries 🚚 🙄 knowing most french restaurants close at 2100, we arrived at 2033! we were warmly greeted & the receptionist immediately informed the kitchen. Quick visit to our room. The food was sooo good, spinach & prawn risotto for one. Fish soup and prawns in tempura 🍤. Finished with a really rum baba. Charming waiter who informed us that he'd not long started work here. Thank you for such a lovely welcome.

“A basic hotel with a swimmingpool”
The bathroom and the bed were ok. The room had the basic equipment and not more. The swimmingpool was open, but unfortunately is was raining and cold. Parking just in front of the hotel and easy access from the highway.

“Great stay - wish I’d stayed 2 nights not just 1.”
The room was simple but absolutely fine. The hotel was in a commercial area with a Lidl across the road but was very easy to find and not far from the motorway. A short walk to a very leafy, quiet road and in about 20 minutes walk there was a lovely beach. The beach was quiet but with a cafe. The highlight of the hotel was the dinner - I had the best fish soup ever - thank you, Chef. I would love the recipe.
