What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Room is clean, as is the Bathroom, bed takes up most of the room, but its clean very clean and comfortable. Couple of nights is perfect. Staff are very pleasant.”
“Lovely hôtel ! Only 10 minutes from the beach. Really good value for the price! And excellent customer service from the gentleman at the réception.”
“Great little hotel just off the main road, with free parking! The owner is very friendly (I do not understand the reviews that say otherwise) and he advised us on some great places to visit in the region and was very welcoming and professional. The parking lot has the cutest little cat that is super friendly and welcoming too. The room itself (we stayed in room 2) was a good size, clean and the bed was extremely comfortable, with really nice sheets and is one of the best hotel beds I’ve slept in in a long time! I was not disturbed by light or noise from the road either, and the proximity of the hotel to the beach, town center and to Cabourg was great. I will be back, thank you!”
