Excellent for a short stay, one to three nights probably ideal. Good location to visit local sights. The Bayeux tapestry, the D Day beaches and the pretty town of Honfleur. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Simple and tasty breakfast. Everything very clean. Lovely pool. Easy parking. Perfect for transfer to the ferry.

Good find for a ferry trip

Excellent pre-ferry stopover. It would be useful to know in advance that the parking is secure AND yhe hotel serves substantial snacks AND there is a restaurant next door owned by the same people. The shower room was quite small

We had a fantastic stay. Room was spacious and comfy. Constructive critisim would be when cleaning don't forget the shower seals as this was quite grimey. An under counter fridge would have been a fantastic touch as we went to the shop each night to buy tea due to food intolerance. I did report the bathroom door also as being difficult to open and close. I did get stuck in there one evening so luckily husband was there to let me out lol.

Liked: Cleanliness
No restaurant on site - separate ownership restaurant not open until 7pm which is challenging with kids. We had requests and been promised interconnecting rooms, but while they were adjacent they didn’t interconnect and in spite of it saying online this is available, it doesn’t seem to be. That said, the beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms very clean, so no complaints there. Small rooms, not terribly charming but clean and quiet. .
