The hotel was clean and the hosts were very accommodating and kind. The only issue was the parking when lots of guests were there as you have to block eachother in, but that was sorted with an 8am car shuffle. We had a lovely stay.

Séjour très agréable avec une chambre avec vue sur la baie. Hôtes très accueillants et pdj complet. On peut garer la voiture juste devant. Seule la terrasse mériterait un petit rafraîchissement. Le resto "Bistro" sur la plage est très bien avec des spécialités de la mer et pas chères. Des ballades sur le sentier des douaniers sont possibles depuis le logement.

I stayed 2 nights in a single room, it’s a simple and unpretentious B&B. The welcome was warm and friendly but not intrusive, I really felt valued as a guest. The room was large enough, simply furnished and with everything I’d expect. The room and bathroom were very clean and well maintained. Breakfast was a highlight, in the bay window room all cooked to order and of excellent quality. A really nice place to stay. Recommended.
