Excellent restaurant and stylish New England type decor. Let down slightly by lack of general areas for relaxation and absence of car park. Not the easiest place to find - head for the lighthouse and ask!

My mum and I booked to stay here during the few days between Christmas and New Year and it proved the perfect escape. Our lovely room was tucked at the top of the stairs in the main part of the hotel and featured a beautiful double bed and open plan bathroom. The hotel breakfast was fantastic and the bar proved...

We came during the summer on a two week tour around France, this was our third stop for sadly just three nights. Loved the area and the hotel which has a lovely restaurant. The nearby beach on the Atlantic side is stunning and not crowded plus Rusty our pup could happily run around, which isnt the case on all the... More

Do NOT book to stay here if you want a spa, pool or to have to dress for dinner. This hotel is an authentic throwback to a simpler time when a holiday was a time to relax, refresh and recharge. It does not do flash, bang or even wallop well. It sits perfectly at the Southern end of Cap Ferret,... More

We spent a Thursday and Friday night here at the beginning of October with a couple of French friends (from Bordeaux) who are regulars. We thought it was absolutely charming. It has a relaxed, shabby chic continental style and the staff were friendly and helpful at check in, dinner and breakfast. We stayed on the ground floor of the annexe... More

We stayed at this hotel beginning of October 3 nights just when everybody was leaving. Our nicely decorated large room and balcony was in the annexe. Everywhere was the touch of the maritim life and of the lovely Arcachon bay.The personal was charming and helpful. I cannot agree with the commentary of the previous visitors about the resto that was... More

Yes, my room was small but it smells childhood memories and it had everything I needed, splendid amenities included. It is a charming Cap Ferret traditional house and I slept with my window open with a glimpse on the Bassin. It is about that gentle and pleasant experience and not about getting the 5 stars hotel chain treatment. Service is... More

We tried this restaurant during our 2 week stay in Cap Ferret in June. I cannot say it was a disaster - because it was quite nice, but rather expensive and pompous for what it really was. The food was good, but overpriced. Going inside to the toilet, I got a feel for the place which was oldy wordy and... More

I've waited a while to write this review as I was uncertain how to describe our experience. Many things about this hotel should make it a hands down knockout: the small size should make it cozy and intimate, the terrace and outside bar for enjoying summer evenings, its ideal location in one of the most charming areas of France.

If you are looking for an ambinece that would make you feel like you have walked onto the set of an Agatha Christie film (we were almost waiting for monsier Poirot to wish us good morning on the landing on the way down to breakfast) then this is the place for you. No tv's, no silly mini bars, real paintings... More
