We spent a weekend here during the off season and very much enjoyed our stay in this small historic family hotel, formerly a 19th century coaching inn. It has an excellent location in the heart of the small coastal town of St. Vaast (a UNESCO World Heritage site), around the corner from the harbour and, it ought to be added,... More

My mum has raved about this hotel for years, ever since she visited with her friends about 14 years ago after driving about the area and stumbling across it by chance and she has been back numerous times since! We booked a surprise visit for her for a special occasion back in June 2010, which was my first visit.Note: I... More

Very attractive building, conservatory & garden - in fact the tropical gardens were astonishing! Pleasant, helpful staff. Room ("superior") was a little basic but perfectly OK and the balcony was petite but pleasant. Restaurant - food & service - very good indeed.

Great location for a weekend visit, about 20 miles from Cherbourg with a saturday market right outside the hotel. The rooms are clean and nicely decorated, perhaps a little dated in the bathroom but fine. Food was outstanding on the 60 euro menu. Six courses, not the largest portions but beautifully presented and tasted amazing. There are cheaper menus available.... More

We stayed in the best room which was very comfortable and newly decorated but up steep stairs. The highlight of this hotel is Fuschias, the restaurant, where the service and food is classy and professional. Madame Brix has been presiding here for many years with style. The staff are well trained and the chef knows his business with classic and... More

A friendly & charming hotel with excellent food (breakfast was good but a little expensive for what provided) and garden. We opted for the cheapest room available which was fine but very small - OK for 1 night but not more. Glad we had our own pillows with us as the pillows were not good. On Monday night the menu...

We booked a 7 night stay at Hotel de France and stayed only 1 because it was late & we could not find anywhere to stay. They allocated us an attic room which had a bed thrown in the corner & a chair. No mirror, lamp or bedside table. The room stunk of stale tobbacco the carpet was filthy and... More

What a delightful hotel this is. A number of ancient buildings cluster round a garden that is lush and almost sub=tropical, were it not for the Normandy weather. There is a certain quirkiness to the whole operation which I would not change for the world. Our room was exceptional, possibly the best in the hotel, with two balconiies and masses... More

The hotel is situated in the main street leading to the harbour of this nice little town. Nice entrance to this old historic hotel with fuchsias growing to the roof, the hotel looks a bit dated: too much fluffy carpet on the narrow steep stairs, the breakfast is served a a other building, on the other side of the beautiful...
