We had a room on the top floor facing the sea - lower ones might not have a view, but this meant taking our luggage up two flights of stairs. The restaurant had a good menu, but the food while acceptable seemed to us to be slightly on the pretentious side. The hotel is only a short walk from the port and centre of town. Only limited parking right in front of the hotel, but other places to park with a short distance. There is an attractive small garden at the rear - would have be nice if the weather had been better. On the overall rating one has to choose between "average" and "very good" - I'd say it was somewhere between these.

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel and it was very cosy and clean. We were a little disappointed that we were given twin beds alongside each other rather than a double bed but it didn't affect our stay too much. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms are very well furnished with complimentary wifi and a flatscreen TV. The hotel has a gorgeous garden with benches and a nice restaurant downstairs. We were there for one night, it was nice but a little overpriced for what it was.

There are a variety of menus on offer including a 19 euro two course lunch offering (either entrée and plat or plat and dessert), which was a smoked salmon entrée followed by a fish plat with tomato salsa, both nicely presented and perfectly cooked. The 19 euros included a nice pre-starter, but desserts were extra (our 14 euro choice from the à la carte was excellent). Bread was freshly made and very good (not your average French stick) and coffee was reasonable. Wines at 6 euros a glass were very nice, and the coffee was good. Definitely recommended, and the à la carte choices looked very nice too.

We chose this hotel because it's only 20 miles from Cherbourg therefore ideal for catching the ferry the next morning, and were delighted with it. It is quiet, very stylish and beautifully decorated with a very pretty garden. Our room was small but had two windows overlooking the garden, so felt quite spacious, and was decorated in restful shades of blue and grey. The bathroom was good, but the bath sloped down towards the plug slightly which felt a bit weird!

Dinner was excellent, and breakfast simple but good. All in all a wonderful stopover in a beautiful location, which left us wanting to spend more time there.
