“Such a nice romantic escape!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2010
1
person found this review helpful

The hotel is on a hilltop overlooking the Somme bay. Having been there three years ago on business, I had a very romantic duplex room, with a single bed, TV, table, etc, on one level, and a double bed in a mezzanine under the rafters. This time, on holiday with my wife, I was first assigned a plain room which I turned down, requesting the same room I had before. This I got, and we liked it so much that we decided to stay an extra night. The view is spectacular, the staff are helpful, the breakfast buffet is varied and plentiful. No dobt we'll go again, but this time, we will request in advance a room with a mezzanine. (it is also a perfect place to organize business meetings, there are well appointed meeting rooms). Wi-fi is available and free, but coverage is spotty. Pets are allowed for a nominal charge.

“back to nature”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2008

people found this review helpful

location:
Far enough outside the small (very pretty) town of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme to get the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere. Just you, the wind, the trees, the water and nature (and some other people who also thought they might like that kind of thing). It is a great base for exploring, walking and cycling. We stayed for a one-night stop-over on our way further South and chose this hotel from the Parc de Marquenterre bird sanctuary website. (Incidentally this sanctuary is a nice visit for a morning or afternoon if the weather's nice and you like Nature / birds / walking).
BEWARE! The GPS coordinates for this hotel on the bottom of the email we received from them were wrong so we went half an hour in the wrong direction. The correct location is lat 50.18894 long 1.61113

Rooms:
At first glance the outbuilding where our room was located made me a bit worried but actually the room was lovely (see photo). Features were simple and basic but with modern decoration and it was very clean. Ours was on the 1st floor so had a sloping roof and a great additional single bed up on a mezzanine. Kids would love this but parents of younger children will probably worry that the kids will fall down the steep stairs in the night if they decide to go downstairs.

Reception:
Very efficient and helpful. Times of the tides are displayed and you can hire bikes.

Bar:
Friendly staff. You can have bar food here or eat in the restaurant.

We didn't try the restaurant.

To summarise: a perfectly nice place to stay if you're in the area and like to 'get back to nature'.

  • Liked — comfortable white bed and natural jute flooring in room

“Spacious location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2008

people found this review helpful

We were a family of 4 staying 1/2 board. It worked out at GBP195 per night. Plus points are the feeling of space and openness; tennis courts and pool [that could be a bit bigger]. Room was ok; meals ok in the main, but not the gastronomic experience the website might lead you to believe. I think it is owned by the municipality as there was no 'manager' in evidence and the website was the same as for the region. On the downside, us Brits do not like dogs in restaurants [they were indulged more than children - ghastly!] Service in the evening was hit and miss and fell apart if the main man was absent. Would we return? Maybe, but on b&b basis, and take the meals in St Valery.
