Good find for a ferry trip

Excellent pre-ferry stopover. It would be useful to know in advance that the parking is secure AND yhe hotel serves substantial snacks AND there is a restaurant next door owned by the same people. The shower room was quite small

We had a fantastic stay. Room was spacious and comfy. Constructive critisim would be when cleaning don't forget the shower seals as this was quite grimey. An under counter fridge would have been a fantastic touch as we went to the shop each night to buy tea due to food intolerance. I did report the bathroom door also as being difficult to open and close. I did get stuck in there one evening so luckily husband was there to let me out lol.

Good choice if taking the ferry the next day

A good choice as an overnight stay before taking the ferry. Walking distance to the town and shops nearby. The adjoining restaurant was very good. Secure parking.

Nice property with good facilities and the staff and owner so friendly and helpful throughout. It is walkable from the ferry port, although, from a personal point of view I would suggest using a taxi in hindsight.

The staff were really helpful and made a noteworthy positive contribution to my stay. The facilities were clean and well maintained and overall , although only one night, I cannot fault the hotel. Perfect (Well except that I think I may have paid a bit much for my room, but that's my fault).

good location

The staff is super friendly and welcoming, this is very close to the port but do not expect the view, most of the rooms to the parking lot side so you won’t have decent view. The breakfast is a bit over price 16 Euro. However, the location is fantastic if you travel to Normandy by ferry.

Overall cant praise them enough.
