Hotel berhampiran Birthplace of Chateaubriand, Saint-Malo

It was the smallest hotel room that we have ever stayed in. The headboard of the bed was against one wall, the side of the bed was 12/18 inches away from the window and the wall at the bottom of the bed was about 12/18 inches away from the end of the bed. The only way to navigate around the room was to walk sideways like a crab. The wall at the end of the bed had a wall mounted TV, and with the bracket fixing it to the wall, it protruded about 6 inches away from the wall. In order to get to the bathroom, you have to walk sideways along the end of the bed and then bend 45% so that you don't bang your shoulder against the TV (which we both managed to do at least once). We went in June and it was hot.If you left the window open, you were kept awake until the early hours by the loud revellers leaving the bars and restaurants. If you had the windows closed, you couldn't sleep as you were uncomfortably hot. The hotel really needs some Air Conditioning. The staff were really nice, particularly the receptionist, Nicholas who was very helpful. The breakfasts are good, so it's a real shame that the room was so tiny and rather spoilt our stay.

Despite its small size, the room is thoughtfully designed and features all the necessary amenities. The breathtaking ocean view and convenient location make it an ideal choice for a short trip.

An single night stay before catching the early ferry. It’s location is good for getting to the ferry (by car), and the parking is free. The hotel room doors face outside (the parking area), and traffic noise is common. The double rooms are smallish, and not made for a longer stay (1 desk chair), but the double bed is comfortable. Check in is not a seamless process if you book thru popular booking sites. Between 11:00 and 5:00 there is no front desk staff, and you check in using the kiosk outside. Unfortunately, the booking site reference number is not the hotel booking number to use at the kiosk. They have a help button, but the delay is annoying enough to sour the experience.

Personnels agréables, à votre écoute et très accueillant, même la nuit avec son gardien. Hôtel idéalement situé, comprenant piscine et salle de fitness, bon petit déjeuner. Je recommande.

Lovely clean and modern hotel with a very friendly and helpful receptionist. It feels very safe as you have a code to use to open your room door and also the lobby door and car park gates if it’s after 9pm. Plenty of parking spaces too. Bed was comfortable and bedding was good quality and everywhere was very clean. My only gripe was that the quilt only reaches the edges of the bed but as the bed is big you can move into the middle so it’s not too bad. The bathroom is small but perfectly adequate and the shower is very good. We were on floor 2 looking out at the next door hotel and it was very quiet all night. I had the window open but there is air conditioning should you want it. Breakfast was well organised and there was plenty of choice. Cereal, pastries, several types of bread and jams, yogurts, fruit compote pots and apples, cheeses too. There was scrambled eggs, bacon and sausages and also good, freshly ground coffee. I would imagine that it might be busy in the Summer months but fine for us in May. There is no bar but a vending machine with soft drinks etc. There are 3 places to eat nearby and with your booking invoice you can get a 10% discount on them all. We have eaten at the nearby Italian and Chinese restaurants and they are both excellent. The Chinese at 20€ for a help yourself buffet with superb food and plenty of choice is excellent value.

We loved our four night stay at this place! One needs a car to access, but we found it a perfect base from which to explore Dinan, St.Malo and Mont St Michel. This is a country retreat, with beautiful surroundings, lovely accommodations, and friendly and helpful staff. One note: it has changed ownership in the past couple of years (I found it in the Rick Steves guidebook where the previous owner was referred to in glowing terms). We found the current owners to be entirely charming, friendly, relaxed and helpful so it would appear that the transition to new ownership has been smooth. A shout out to the young man who is the nephew of the owners- he is a gem and was so friendly to us and our attempts to speak French (he liked to practice his English, we liked to practice our French!). Our “room” was actually a suite complete with living room and rear patio, which looked out on the nearby green fields with a glimpse in the distance of the Rance River (this is considered to be in the Rance River Valley, and it is beautiful country). Very comfortable and private, We enjoyed charcuterie platters on two evenings in the main building where we were the only guests partaking- perfect after a full day of sightseeing when we didn’t want to drive the 15 or so minutes into Dinan. There is a full bar where you can order a glass or bottle of wine or whatever you might prefer. Breakfasts were served in a lovely large dining room, and included excellent pastries and bread as well as yogurts, fruit, cereal and the like. We thoroughly enjoyed it all. If I lived in France I would make this a regular retreat as it was incredibly relaxing, beautiful and pleasant. Sadly, I do not live in France-!- but would return here in a heartbeat if I were in this beautiful part of Brittany. Highly recommend.
