Quiet location

Just over the border from France, a good stop if you are heading north from Clais. Quiet location, parking appears limited at first sight but the hotel will tell you where you can park if you arrive when the restaurant is busy. Staff all very friendly, welcoming and professional. Bedroom is by some standards "neat" but comfortable and clean. It is obvious that the owners are hands on and want to build and maintain a good reputation. Breakfast buffet is comperhensive and the restaurant is light and pleasant. Ate in the restaurant and would do so again. Will certainly return and recommend this 3 star hotel.

Anniversary Trip

A superb hotel in a useful location for visiting western costal areas of Belgium and the Nord Pas de Calais region. Particularly well looked after. We do recommend using the elevator as the stairs may be challenging for some.

Shower was not provided with a floor mat. Therefore, the floor was very slippery and dangerous. The possibility of falls was very concerning. Washcloths would have helped as only liquid soap provided. I would stay again in a heartbeat.

Splurge into hospitality and nature!

Very nice hotel run by the owner and her team. Officially 3 stars, but really deserves 4. It’s the type of place which feels incredibly authentic, and gives you the experience of what hospitality really should feel like! Excellent location for a splurge into nature. Strongly recommend to take a room with a dunes side view.

This is a very nice hotel with attentive staff. I would stay here again if in the area. The restaurant food was very good and served in a casual atmosphere. There was very little road/external noise in our room and the rooftop patio is relaxing. Be aware that air conditioned rooms must be booked specifically.

A diamond in the dunes...

Overnight stop on the way to the Eurotunnel. Fantastic find. The standard of the hotel if it were located in London, Paris, Berlin or et al would be that of an expensive boutique hotel. The decor, comfort, cleanliness and friendliness of the staff are of the highest standard. Even small things such as at least 10 electrical sockets in the bedroom show considerable thought towards the needs of guests. Close to DePanne and its restaurants if you choose not to dine in the hotel itself. Mama Thai is highly recommended for authentic and reasonably priced Thai food.

Superb

Superb hotel and we have no complaints whatsoever. When an hotel management sets such very high standards for itself, there will be those few guests who cannot align with strict rules of conduct, and it is those, only those, who could possibly have complaints about this haven of sheer comfort.
