I do stay here 3 times a year but it’s busy. I don’t expect to be remembered but I was and that is welcoming. Particularly good as a solo traveller. I feel looked after in le phare. Plus I enjoy the atmosphere and location when having supper. The rooms are very clean.

Good value and pleasant

Clean with efficient pleasant staff. Very comfortable beds, mattresses seemed quite new. Good shower pressure. Nice to find a family room for 2 adults and 2 children. Good wifi. On the basic side and the room carpet was very tired but a fine place to stay.

Disliked: Room comfort

Super location for ferry, but several drawbacks.

Location spot on for overnighting before ferry crossing. Restaurant pretty good too. But our double room was comparatively small, as was the bed, with little room to move around the bed or room. No kettle, tea or coffee, nor water. Bathroom ok. Overall our 100 euro cost was, by normal French standards, well over the top.

We use this property as it is convenient for the ferry terminal. There are also restaurants nearby, so there is a choice for the evening. Polite, efficient check in and room is perfectly adequate for what we want and what we have paid.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Fine for a night, but dated.

We booked a room for one night. It is a quiet place to get some rest. The room was small and older. The bathroom was small, with a tiny shower and a soap dispenser near the sink for all washing purposes. We were assigned a top floor (attic) room with pitched ceilings, so one must watch where they are walking at night. The bed was comfortable, but rather small for two people. Altogether, the place wasn't particularly pretty, but a decent place to rest. The property offers a buffet breakfast for €9 per person, which we did not avail ourselves of.
