Good location for beach - 5min. walk - pleased we could eat in the evening choosing from a substantial and varied menu. The hotel was perfect for our requirements - an overnight stop on a trip down to the south of France

Ideal location by the sea and friendly service.

Lovely location with the beach just across the road. Friendly service from the mother and son team. Room was cosy with three adults but comfortable. Dinner and breakfast were tasty and plentiful. Shower head was very low, so not great for tall people. Would stay again though.

vacances ratées

mon sejour c'est rapidement abregé, la chambre que l'on m'avait reservée etait pratiquement en sous sol et sent?ait le renfermé.C'est un vrai scandale , mes vacances sont gachées. Rien a voir ,avec la presentation de ce "charmant petit hotel". Je ne comprends pas que vous puissiez cautionner de telles choses,
