This is a beautiful well kept property with extraordinary hospitality extended by the Proprietor Alain and his wife and son and staff. They offer a very traditional French experience, from the accommodation to the aperitif to the petit dejeuner. It was magnificent and we cannot wait to visit again. We wouldn't change a thing about this hotel or this visit!

Friendly and well-run hotel.

Gorgeous little hotel but the pipes made some noise. Just outside the town but not secluded. Simple but gorgeous breakfast.

Great value but needs tlc

Great hotel and new owners took over in April. It's a bit dated and needs some tlc but I'm sure new owners will sort. Only negative is the wi_fi it's only about .5 Mb so very poor

Tout confort, avec trucs améliorables et rires.

Juste un samedi soir au dimanche matin, pour être bien logés pour la nuit sur la rive nord du bassin d'Arcachon. On a apprécié le "tout confort" de la chambre la plus simple. Hôtel cosi et original. Le patron nous a fait rire avec son sketch au petit déjeuner. Humour lourd et éclatant pour tout le monde. La salle de petit déjeuner était une salle de "potes" et de clients mélangés qui bruyait comme show comique. C'était vraiment chouette
