Boked online but it really exceeded expectations - would definitely return and the town is lovely.
Pros:

loved the central location - great for staggering back with shopping: mixture of modern and clean facilities but enough old world
french charm. Having a car park was a real bonus as when driving down narrow streets in a UK car you really need a place to leave it as soon as you can. We very much liked the fact that at Dinner there were many french people - and the food was excellent.

Pros:

Die zentrale Lage und das historische Ambiente

Cons:

Das Zimmer war nicht sauber (Pfotenabrücke b Teppich, Papierschnipsel, Plastikteile, staubige Abdeckungen b Lüftung) es roch nach Katzenurin, die Lüftung im Bad war defekt und deshalb störend laut. Bei Rückmeldung an der Reception versprach man, sich darum zu kümmern. Das Geräusch war weg bei Wiederkehr, es roch nach einem Duftspray - gesaugt wurde aber nicht. Bei Rückmeldung Check-out gab es aber eine Entschuldigung mit Erlass der Kosten für Frühstück.

Pros:

Posizione perfetta per visitare il paese le l'isola pedonale.
Colazione veramente TOP ! Dal dolce al salato non mancava nulla.
Il ristorante non l'ho provato quindi non posso dare giudizi.

Cons:

Siamo arrivati in Normandia in un periodo molto caldo.
La camera era priva di aria condizionata e la finestra si affacciava sulla corte interna/ristorante (rumoroso in certi orari)
