Very good, would stay again and recommend.
Pros:

Very nice room, well furnished and very clean. Staff very friendly and helpful and a nice buffet style breakfast.

Cons:

Nothing. The overall experience was good. The room did not have AC, but that might be to do with the age of the building.

Beautiful and comfortable.
Pros:

The facilities were very well maintained and appointed. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was very well doen.

Cons:

The heatwave made the stay uncomfortable. We are from the USA so probably more sensitive to the heat than the locals. I would have appreciated another fan for the room during the heatwave. I did not ask so my mistake.

Service level and facilities not worthy of the 'boutique' moniker and price
Pros:

The courtyard dining is very pleasant in the sunshine. The location is ideal for access to the promenade or to the Kings theater. The bed was comfortable and the room and en-suite were clean. The male attendant and the young waitress at breakfast were very pleasant and accommodating.

Cons:

No information sent regarding the pre-booked gated parking so we arrived at reception not knowing where to go. Receptionist seemed bored and un-engaged on both days. Front-of-house maître d' was head-down and didn't make eye contact the entire time, not even when telling us to vacate the breakfast table as it was reserved for a non-resident booking. The room ensuite was small with very little storage space. The TV was basic and had no smart functions. Paltry amount of milk provided in sachets for tea and coffee. Overall with the service level and facilities not worthy of the 'boutique' moniker and not worth the hefty price tag (£184.50) for a single night B&B stay.

Pros:

Loved the quietness of the property and closeness to D-Day museum and the beach front.

Cons:

Staff were good at check in and dinner/ breakfast service but when we went to check out girl didn’t ask a us anything about our stay or where we were going. This one ack by the checkout receptionist soured our stay.
