Categories

Cleanliness
7.9
Mixed comments: generally acceptable bedding but several guests reported a dirty carpet, bathroom floor issues and sauna-like bathrooms that affect perceived cleanliness.
Service
10
Staff repeatedly described as very friendly and helpful; multiple mentions of attentive service and returning guests. A small number of isolated issues (deposit reconciliation, one comment about a male staff member) were noted but overall service is strongly praised.
Location
10
Consistently praised: beautiful, peaceful setting and conveniently close to Honfleur; lovely garden and landscape frequently mentioned.
Room Quality
7.7
Several complaints about room layout and size, lack of air-conditioning, noisy ceilings, non-separated bathrooms and awkward bath/shower setups—comfort is uneven across rooms.
Amenities
7.9
Noted gaps for a 4-star property: no in-room safe, limited hooks/wardrobe space, no fridge with cool drinks, inconsistent AC availability and limited sun-loungers in the garden.
Value for Money
7.7
Multiple comments that the auberge feels overrated for a 4-star price point; extra charges (water/service), deposit issues and limited amenities reduce perceived value.
Food and Beverage
10
Dinner repeatedly described as outstanding and excellent dining; breakfast is good and uses artisanal products though some guests wanted more variety or better cooling/placement.
Overall Experience
10
Overall a very positive and picturesque stay for many guests (repeat visitors, free upgrades, superb dinners), tempered by specific comfort and amenity issues but leaving a strong favorable impression for most.

aangenaam verbliijf voor een korte periode.
Pros:

mooie accommodatie, zéér goed onderhouden tuin. We zijn over de ganse lijn tevreden. zéér gevarieerd ontbijt.
alhoewel er slechts één morgen gerookte zalm was.

Cons:

De oprit naar hoger gelegen parking is in slechte staat.
Er was enkel een badjas en geen slippers op de kamer.

Hotel caratteristico. Struttura molto curata e carina. Immerso nella natura.Molto pulito e ben gestito. Colazione buona. Ottima posizione.

Cons:

Per il prezzo pagato non si può avere in camera ancora il pinguino per l’aria condizionata e dover tenere la finestra aperta per farlo funzionare.

Beautiful place for us and the dog!
Pros:

Beautiful location, friendly staff, properly dog friendly. (Bed, biscuits, toy and water bowl ready and waiting in our room!) You can walk to the beach (30min) or drive (5m). Great base for visiting the busier towns and you can escape the crowds on your return. Our room had a fenced in terrace which meant the dog could wander in and out safely. Very much enjoyed our stay.

A parte questa mancanza giudico comunque positivo il soggiorno
Pros:

La tranquillità e la rusticità della struttura, molto apprezzata

Cons:

La pulizia del water incrostato non è all’ altezza del prezzo pagato
Ma possibile che quelle delle pulizie non lo hanno notato, bastava usare un prodotto specifico per la pulizia e sarebbe stato tutto perfetto
Ero nella camera numero 1 prego verificate e provvedete per gli ospiti successivi
Grazie
