We stayed here in August with our baby. The lady manger (owener) went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and happy. For the duration of our stay she lent us her kettle and each morning she would come over and play with our baby so we could enjoy a relaxing cup of coffee over breakfast. The hotel and pool was very clean. Rooms basic but very clean and comfortable. We had a bath, shower, TV and terrace with sun lounges and tabel etc. Had a lovely meal at the restaurant next door - 3 courses for 3 different prices. The staff make this hotel, the manager (owner) is a delightful lady who will go out of her way to help you enjoy your stay.

The owners were lovely and friendly and the room was spacious and clean. The pool was wonderful and really well looked after gardens.

Only drawbacks were :
No fridge in room and location a way from shops meant it was difficult to have a cold drink without spending a fortune.
Also breakfast at 10 Euro per person was an expensive option with a 4 and 6 year old.

The owners of this hotel could not do enough for us, we spent a month in Europe, and this was the best hotel experience we had - the first time i have posted on trip advisor, we were so impressed that we would love to see this hotel do well. The room we had was great for a family and we were two adults, two teenagers and a six year old - a lovely balcony, clean pool, copious breakfast - and Madam actually brought breakfast to our room on a tray because she didn't want us to miss it the first morning, after a late arrival! If you are staying in this area, don't hesitate to book this hotel for value and personal care!

Our room at L'Hippocampe was fresh and clean. The floor space seemed a bit small, possibly because the ceiling was slanting. The bathroom included a large shower with shower curtain. The location was not scenic, but it was only about one mile from the menhirs of Carnac and the new visitor center at the Menec menhirs. At 50 euros, it was a good value. The desk clerk/owner greeted us warmly and gave us helpful maps and advice about finding the sites in which we were interested.

The restaurant on site boasted a Parisian-trained chef. We tried the oysters, fresh from the L'Hippocampe oyster farm. They were our first oyster adventure and the host kindly gave us advice about how to eat them. They were probably world-class oysters but we don't have any background for comparison.

After finding the web site, we were reluctant to book because it asked for a deposit several times larger than the room rate. After a phone call, we learned this deposit was necessary only for long-term stays.
