We stayed here as a stopover for one night on the way back from a week in a small Brittany village about 90 miles to the west, as it was only about half hour from the early St Malo ferry and saved us an early start.

We arrived about 11.30am and found the reception unmanned. When the owner did show we were told that our rooms would not be ready till 3pm (not unreasonable, but we were then left to our own devices and not even offered a drink) so, after losing ourselves in Dinan for a few hours, we headed back to the hotel about 4ish and found the rooms clean, comfortable and modern although the reception was dark and dingy with a broken glass entry door.

Although the buildings themselves are quite attractive, the outside courtyard area is somewhat scruffy with the best table reserved for the owner! The yellow hosepipe that was pumping out the green fishpond didn't help. This somewhat typified the owners' attitude to the guests in so much as the guests seemed to be a nuisance to them.

We decided to have a drink before heading back to Dinan for an evening meal as there is nothing local to the hotel. We ordered a coffee, a beer and two wines - the wine was available, but we were told the coffee would take 10-15minutes for the machine to be switched on, and there was no beer! This was drunk outside as the bar was closed and remained so for the duration of our stay.

The landlady did however order us a cab so we could escape!

At breakfast time the dining room doors were pushed open before Monsieur went back to his computer - there was no "please, come in, breakfast is now ready...". Breakfast was one croissant and some French bread and jam, a glass of orange juice and coffee. When we had almost finished it was pointed out that there were Cornflakes and yoghurt available.

To sum up, I would say that the hotel is convenient for an overnight stop close to the port, but has very little else to recommend it - it is unwelcoming.

P.S. The dog is much friendlier than the owners.
