We spent a week at the hotel. The reception was pleasant from the start, with very helpful staff, albeit most spoke only French. Not a problem really...

The room was adequate and as there were shutters, a good night's sleep was gained. I found the bed comfy and slept well, although my partner found his bad back didn't like the matress. The bathroom was wonderful whether you wanted a very powerful hot shower, or a long soak in a deep and ample bath tub (the shower was over the shower).

Breakfast was more than adequate with a wide choice from the buffet selection....you can get lunch and dinner there too, but we chose to eat at the various restaurants around the village and other towns.

On a cloudy afternoon we went for a splash in the indoor pool, but it's not long enough to use for exercise, more relaxation. As we went outside of the main season, there were no children staying so it was quite a chilled time.

The beach is across the road (on a bend) from the hotel, but with recent traffic calming humps, car speeds are managed to avoid accidents ! The beach at this point is good for sunbathing but rock pools mean that swimming isn't viable other than at high tide. A short walk, drive or cycle to La Terriere is the best option...the beach there is patrolled and sand and swimming are fabulous !

I'd recommend this hotel and resort to anyone as there is something for everyone here.....The Forge would be my recommendation for good, basic French food....

We'll be back.
