This was a fantastic second stop in Brittany. The hotel, also home to a Michelin-starred restaurant (we ate there one night - WOWZA!!), is a beautiful centuries-old seaside manor house that has been added onto and renovated. I saw some reviewer refer to this gem as no better than a Hilton, and I couldn't disagree more. ||We stayed in a seaview balcony room, and every night we watched the sun set on the horizon, creating that golden light (and then pink sky) that only fresh, non-polluted air can provide. ||The room was very comfortable - bed great, linens soft, pillows supportive, toiletries excellent. True, there is no A/C. This is not a surprise. Brittany is historically cool and typically, A/C is not necessary. If A/C is a must-have for you, Brittany probably is not your best vacation destination.||The tides are crazy(!!) so at certain times, the sea was far away, and at other times, it was a "normal" beach. Swimming is possible when the tide is in. ||We found staff, both in the hotel, the restaurant and the bar, to be attentive and informative, without being overbearing. The breakfast selection, included in our rate, was extensive and the food was fresh and delicious. As noted earlier, our dinner in the gourmet restaurant was absolutely top notch (and we have dined in dozens of the world's best restaurants, so have ample experience to compare), with completely professional staff. We also ate a dinner in the bar lounge, which was delightful - not as extensive or fancy a menu as in the gourmet restaurant (no surprise!), but no less fresh in the offerings, and no less delicious in the execution. We did not expect (nor should anyone expect) that a bistronomic restaurant will be the same as a gastronomic restaurant, and the reviewer who complained that the food was not the same probably failed to make a reservation in the gastronomic restaurant and was disappointed that they could not be accommodated. Note that the hotel informs guests that they should reserve, in advance, a table at the gastronomic restaurant if they wish to dine there, so there is no good excuse for failing to plan. ||After 4 nights here, we were so sad to leave this wonderful destination, and hope to return just as soon as we can!!!
