Hôtel du Phare

Very disappointed with my moules marinières this evening - this restaurant is supposed to be good at seafood but my moules marinières was virtually tasteless with not even a trace of white wine. I’ve done better moules marinières myself. The best thing about the meal was the hot frites!

Popped in for a meal last week and was blown away! The location is pretty, the service fantastic and the food. . .just incredible! The pan fried sea bass was amazing! Will definitely visit again!

The Phare has always been our place to have our last meal in France before going on the ferry , we always had fantastic meal . After checking on line we saw they were opened until 2:30 pm for lunch . We arrived at 13:40 and were told they were not serving anymore , anything at that point any kind of foodwill have been good as we have been travelling for over 3 hours . But no the woman ignored us at the beginning, and she just said the kitchen was closed and when back to what she was doing . The place was busy either still empty table . All I can said they have lost our custom as we have discovered another fantastic places around the corner

We stayed here in 2021 and the room was basic but OK. This time we found the room disappointing. There was nowhere to hang any clothes - 2 cupboards one with shelves and the other locked. The TV was the size of a postage stamp. No main light (one side light and one behind the bed) which also meant there was only one usable plug socket. Bathroom very dated and just a handheld shower head. Yes it is cheap but it needs updating.

Not a great experience, perhaps the worst hotel I have stayed in in Europe. Booked 3 rooms with family. The room smelt very stale, the toilet and bowl was encrusted in specks of excrement, the shower tray was cracked and the wall paper was peeling off the walls. The shower in my son's room was non functional. Yes, the location was convenient for the ferry but that's surely the only reason this hotel can get away with having such incredibly low standards.

My mother and I do not eat fish or dairy, so the only option for us in the restaurant was a lettuce and tomato side salad (however this was not the problem). Both our vegetable salad sides then came with a random (and well hidden) bit of salmon in the bottom of the bowl. We had already told the waiter we do not eat fish and the fact that it was only a single small piece of salmon at the bottom of each bowl seemed intentional. The room and the staff other than (I assume) the chef were passable.

Restaurant is very well situated with a nice team. Classic seafood menu and quality for money

*amended rating to 1 star because a disgusting child's shoe was found underneath our bed (see picture). How can this room have possibly been cleaned...looking at the carpet in closer detail - the floor is absolutely filthy and they have put a rug over it to cover it up. Unacceptable. Dated hotel in need of serious renovations. Great location for visitors needing to catch a ferry. They charge €5 per bike should you need to store it at the hotel and require you to be present at 10pm to store it away you cannot store it anytime before) and you must remove it at 8am (they actually stipulated 7am Initially). Bar closes at 9:30 pm. You are not allowed to eat food or drink alcohol in your room. Breakfast is a simple offering but the lady who runs it is sweet. Upon check out you are unable to leave your luggage at the hotel if you need to depart later in the day. The manager seemed curt and unfriendly. Reasonable value for money but based on my experience over a 2 night stay I am unable to recommend this hotel.
