Hotel L'Auberge, Tea Room & Restaurant

One of our favorite hotel stays, ever. The grounds are beautiful, the service is excellent, and the rooms (suites, really) are perfectly set up. We loved having a fire in the evenings (we visited in winter). The breakfast was lovely, and the much-anticipated afternoon waffles were delicious. I only hope we are lucky enough to return one day!

I cannot speak highly enough of l’auberge. The family room is the perfect setup for a family. The beds are super comfortable, heated floors are great for cold nights, and the showers may have the best water pressure I’ve ever experienced. Fireplace was a great place to unwind at the end of the night. The grounds are beautiful. Service was perfect. We didn’t have dinner at the restaurant, but breakfast had a nice variety of foods (coffee was probably the only place they were lacking). Walls are thin but it’s a charming old hotel and the guests here are quiet. Would definitely stay here again.

So the first thing I should say is it’s winter so out of season.|The property is old and quaint as many places are here and some form of landmark, so lots of history and cute. |My room was in the main water tower, I’m not sure if that’s the location of all the rooms.|Let’s get back to the rooms later. |The decor is very traditional throughout with soft music playing, and I’d say romantic and soothing. |In winter there was an open fire lit in the main building where you can sit and relax and a lovely grand piano is in view. |There are separate buildings joined to the main water tower building in which guests have to enter via exterior courtyard to the rear. |The grounds and gardens are well presented and I can imagine how this would come alive in summer.|The breakfast was 9/10. A great spread and additional options of cooked eggs and omelettes for example. Exceptional service. The omelette I had was cooked to perfection, almost best on my entire trip. |I didn’t experience any other food. The staff are all beautiful and accommodating, nothing is too much trouble. |The rooms I felt were the major let down. They are of unusual size due to the structural columns holding the building up and small. So let’s put that aside and we accept that due to the nostalgia of the building. Windows have been upgraded to double glazed so sound is no issue and the temperature was fine during winter. |The wardrobes were old and run down and poor lighting as in so many of these hotels, and very basic fixtures throughout including a pathetic Tv. It’s the only hotel I’ve ever stayed in that has no coffee and tea making facilities. In addition to that I was charged for basic bottled water. |The beds were slightly soft but comfortable, I had a good sleep.|The shower was over the bath with a curtain and not ideal for me but it was hot and good pressure. |Having said all of that it was very clean, no questions there. |Red wine selection by the glass was poor to what I like hence me not staying for dinner as a like a glass of red with my meal. |I didn’t feel the place was located in a great location if you don’t have a car but it was a peaceful part of town. |The Gym was small/ basic and bordering dangerous as run down and from the1980 if I’m honest. |I didn’t know what to expect when I booked this place and it was a little disappointing at first but the place grew on me and if you can deal with a small basic room and no gym I think you’ll be happy.|I think an upgrade of the rooms and bathrooms would make this place next level but when can a hotel do a renovation? It has to close I suppose. My score of 3.5/5 and I guess if I came back and didn’t find anything else I would reconsider especially if I was with a partner.

Lovely hotel with wonderful helpful staff in a great location. Good wines, good food, very relaxing. And the free bikes were a bonus. Thankyou

Just a brief walk to a very popular beach, but in a quiet upscale neighborhood, this hotel was completely enjoyable from start to finish. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, the rooms (we added 2 days and moved rooms to allow that) were perfect, especially the view room in the tower! L’Auberge’s grounds are expansive, lush and had something new and inviting every time we walked through. Food was really lovely and my special diet needs were accommodated and helpful suggestions made. The pool was so warm! Very inviting. We are sad to be leaving!

I didn’t stay at the hotel but visited for their famous tea-time waffles. This spot has been notoriously difficult for us to get into—after several attempts over the years, we either faced extremely long waits or arrived too late. This time, we came right at opening and still waited about 40 minutes for a table. The hotel itself is stunning, and the staff is exceptionally friendly. As for the waffles, they were just okay—honestly, the ones we make at home are better. The real appeal is the experience. If you’re not particularly interested in trying the "famous waffles," I’d recommend skipping them altogether and instead enjoying a coffee while exploring the beautiful grounds. For those considering staying at the hotel, it seems like an incredible place to stay, and I’m sure it would be a lovely experience. Perhaps the restaurant’s lunch or dinner options are more impressive.

Unique in its brand. Unique specials: waffles. Unique location. Excellent service. A time in paradise!

We had a great experience. The landscape is magnificent. The quiet and peaceful ambiance is what we needed it. Being to a walking distance to the beach make our stay even better. The breakfast service was excellent, Estefanie and two more women I couldn't get their names.
