LA VALLÉE - Hôtel Restaurant

You could probably spend a lot more money in one of Dinard's larger and fancier hotels but you would be missing out on what is unquestionably the most charming and perfectly located place to stay. We enjoyed a fabulous week there in July. The hotel is bright and stylish, the rooms are very comfortable and the service is excellent. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the water is a real pleasure, just sit there and watch the World go by and notice how many people are looking enviously and wishing they were sat at the table that you have. In the evening the restaurant is very good indeed and the wine list is quite exceptional. I cannot recommend La Vallee highly enough - we will be back!

The staff here were wonderful, kind and helpful. The location was great as well short walk to the beach and town, easy walk every where. My only negative would be that the poor old carpet in the rooms/hall needs to go, it is worn and does nothing but bring the experience down. Otherwise a great place.

Great location, our room was overlooking the small beach which is lovely because it gets the sun but the room was very small. Staff were nice. We didn't eat here.

A quick review. Now that I’ve tried every Michelin stars in Paris and every 3 stars in France, I’m redoing most of them and exploring more (follow me for all the reviews and updates). I’ve heard about this one because of the chef previously working in the George V. Great cellar. Great view. Awesome lobster dumplings. I repeat (as I did since I had them twice in a raw): Awesome lobster dumplings. You’ll spend a great evening, especially with the wine list they have.

Food, average. Cordon blue was served mildly warm, the seafood soup tasted like dirty mud. Nice place to sit and get out of the wind if your willing to cop the attitude from the male waiter.

We spent 2 nights and had a great time. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Our room was fairly small but had a balcony with table & chairs which was well worth it as it benefited from the afternoon and evening sun - perfect for aperitifs! The food was really good and nice views across the estuary from the restaurant. Just down from the hotel at the end of the quay you can catch the passenger ferry to St. Malo which made a fun outing. Parking outside the hotel is limited to 5 spaces but there is plenty of parking within walking distance but the hotel is at the bottom of a hill.

The Hotel is very scenically located and has warm,friendly staff. Our frustration at having to wait four days for our ferry to the Channel Islands has been mitigated by a big comfortable bed, excellent room facilities , good restaurant and nearby parking. And 30 euros a night cheaper than a box room in a faceless chain hotel in St Malo.

Although English , we live in France and I chose this hotel mostly for it's location . Unfortunately I booked it six hours before the lockdown earlier this year . We then moved our booking date twice .. Which was no problem for the hotel . I booked a sea view with a BIG double bed (room 220 on the second floor ) ||On arrival , we easily found a parking space ... right next to the hotel . The hotel is modern with a lovely veranda outside . Booking in was efficient and we received a form to pre order breakfast the next morning .. Was very pleased to find checking out time was twelve noon .. and we could have breakfast as late as 10 am .We dumped our bags and made our way to the outside area where we soon realised that there was only one waiter .. who not only delivered the drinks but made them up .... We weren't in any hurry ... and amid storm Alex (?? ).. we sat in blazing sunshine .||The room was spotlessly clean , with a great view. Added bonus was the electric shutter which cut out any noise when we slept . A very small issue with breakfast ... as we ticked the ' summer fruits ' (??) option ... to expect a small bowl of various fresh fruits ... only to be presented with a peach each ?? . It might have been our mistake though .. other than that breakfast was nice .||Deciding that evening that the weather had turned we decided to eat in the hotel . Superb food ,... excellent service .In the morning the tide had come in , illustrating a whole new view of the bay between Dinard and St. Malo ( which can be accessed via a water taxi )....All in all , a great break ..... Other than the service outside , the whole experience was great .. and we plan to go back . P.S. Very dog friendly hotel

Dinner I enjoyed food. I had foie gras, scallop with roasted vegetables and grilled apple and ice cream. I guess I paid €45 for these plates. It was decent dinner. I cannot compare this restaurant with a sophisticated restaurant in Paris but if you have a decent dinner in Dinard, this place is certainly I can suggest. It wasn't so noisy and very relaxing space that are what I like about.
