L'Hôtel de Carantec

We had a wonderful stay at the L'hotel de Carantec. The hotel is located in a wonderful location overlooking the bay. The room was well appointed and very comfortable. The bathroom was large and very clean. The view was beautiful. It was an easy walk to the beaches and town center. The food was fantastic. The dinner was an experience Lynn and I will never forget. The presentation and quality of the dishes were top notch. The service was impeccible. The breakfast was excellent as well with many locally sourced items. We want to thank Jeremy and his team for a wonderful customer experience and Chef Nicolas Carro for a delightful epicurean experience.

We loved this hotel. The location is fabulous with stunning views over the bay. Our room was newly renovated, comfortable and stylish. Every detail had been considered from lovely toiletries in the room to sustainability. And the breakfast in a light filled room, or on the terrace, both with views across the beach, was a varied buffet including many local, delicious specialities. We enjoyed the short, but steep, walks either down to the bustling beach area or up to the pretty little town. All the staff were charming and very helpful but were unable to give us a table in the restaurant which we had omitted to book in advance. All in all a lovely stay. Thank you!

A delightful small hotel in a good location with sea views. The room was very comfortable and well appointed. The restaurant served only taster menus which were interesting and expensive. It was surprising that they did not offer a more traditional menu at a fairer price, but maybe this is not needed as the restaurant was fully booked on the night we were there. I get the impression that this establishment was more a restaurant with a few rooms, rather than a hotel. Breakfast was good.

This hotel has the most beautiful view of the sea! With a large outdoor balcony with chairs to sunbathe and relax on. |The bed was large and comfy. But I think the hotel relies on the great view and doesn't care about renewing old furniture. Without the view, it would be a very average hotel room.

The hotel is beautifully situated with stunning views over the water in a very quiet town. So quiet, in fact, that your other food choices are extremely limited (a decent crepe place and a few so-so restaurants on the beach).||||The hotel itself: some rooms face the ocean and have a lovely terrace. Rooms themselves are comfortable though the bathrooms could use updating-- not Relais & Chateau level. Wifi is iffy. ||||Breakfasts are a disappointment. 2* hotels typically provide a wonderful spread that includes, but isn't limited to things like fresh squeezed juices, excellent breads & croissants, other breakfast pastries in addition to cheeses, meats, and house specialties. While some cheese & meat was provided, there was no fresh juice at all and just a bit of fruit salad. Croissants were mediocre, and though crepes were a nice addition, the offerings were underwhelming. Odd given that it's a 2* restaurant. ||||Moreover, the restaurant itself was a disappointment. Not terrible, but not great. Certainly not not 2* quality by a long shot. Service ditto, rather perfunctory. It didn't seem as if anyone was genuinely invested in pleasing the guests. ||||We had a far far better experience at Anne de Bretagne (also 2*) on the South Coast. Given the prices, we wish we had stayed there longer instead.

Breakfast is very expensive, more than twice the price of some other hotels.

Quite disappointed for Michelin 2 stars restaurant.|We took lunch menu as it suits us. There are 5 set menus, three of them having a dish of cheese and a dish contain one type of meat that we don’t like so we decided to pick the forth one and almost the cheapest one, why not. |Amouse bouche was ordinary with almost no flavor. Starter was very good with worked on it. Main dish was miserable for me as far as the quantity presented as 2 stars Michelin. I don’t know what it will come out but believe it will be just a type of lamb and might cut into slides to be able to eat easier beautifully. After I was not so happy of what difficulty I had and having less appetite to eat then stop eating totally. My sister in law told me that this is the way it is for the type of meat. It’s not a problem as meat was tender and good but the point is not there as a Michelin 2 stars serving a big lamb shank on the plate like I will have in a normal restaurant, difficult to take skin out, cutting meat which is not easy and bone might slip to the table or the plate of other if I don’t use one hand to hold. I didn’t feel comfortable at all to do this kind of thing in a 2 stars Michilin restaurant. It spoiled my appetite which I expect 2 stars restaurant should manage or propose another dish which is easier for customers to eat and nicier for the look from the plate. |Staff came and asked how we like and I tried to explain. She didn’t even wait for me to explain for long but cut the conversation asking if I want to change to something else. I didn’t mean to explain for having something else. After I refused to on this proposal, she just left. It was a kind of rude that I have never seen even in a normal good restaurant. 2 stars from Michelin came from what kind of category? The best rude of staff? The best to be able to let customers feeling awkward? The best of having staff like robot and fast move? The best of fast speaking and doesn’t care if customers understand of what they are talking about? |I promise myself not to go to any kind of Michelin star restaurant anymore. Normal good one in good Hotel or even not are much better food, more attentive so why I bother to spend more money in such a bad service.

This is probably the best place in town. Rooms on 2th floor have terraces with fantastic view over the bay. The two star rated Patrick Jeffroy restaurant is of course excellent but the difference with one star or less rated restaurants is not obvious. The presse de tourteau, one of their specialities, is fine, as is the lobster, but for this you do not need a two star restaurant. Prices are reasonable.||Free parking. Wifi did not work in our room, although Patrick Jeffroy came himself to our room in an effort to make it work, which was highly appreciated. Obviously we were not the first with this "problem".||Overall this place can be highly recommended.
