Restaurant L'Estacade

Arriving at La Baule we had forgotten how big it was and decided against an over night stay there, so we drove along to Le Croisic to take a look.||We found a delicious creperie and enquired about places to stay and the owner sent us along to L'Estacade where we booked a room for the night.||We had a sunny afternoon wandering around Le Croisic and thoroughly enjoyed it, we have been visiting Brittany for 30+ years and had never been there so we were delighted with this beautiful find.||We had planned on going for dinner, but an expected storm arrived along with very heavy rain, so we opted for an evening in with wine, cheese & nibbles and listened to our music, we had a wonderful evening.||The room was large, clean and comfortable with a large sofa and chair. Well thought out bathroom space and a balcony where we enjoyed some afternoon sun. The bed was very comfortable which was a great bonus for us.||The rain was exceptionally heavy all night into the morning, we went to get breakfast and the instructions had not been great. You have to go outside the hotel and into one of their restaurants next door and we got soaked. ||Breakfast was not the best that we have had in Brittany, croissants and bread were very disappointing. But the surrounds were lovely and the view out onto the quay were great despite the rain.||All in all a good stay, value for money, great location and we would return if in the area again.

The hotel is situated conveniently just off the main street, and opposite the fish market (which isn't a problem at all!). It was easy to walk there from the station, and easy to find.||I arrived early, and asked if I could leave my bag whilst waiting for my room - but the room was ready (at 11am) and I was given the key, which was great. The room itself was very pleasant; I had booked a single, but was given a double. It was very tastefully decorated, and even had a small balcony. Much nicer than I was expecting! The shower room was small, and quite dated (very 1970s!), but was very clean and perfectly adequate, with nice toiletries. ||The bed was probably one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in!!! And breakfast the following morning was very good. The restaurant is very nicely decorated, and the food was excellent. Very fresh croissants, bread and pain au chocolate, cheese, yoghurts, boiled eggs and fresh juice. Although it's not included in the room rate, it was worth paying the extra for.||The only slight problem is that the reception and restaurant areas are only linked by going up a flight of stairs, along the corridor and down another flight of stairs. So the reception isn't always manned, and you need to ring the bell on arrival and wait for someone to arrive. This was the same when checking-out; the only member of staff was in the restaurant, and there's no bell inside the reception - so it was necessary to go all the way back to the restaurant to find someone to pay! Not really a problem though.||All in all, a very nice little hotel, pleasantly located and with very good breakfast!

Very very good, fine cuisine, consistency over the time, great team and very kind! Their wine list is also great, compare to other restaurants in the area. I suggest to choose the Surprise menu.

We found this place to be a bit disappointing after our previous accommodation in France ||||It was a last minute choice with no other available. I am presuming that we paid all that money for the position and closeness to the water. ||||Although clean the shower was so small that the curtain actually clung to you when showering. I have had bigger showers whilst boating. ||||The bed was not comfortable and I spent most of the night wondering if I was going to roll on the floor. ||||In its favour was the excellent wifi and the very friendly hostess .

Le Croisic is an off the mainstream little fishing village that has been, without doubt, one of the best places I have been to in France. I was travelling for an authentic french experience, something I didnt really feel in Marseille or Bordeux, but Le Croisic is lovely. Walk the beach or the paths that border the ocea, meander through the cobbled streets and quiant small shops, i think this is what france was supposed to be...||||L Estacade is a great way of seeing it. 1.1 km walk from the train station but a flat pleasant walk past the shops and a marina full of yachts and fishing boats. My room is comfortable and clean, and exactly what you would want from a cheaper hotel. Recommended for the budget traveller, but more than enough for me.

Absolutely superb. Fascinating food made to very high standard. Wonderful flavours and quality. Perfect service. Very hard to find fault.

A bit pricey. But you get what you pay for. Top quality food with top quality service. No faults.

Nice location, delicious food, welcoming staff members. Recommended
