Personnels aimable et souriant, c'est la troisième fois que nous venons dans cet hôtel, plusieurs aires de stationnement à proximité. Le cadre agréable est typique de la région, chambre propre, confortable (baignoire, toilettes, TV, wifi, téléphone, bouilloire..), A chaque séjour nous avons bien dormi que nous soyons côté rue ou côté cours. Seul bémol sur ce séjour, le petit déjeuner, plus de service à table, il faut se contenter d'un distributeur de boissons, il n'y avait pas non plus de fruits et les portions (pain, viennoiseries...) sont un peu juste. Quoi qu'il en soit nous recommandons cet hôtel sans hésitation.

Attention aux indications GPS car rues très étroites à proximité de l’hôtel si on arrive pas du bon coté, proche d'une place commerçante avec stationnement. Pas beaucoup de restaurant.

Great hotel. Beautiful with really helpful owners

We arrived in the early hours of the morning after a long night drive from Caen. The owners had emailed us an entry code and organised a location for the key. They also arranged for us to put our bikes in the garden. The room was spacious, clean and really comfortable. The next morning breakfast was excellent and situated in their beautiful garden. I would definitely recommend this hotel to families.

Totally unexpected and hidden retreat for the tired tourists we were. A fully renovated old home transformed in a cosy hotel with authentic materials and genuine decoration. We have highly enjoyed our Old Cognac XSOP glass in a lounge hidden in a cosy corner on first floor...

Very good hotel

We needed somewhere to stay near our daughter and family who were in a gite near Aulnay This hotel proved to be an extremely good base ! Very clean .,comfortable and quite charming Very helpful hosts too We recommend this hotel wholeheartedly ,great ! The only slight drawback is with Aulnay itself ,there is nowhere to enjoy a decent evening meal Just a couple of fast food cafes Aulnay itself is quite charming and we enjoyed visiting the market on Saturday However we did enjoy a marvellous meal in St jean dAngely at L'scorlion restaurant about 20 min away .
