"This terrific and very stylish four-star establishment is all nautical downstairs and has cheerfully painted rooms upstairs arranged with sisal flooring and attractive furnishings." Full review

"L’Erguillère, is a lovely little hotel in a secluded seaside location in Normandy, with cosy, comfortable rooms, friendly owners, and a sandy beach a short walk away." Full review
