Stopped here overnight prior to catching the datyime ferry from Saint Marlo back to Portsmouth. Staff are very freindly and speak good english, helpful if like me your french is limited. Rooms were spotlessly clean. Breakfast available on site if you need an evening meal it's a short drive into saint marlo where a number of eateries are available. The site is difficult to see from the road but there are signs this will be addressed soon. It appears to be recently converted and there were a couple of minor teething type issues with our room. That said, the room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. would definatley stop here again if in the area.
