One of the loveliest stays we have experienced in a unique place. The peniche is exquisite and cosy. Some people might not like sharing the common spaces with other guests. However, we had the place to ourselves 2 nights in a row and met lovely people at the breakfast table. A place like no others. There could be more comfortable chairs in the living room if the weather was inclement.

Glorified floatlng youth hotile

The welcome girl, was not very welcoming. A smile would have been nice. The toilet made a grinding noise every 30 mins. I felt the place was more suitable for youngers that like living together in a glorified youth hostile. View from bed and toilet was the best.

Very hard to contact them

four emails sent between 4 weeks and three days prior to departure asking for door codes, as we were likely to be late. No reply received to any of them. Called number day before departure several times and was told number was not in service. Sent fifth email on day of departure and finally received an email reply telling us the door codes. Explained this to staff this morning, who claimed they hadn't received any but the final email, and said I should have phoned!!! I did!!!!!

Unable to get past the gate to park our vehicle. Fortunately someone unrelated to the property was able to get us through. Once we parked, we were unable to get into the property. Had another guest not arrived shortly before we did, we would have been unable to get in. There was no one to greet or check us in. A staff member arrived in the morning to prep a breakfast. Most unusual check-in process I’ve ever experienced. Had we known this in advance, we would not have booked this reservation. Our travel partners and other patrons also experienced the same frustration we did. Other than that, the barge was nicely appointed, our room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was simple but delicious.

Un cadre fantastique et un établissement très propre et agréable. Prendre son petit déjeuner sur l'Erdre, quel dépaysement ! Le personnel est vraiment sympathique. J'ai passé une nuit pour des motifs professionnels mais pour les séjours en famille c'est également parfait. Attention au parking cependant, les places sont rares. Bon séjour.

C est la première fois que nous arrivons dans une chambre d Hôtes sans être accueillis ce qui nous a semblé étrange et un peu impersonnel, il faut le reconnaître. Le lieu en revanche est très agréable, propre et nous vous remercions pour toutes les indications envoyées avant notre arrivée. Peut-être prévoir une petite bouteille d eau dans la chambre pour la nuit. En ce qui concerne le petit déjeuner, simple mais efficace avec une très jolie table. Peut être prévoir un peu de salé ou au minimum des oeufs durs? Dans l ensemble, nous sommes satisfaits de notre séjour au milieu de la nature et vous souhaitons une bonne continuation .
