Auberge du Clos Normand

A superb hotel, exactly what the Logis de France group represents. Only minutes from the port of Dieppe, we were in beautiful Normandy countryside. The hotel looks like a postcard picture of a French hotel. In a small hamlet with half-timbered houses and a river once crossed by Joan of Arc. The river runs at the bottom of the garden and is filled with birdsong. The room was fine, comfortable beds, plenty of space. Perhaps some renovation of the bathroom facility needed but it was clean and functional. We loved the restaurant so much. Service was precise and correct, the menu was imaginative, local and seasonal. The charlotte of sweetbreads and the giant souffle dessert were stand outs for me but in truth, both nights' dinners were incredibly good. From amuse bouche to final spoonful. The staff give care, attention and a smile. The breakfast was also excellent and thank you to the cheerful Madame who keeps here eye on all and makes sure we are satisfied. We loved the fresh orange juice and the local ham. I absolutely would stay here again and my friend and I used it as a base for seeing local places of interest, of which there are many eg Maison D'Ango, Galerie Michel Ciry, eglise of St Valery , Varengeville and Veules les Roses. Plus the Cote d'Albatre and of course, Dieppe. Come here, sip a glass of pommeau by the river and breathe. Merci à tous, de Melanie et Una, UK.
