Le Nessay

I have mixed feelings about our stay at this hotel. The hotel and grounds are stunning, our room was perfect, and the staff were lovely. What travelers need to know is that this hotel is seasonal. It is located in a beach resort town, and when we were there during a weekday in April, the hotel restaurant was closed, as were the restaurants in town. Our only option for dining in the evening was to drive a good 20 minutes to Saint-Malo or to eat in the hotel bar (where 60% of the already limited menu was unavailable).

We stayed 2 nights at the end of August. We had a beautiful and comfortable room at one of the gatehouses. The bed was comfy, there were several English tv channels including BBC1 and 2, ITV and channel 4. The bathroom was beautifully decorated and well planned. The breakfast was all self service. The quality of the breakfast was excellent but it would have nice to have someone explain that you have to make your own coffee (the coffee machine was well away from the breakfast buffet, almost at the kitchen. The staff at the breakfast could have been a bit more friendly to be honest. The hotel has a beautiful bar and terrace overlooking the sea and we had a lovely glass of wine there after our arrival. We didn’t try the restaurant as the menu was not so suitable for us but the bar did offer some snacks. Unfortunately on our second evening (or actually already late afternoon) the bar had absolutely horrible techno party with dj from 4:30 until 9:30pm. There were hardly any customers in the bar but blaring noise that was really irritating. I am a professional musician and wouldn’t mind music in general but this was just infantile computer generated techno with the same thumbing beat for 5 hours. Horrendous!. As mentioned our room was at a gatehouse which was about 100m from the main house and the bar. It must have been unbearable at the main building. There was no prior information about the this techno party otherwise we would have stayed away and had dinner elsewhere.
