This modern, light and attractive hotel overlooks the small port and carpark (payable from 9.00 - 19.00.). The hotel will sell you a cheaper ticket at 5 Euros pd. The parking is free in the winter months. ||||There is no lift. We had a large room on the 2nd floor overlooking the harbour and carpark, and which was basically very quiet at night apart from the refuse lorry one night and noisy fishermen shouting to one another as they moored at midnight another night!||||Large very comfortable double bed, wardrobe and shelves, 2 “desk” type areas, with drawers in both. There was a sofa, and a flatscreen TV with BBC World News as the English language channel. At the back of the room there was a good luggage rack, mirror and hooks, but there were only 2 good bedside lights + 2 dimmish lamps in the room and thus it was difficult to find anything in a suitcase even in daylight. The bathroom had a basin and a shower over the bath, and a separate but unventilated w.c.||||It was extremely hot when we stayed, and with the windows taking the sun all day - unless using the electric shutters and when there was no air, and on asking if there was an electric fan, Laetitia produced what we suspect was the one from her office for our use - very welcome and an excellent service response.||||We had breakfast some days - 10 Euros with a varied buffet, including pancakes to heat up in a microwave oven, and in an attractive modern dining room. Their bar is open about 14 hours pd both by reception and on a small decked area outside facing the port.||||Le Crotoy is a small peaceful town but with a number of restaurants with a heavy emphasis on fish and seafood and mainly around the harbour. it is about 6 miles from the extensive wetland nature reserve, the Marquenterre. Abbéville is about 30 minutes’ drive. The much larger, more popular and hectic St. Valery sur Somme is visible on the opposite side of the estuary, and can be accessed by a tourist train.||||The town is about 90 minutes’ motorway drive from Calais and thus a good first or last night’s stop in France.||||Slightly marked down as teh room was dark at the non-window end, and the heat made it difficult to sleep - even with...

A good selection of meats, cheeses, bread and pastries were available for breakfast in a pleasant dining room. There were plenty of restaurants nearby for an evening meal. Plenty of opportunities for dog walking along the promenade and beyond so can...
