Hôtel le Mur du Roy — Restaurant in Vannes

What "sold" us this hotel was definitely the location, down a longish, country lane and far from the crowds at other parts of this popular area of the Gulf of Morbihan. The building is vaguely like a bungalow with rooms in a steeply sloping upstairs, all with velux roof-lights. We could stay only one night- which was just as well, as the day was exceptionally hot (30c.) and the heat just increased as we took our luggage above. Unfortunately, our bedroom was at the front, overlooking the pleasant entrance but meaning that there was no breeze from the sea. The room was smallish , as was the shower-room, but the latter had everything one needed and was clean. Several room doors needed re-painting quite badly.||There is a large terrace and a lawn surrounded by bushes; the other side of that is a coastal footpath and a pretty, quiet (well, June!) crescent of a beach with pines. Total quiet except for the sea lapping in to the fine sand. Plenty of parking, by the way,||3-course dinner was 23 euros. Good value for money. I had a small "assiette de pecheurs" with 2 absolutely delicious oysters amongst the rest. My partner had fried Camembert --at least 6 pieces and good. He had a boned, fresh plaice with sort of roast potatoes; I had a mound of morgate, (squid) on...roast potatoes. We both enjoyed the main items but...roast potatoes, rather soggy, with fish...no-no. Afterwards, we both had cafe gourmand, which was good. The wines were a medium price but the bread with the starters was DELICIOUS...we ate it all and the cute young waitress brought us more.||Breakfast was o.k. Pity to have plastic-wrapped pieces of cheese . Excellent coffee.||For us: location 10/10. Room price including breakfast : 8/10 Dinner: 8/10 but would be more if slightly more trouble was taken with those main course veg. Service: 8/10. The big question....would we return....yes, but really because of...

Had a lovely one night stay here as part of a touring holiday we had planned. The rooms are simply furnished but very clean, the beds were really comfortable with an extra pillow supplied on request. We opted for an upper floor room so as we could leave the window open at night which was a good job as it was very hot, we asked them for a portable fan which they supplied to us. The only comment I would make about our room was that it was quite a stride up into the shower so just be careful getting in and out. Very quiet area so had a really good night sleep. We did not opt for a sea view but we sat on the patio for a glass of wine when we arrived so could admire it then and also for our evening meal. You can eat out on the patio however we opted to eat in the restaurant, right next to the open window so we had the best of both worlds, semi eating outside but with comfy chairs. The young husband and wife who run the place do a great job and made us feel very welcome, her English was excellent. The meal was lovely and although they specialise in fish dishes there were options for the carnivores amongst us. Breakfast was lovely and again could be taken on the patio or in the breakfast room overlooking that...
