This was our first stop in Brittany and it was an absolute delight!! The hotel is in a beautifully rehabbed manor house sitting adjacent to a lovely beach and walking distance to restaurants, shops and a gorgeous section of the 2000 pm long walking trail around the entirety of Brittany's coast. Our room, which was in the manor house itself, on the second floor, was gorgeous. Large windows, light filled, and a bathroom in the turret!! The bed was very comfortable, the toiletries were delicious, and it was a tonic to fall asleep to the sound of the ocean (windows open, no insects, no "street noise" as this is a very small town). I want to specifically mention the staff, all of whom were lovely, warm, professional and very helpful. Thank you to the entire team!! Also, a mention is warranted on the seaview terrace bar - we spent afternoon happy hour out there more than once, glass of wine or champagne in hand and an ice cold platter of the most delicious local oysters in front of us. I have seen some not 100% positive reviews of the food - I do not agree!! We very much enjoyed our breakfasts on-site and also our happy hour treats. While we did not have dinner at the restaurant, I will simply point out that the hotel is within a stone's throw (walking, not driving) of several excellent eateries, and so there is no cause whatsoever to criticize, in my opinion. We are already dreaming of our next time in St. Briac sur Mer and will happily repeat our stay at Le Nessay!!!

“Nice, but not a Small Luxury Hotel of the World.”

Although the hotel is outwardly beautiful and sits on an exceptional peninsula with lovely views, I doubt that it merits being among the Small Luxury Hotels of the World. The grounds around the castle are public and during our Pentecost-weekend stay there were literally hundreds of walkers on the premises. Privacy? No privacy. The bar and the terrace: a big pub! Open to all. No reserved area for hotel guests. In the afternoon of Pentecost Sunday, we did not find a table for two and had to go to the village for an aperitif.Privacy? No privacy. The room: Nicely appointed with a rather spectacular shower in a room in the turret. Yes, there was a bottle of water and a Nespresso machine, but no other treat at all: no piece of cake or chocolate, no welcome drink, no flower. Little attention to guests. So all in all: A good pub-hotel beautiful to look at, nice, but not luxurious, and at some 500€ per night for two (plus parking fees) including a very standard breakfast certainly way over the top.

“Summer Resort Hotel 20 minutes from Saint-Malo.”

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.

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).
