    Only wish we could stay longer. Booking.com or host should provide instructions for arrival as you can’t easily drive to the hotel without a code.

    Beautiful, artfully designed common spaces and rooms, with lots of natural and creative elements. Great location at the harbor. Jerome, the proprietor, was welcoming, good natured and helpful when we arrived. Provided guidance on free overnight parking not too far from hotel.

    Loved our stay at Le Lanternon and will definitely return (hopefully next year)! The hotel is superb and the general theme throughout is that everything is to a high standard & good quality (it's very cool)! We opted for breakfast a couple of the days and was lovely. Although there wasn't coffee in the room, Jerome advised we could get a tea/coffee from the dining room downstairs so did this regularly using the machine and nice collection of mugs! The location is the best it could be for us personally, it's situated right on the port and our room overlooked the whole port, it was beautiful. The best part was the balcony/lantern at the top of the hotel that you are able to reserve for an hour or so in the evenings. It was the perfect engagement spot!!! :) Look forward to returning next year, thank you Jerome.

    Had to park outside the village and carry bags a way to the hotel. Would have been nice to get an access code to at least drop off the bags even if we had to park outside.

    Gorgeous spot in a fabulous old fishing port. Very nice and helpful couple as hosts in a beautiful old house restored with great taste and a little humour - we absolutely loved it. Very nice breakfast.

    Parking was not possible in the street outside and although you can drop off your bags at the door a car park 300m away costs 32 euros a day. On the other hand if you don’t mind a stroll, the Cible car park is free and the bonus is the Cible Restaurant which is excellent with tables facing the sea.

    Everything. The position is near the port which is beautiful. We had a view from our lovely room , Hemingway, of the cobbled street and the port. However if you want it quieter ask for a garden view room. The garden is an oasis of calm and breakfast is served here if weather permits. Our room was spacious with a very large comfortable bed and large bathroom and good shower.

    Le Laternon is a home and an adventure in one. Everywhere you turn you are comforted and delighted by what you see and feel. From the incredible art works on the walls to the perfectly worn wood and finders linens….. it was difficult to tear myself away to venture outside. I imagine coming back in the wintertime. And Autumn, and spring….again and again.

    The rooms aren’t cleaned everyday. Small sachets for the shower & bath that don’t go far. The breakfast is hugely overpriced.

    The location, the garden and areas downstairs to sit in. The tea and coffee available to make in the downstairs area is nice.

    It just didn’t have those extra touches of other places we’ve stayed in and it was one of the most expensive. Tea/coffee only available downstairs and not in the room, told not to use it at breakfast time (if we didn't order breakfast) or after 8pm. Exactly the time you’d like to have a hot drink. Breakfast was €25 pp extra, so we didn't bother. Communication with the host was ok but not that helpful. We were directed to a carpark which was €35 a day, I’d recommend looking for other options which did seem available. The rooms were sparse with no useful information about the area, just half a carafe of tap water. Rooms were well decorated but plaster was hanging off the bathroom ceiling and there was some black mould in the shower - both should have been fixed.

    Stylish, character property with lovely garden and excellent location.
