Hôtel la Marine

Superb anniversary night away. Our room was upgraded & we were delighted! The quality of service & staff greatly improved under the new ownership. Will definitely stay again, its local to us! Two tips for them, as I say to all hotels! British & Dutch visitors like proper tea! It's easy to buy either PG Tips or Yorkshire Gold Tea in France. We never drink "English" breakfast tea!! It should be served with boiling water, cold milk & white sugar, if required!!! We had to ask for the breakfast menu. Apart from that, wonderful!!

We only had one night at this fabulous hotel. Everything about it was great: the staff are smiling, helpful, expert. The hotel is fresh and light. Our harbour view rooms were wonderful. It really is a terrific pace that deserves to succeed.

Well its a very long time I stayed in any hotel that didn't have at least a king sized bed. Standard double? Reception staff very pleasant. The Michelin starred restaurant? Well, don't bother. we were 6, we all were obliged to take the same choice of dishes & had to plead for one of the fish dishes to swap for lamb. The food was OK, if a tad pretentious. We had to ASK every time for fresh water to be brought, the waiters were very busy gushing over a couple behind us. The last straw was when we actually had to ASK again if the did in fact serve coffee! We asked for coffee & a digestif, the coffee arrived with the drinks menu, again the waiter went off to chat, so by the time we got the digestifs, the coffees were cold. We then waited for the bill, again three waiters laughing and joking with the other table with their backs to us. Eventually we just walked out to reception. We will not go back!

The contemporary room with a view over the harbour and tidal fishing fleet was lovely (beware the glass walled bathroom - it hurts if you walk in to it !) . Comfortable, doors on to a timber deck, glorious views. However, the €82 six course dinner was horrible and a huge disappointment. Raw fish, raw beef and raw oysters, raw mackerel and asparagus, and so on. Beautifully presented by a surfeit of tweezers but hardly anything was actually cooked. A mouthful at best of the nicest items, two or three for the unpleasant. The head waiter spoke good English when we sat down but thereafter our requests were ignored in a barrage of Normand French. A bit like the Kings Clothes , a lot of ego and puff and the gullible will accept it , if we asked for anything it was ignored, after the six courses we adjourned to the lounge bar but were followed by a dish of something vaguely chocolate with a bowl of brown chicken grit - allegedly choc soil accordingly to our waiter. It needed a large Pastis 51 to restore the taste buds. Hotel in every respect superb, eat somewhere else for half the price and triple the pleasure. The one great disappointment in our gourmand trip around Normandy.

Hôtel très sympathique que nous avons déjà fréquenté il y a quelque années L hôtel est resté dans les même qualité nous avons mangé sur place pris le grand menu alors la première fois où nous somme déçu pour le tarif 90€ pour 8 plat alors faut savoir que la mise en bouche fait partie d’un plat Des quantité très minime mais sa c’est normal quand on vas dans ce genre d établissement mais là nous sommes reparti avec la faim car sincèrement nous avons déjà fait des resto comme sa mais la c’est a revoir nous regrettons la marine d’avant La carte des vins avec des bouteille a prix de départ 100€ pour du rouge car vous avez une bouteille a moin 100€ pas dispo c’est honteux Je comprend pk on revoie tous notre copie avec les étoiles Cependant une vue superbe

Une belle maison au bord du Havre de Carteret. Chambres agréablement rénovées, très bonne table, accueil chaleureux et attentionné de la réception à la femme de chambre en passant par l’équipe du restaurant, petit déjeuner somptueux, bref, une très belle adresse dans une charmante station du Cotentin où l’on se sent comme dans un autre monde.
