Maison Lia, ex Pasteur

Second time I’ve stayed there en route from a holiday home. Approximately a 3 hour drive to Le Shuttle/Eurotunnel terminal. Really lovely small hotel, totally independent and not part of a large chain. Had a room directly off the main courtyard as I was staying with my two older labradors who don’t particularly like stairs or lifts. Staff are super friendly. Parking is available on site for a small charge (need to book in advance) and your parking space will be marked with your name. Main gates are locked during late evening meaning that it’s totally secure, including the car park, but guests are given an access code to re-enter if you’re heading out for dinner. Some fantastic but reasonably priced restaurants within a 5 minute walk of the hotel but the hotel itself is in a lovely quiet road so there’s no noise at all from traffic or late night passers by. Room has everything I needed for a one night stay and breakfast is self service/buffet style with a good range of food to choose from. If staying with dogs or if you fancy a stroll, there’s a gorgeous, decent sized park a very short walk away from the hotel. Would highly recommend and will definitely be staying there again. Early booking needed to take advantage of lower prices.

Just right. Very friendly welcome and very well appointed and spacious room. Hotel team make that extra effort that makes the stay particularly enjoyable eg name left above parking space, hotel room service menu on clothes peg in room, really nice toiletries and towels in bathroom. Very attentive staff.
