Hotels Near Camping Vieille Église in Cayeux-sur-Mer

Beautiful spot in almost the middle of nowhere. Close to the sea with a stunning view and loaaads of potential but ooooh...I never felt so unwelcome in a hotel before! I was on a roadtrip with my 20 yrs old daughter in Normandy. No plans just going where the wind blows. So we called hotel Le site in the morning to make a reservation for the night. A very kind woman picked up the phone: ”all good and when you arrive a little more early (I asked for) and the room is ready, no problem”. So we arrived around 14.30 (not an uncommon time to arrive, is it?) in a totally abandoned place. The reception was closed. No people around, only a French couple with the same problem. When we took a look around also the plungepool seemed to be end of season (it was a warm day though). I picked some working men from the garden but even they had no clue. After 15 minutes of waiting I decided to call the hotel. And ”yeah” a woman picked up. I am not a princes, not high maintenance, very flexible and used to something but this woman was rude+! I speak French. Good enough to have a conversation. But when the French start to speak too fast in their very French way I can't follow. She bitched in fast French that the rooms were not ready yet and the reception will be open from 17.00. She spoke no English. Not a word. Uh? So what to do now? Nobody told me that I couldn't even store my luggage. I told her I wanted to cancel the reservation so I could go to a more welcoming place. Not a chance of course, I just had to wait and she hung up on me. A man arrived and I asked him. He walked to a back door and to my very surprise a woman opened. Ha! Lucky me! I kindly asked her in French about the reception, for the rooms etc. but her attitude was so unpleasant that it became hilarious (I guess it was the lady I spoke with on the phone). Enough is enough so after some Ooh lala and tralala and some #$!%# on my part the room appeared to be ready and I got the key. We left our luggage and escaped to the next village Mers-Les-Bains. Pffff... Next morning, no way we wanted to have breakfast there, a very kind young man stood behind the reception. Totally sweet and helpful. So maybe, the day before, we just met the angry stepmother on a bad hair day? Actually, the rooms are ok. Clean and comfy. Our bathroom was a ballroom. The hotel has a restaurant but it was closed the day we arrived. The environment is beautiful for walks and there is a cute little beach only a stone's throw away.

Very good hotel. The hotel is simple but pleasant. The location allows you to be calm despite being on the road side. The rooms are located on the back there is no noise. Parking is accessible even at night. The hotel is located in the centre of Eu and is located on the coast in a 5-minute drive. We preferred this hotel to chain hotels with a price of almost the same because we saw on the site that the room was very large and the services were of better quality. The hotel's booking directly on the hotel's site is one more at the price level. Only a small bemol the wifi really doesn't work well. And if you are on SFR the 4G doesn't work well either.. if you are on Orange it goes a little better. The hotel is very comfortable and comfortable. For people who like to eat salt there is cheese and jam.. we have not tested the restaurant. It doesn't work on Friday or Sunday. But the prices are about € 30 for an entrance and a dish. In short ... We recommend this hotel that is more comfortable and not cheaper than the Ibis Style chain hotels.
