Well, that was interesting. For our overnight stop in Le Touquet we booked at a chambre d'hote called Itsara, for no other reason that it was rated first of all the hotels (and there are lots) in Le Touquet, by TripAdvisor.
Whilst I realise that TripAdvisor has rating issues I felt that I'd give it a go.
Mr Darmon the proprietor recommended the Marrakesh Suite which is the most expensive of the rooms but, as we were about to find out, with reason. The space is huge with a large bedroom, with a big bed, a small study and a fair size bathroom.
Even more attractive was the access to the garden which was where we had an excellent breakfast.
If you require a bar, restaurant and lots of personal service then this place is not for you but what it is is small, quirky with free wi-fi and right in the middle of town near all the action.
If you arrive late Mr D will leave the key for you in the post box. The only disappointment was that we couldn't get into my favourite Le Touquet restaurant Perard but we'll try for the return trip. Recommended.
I checked out the website. It looks a bit "cool and funky". Much like yourselves I suppose... I think I'd enjoy a stay there, especially if the breakfast was good.
ReplyDeleteThanks Craig, we've never been called 'cool and funky' before so that's a new one. It's definitely a bit different and we've booked on the way back but in a different room, so we'll see.
