“Always a treat to have dinner at La Glycine on 6June each year . Thanks to Romain and all the staff, especially those whom we have known for many years. Delicious food beautifully served. Sincerely, Penny Howard Bates”
“Clean, calm, at your service. We stayed 2 nights and it was a good weekend! Breakfast is nice and you have eggs coming from the local farms.”
“On arrival we were checking in and mentioned how we were looking forward to a beer. The receptionist, paused what she was doing and went and bought us 2 lovely beers. Fantastic welcoming service. A brilliant hotel, clean rooms and a nice but basic breakfast. We were visiting for 1 night to see Pegasus bridge and this was a perfect place to stay. Thank you”
“We found the hotel easy to find using satnav. Car park was good, we felt our classic car was secure. Hotel was very close to Caen ferry port. We had an electric kettle in the room which we really appreciated being english!! The room was lovely and clean. The bed was comfortable and the shower nice and hot. The evening meal was really enjoyable. The price was really reasonable. It was a fixed price for dinner, bed and breakfast. This was the best value stay during our tour through France. Highly recommend.”
