Why We Like It

It's all about the genial hosts. With only three guest rooms to tend, hosts Sylvie and Jacques take the time to make everyone welcome. They answer questions and provide insider tips. Plus, guests get a discounted hot-air balloon ride with Jacques, a balloon pilot. We love the free parking and the B&B's garden, with a bench, flowers, and fountain. While there isn't a lot of privacy outside the bedrooms, this B&B is perfect for those who want to meet their hosts and enjoy good company.

Fodor's Expert Review

Once a guest house for sailors, this restored B&B is full of heritage and personality. The attentive hosts, Jacques and Sylvie, make budget travelers, families, and young couples feel right at home. They serve a big, free, homemade breakfast.
