Pet friendly hotels in Normandy, France

Here's a unique hotel - housed in a old mansion from the 1900s. This means that each room in the original wing is a little different and 'eclectic'. There's also a new wing with newer rooms, a spa, a swimming pool (sorta heated), a bistro and a 1 Michelin star restaurant. Pros: - Unique style of hotel that's set away from the hustle/bustle of the Etritat town. - Helpful staff - Complimentary bakes and hot drinks from 4-6pm - Michelin-star restaurant on site (but it was closed during our visit) - Comfortable beds, good water pressure and a bathtub - Professional grade Nespresso machine in-room with 4 pods (2x decaf) + nice tea bags - Grounds are cute, with a resident cat, fireplace and pleasant garden-ish spaces. Cons: - Cleanliness - we discovered a swarm of ants crawling behind the curtain. We think it was some food that wasn't cleaned away from the previous guest that attracted the ants. This was gross. - Room styling may not be to everyone's tastes - suggest you ask to view a room before you move your luggage in. - Narrow stairs to rooms in main building, was abit hard to get luggage up to but they can get help if needed. - Location could be a con for some as it's a good 10-12 min walk into the main down down a high. - Parking spaces were limited. - Breakfast is pricey at 25 euro - there's a great boulangerie in town Maison Piquenot that you can get good croissants, baguettes from. - Overall abit pricey for the value you get.

If you want to experience La vraie vie de chateau (a real life a a castle owner) this is your choice. Only 5 rooms available, very private, feels like you are in your own chateau… fabulous park and setting around the main building, was told there are other separate “mini” houses in the park , and you can go watch the horses…. And admire the view on the valley. Our room: we booked the round bedroom … the center bedroom on the 1st floor…. Fabulous place, need a bit of upgrade in the bathroom… if anything… but seriously felt like a châtelain… as we reached early, we were welcomed by one of the sons of the owners who took us around the private wing, “his house”, and told us everything about the mansion history as well as hotel business. A great interaction with a friendly castle owner and businessman. They also have a snooker, a gym and sauna…. I mean… what else do you want!!! We had to go out for dinner (at L’Hermitage) which the owner booked for us. Breakfastwas served in the salons…. Stylish French dépit déjeuner, served by a dynamic, friendly and frank lady. Just go. Dont hesitate.

Loved this hotel so much. I kept booking it and stayed 3 consecutive nights. So chic, so pretty and perfect. Extremely clean and it even has a nesspresso machine and decaf pods. From having stayed in many hotels in Europe, most AC are not very strong. Le Carline was the exception. The AC was extremely cold and pleasant. The rooms are very well insulated so you can’t hear anything that’s going on outside. Great for your rest. Definitely will keep coming back.

The bedding was comfortable, however, we could hear the child screaming from their room at the entrance to the hallway while we were at the far end. The partition wall was paper-thin. Cleanliness was minimal; the bathroom ceiling was black in places. For the price, and for one night, it was acceptable.

Well maintained hotel, warm welcome, good breakfast, good service

The hotel is a private house located in the center of the town with private parking. It is very convenient to walk to the surrounding attractions. The garden is quiet, the interior is beautifully decorated, the rooms and bathrooms are spacious, with a balcony, sanitation is in place, and there is plenty of storage space. The host couple and staff are warm, the cooking is superb, and the dinner and breakfast are very exquisite and delicious. Suitable for couples or small families on vacation.

Hotel is good, the proprietress is very enthusiastic. The breakfast is eaten in the bar next door. It seems to be the same boss. The room is clean and easy to enter. If you can live for a few more days, it is better to let the landlord help rent a bicycle.
