Le Corps de Garde

  : The hotel was more like a Chambres dHotes, very spacious, well located on the quay with views to the lighthouse and harbour. The decor was fascinatingly French and the owner ( or wife) operated a boutique from which guests could purchase a range of fashionable items. We were free to come and go as we pleased, our room was delightful with a view of the port and town and breakfast was adequate. Our room was a good size and we could leave the window and blind ajar to allow ventilation. The bed was comfortable and we appreciated the sofa. We appreciated the good coffee at breakfast.
  : This was the only property which did not provide a kettle or facilits to make tea/ coffee. The waste bins were tiny and we were told that no member of staff would enter our room to clean or remove rubbish due to Covid restrictions, we had to ask for replacement towels of the shy but very pleasant young woman. Given the cost of the room for a 4 night stay, customer care was minimal. To get to the hotel by car we had to telephone the Corps de Garde to obtain the code to lift the barrier into that part of the town. The proprietor greeted us warmly on arrival, indicated where we could park ( very convenient and no charge) and kindly reserved dinner for us in a nearby restaurant, after that he remained very much in the background and the two young women in the kitchen dealt with any queries we had.The shower over the bath was only partially working and only soap was provided. The towels were rather worn. A small bottle of water was provide on arrival but nothing more after that and no fridge for our own water. Breakfasts were adequate but absolutely no variety of choice. The reception area was rather untidy and unwelcoming and lights were left on throughout the day which seemed wasteful to us in a time of heatwave. Our departure was somewhat scrambled due to finding our car parking bay had been taped off without warning, th young woman helpfully wrote a note for the authorities and eventually the proprietor explained it was due to the visit of a government official and there was no need to worry about being towed away. Needless to say we ate breakfast very quickly and left in such a hurry that my husband discovered he only had one shoe out of a pair!
