House with Beautiful views of sea & lovely town of Houlgate. Good sized heated pool & very comfortable town house with a patio. Beds very comfortable & lots of wardrobe space. Kitchen well equipped, good joint microwave & convection oven, 2 coffee machines, Nespresso & filter coffee, toaster, fridge, dishwasher & utensils. No shop & big hill to walk up so advise getting supplies before you get there. Can order baguettes for breakfast. Very dog friendly with lots of walks within the complex. Gardens are stunning & very peaceful. Didn't use spa as extra but looks lovely. Staff very helpful & will return for a 3rd time.

Tiny townhomes in beautiful setting
Tiny townhomes in very nice setting. These are tiny townhomes/apartments in a beautiful wooded setting not too far from Houldgarde. They can be very nice for families seeking seclusion and outdoor activities in a nice nature setting. The reception is closed half the time and a car is required to travel to the town (which is also closed half the time).

The heated swimming pool was closed, which was a huge downside when we arrive, I assumed heated meant it was open during the winter months (we stayed in October). The maisonette had beautiful views of the town but the bathroom was really cramped. The place was really in need of repairs, tiles missing in the bathroom which also had plug holes in the wall from a missing soap tray, a lot of wear and tear around (marks on walls, floors), a plug was missing from the wall by one of the master bedroom's bedside tables with the wires visible inside the hole, there was visible dust on walls behind the bedside lamps, rusty looking sealant by the shower doors etc. We couldn't be bothered to complain as we were only there for three nights and wanted to hit the town and get some food before it was too late. The town of Houlgate is pleasant with many shops (butcher, bakery, small supermarket etc) and a nice sandy beach.

Fabulous hotel with spa attached
Very peaceful, within walking distance of beach. We stayed in a self catering little house which was immaculate, great view. The only improvement I'd suggest is a coffee shop or snack shop onsite so if people don't want to go down into the town for restaurants & shops they can get a few essentials on site.

Good place to stay if you bring a car and food
Quiet, good view and reasonable price - but a lot of disapppointments, too. Difficult to find and impossible to get to without a car. No food, not a simple cafe on the property - the nearest coffee houses and restaurants are 15-20 min walk. True, the apartments have kitchens, but if you have not brought your own food, you are in trouble. Reception not 24 hours and fairly inefficient: they could not find my reservation, never responded any emails, the telephone listed on the website is not working - we really had lots of trouble with them. OK, this is France, we still love it in spite of all the efforts of the natives toput us off

Pleasant surprise in Houlgate
We were traveling with our 2 grandsons 14 &15. We knew that there was a swim pool, but we didn't use it. All food and drinks had to be purchased at local stores. They had a bakery deliver baked good (all were wonderful). Full kitchens. We used the hotel for travelling to Normandy, Mont st Michelle. The hotel would have marvelous if some of the basics were included in the kitchen. There were pot and pans, plates and silverware, dishwasher with soap, but not one condiment, coffee filter or coffee. No sugar or salt or pepper. Other than that it was a great stay.
