Auberge La Fontaine Aux Bretons  

Location of hotel is excellent, quiet countryside but 5 mins walk from the sea and various small beaches. Lovely walk into Pornic on the coastal path, approx 3 miles. Also coastal path going in the opposite direction. Lots cycle tracks. Hotel has heated outdoor pool and tennis court. Hotel itself is a lovely, authentic auberge with stone walls, wooden beams. Superb lounge and restaurant with real fire in restaurant - lots of character! Our initial room (we liked the hotel so much we stayed an extra 2 nights!!) was a studio mezzanine, kitchenette, toilet, bathroom and living area downstairs and lovely comfortable double bed upstairs. Room had balcony with 2 deckchairs and umbrella. Kitchenette was very well equipped with 2 electric rings, good size fridge, dishwasher, micro/combi oven and lots of crockery and cutlery. Frying pans, pans of all sizes and various utensils provided. Hotel set in large grounds with super kitchen gardens, vineyard, at the rear of hotel various animals are beautifully kept in a huge paddock area. Our first visit to the hotel and we will book to return shortly.

This Hotel is set on the cliffs overlooking the seawith the most beautiful fruit and veg gardens. The room was excellent with tea and coffee making facilities our room had a sea view and a balcony. The food in the restaurant was excellent with produce from the gardens used in most of the menu. The staff were very freindly and helpful.

The carpark was quite a way from the hotel entrance, this made it hard work carrying the luggage as we were on a motorcycle we had to make 3 trips. It is also a little pricey.

Apartment with two double bedrooms and some kitchen facilities. Generous breakfast.

It rained a lot (not the hotel's fault of course) but the route between the apartment, the main building and the car park was uncovered and a bit muddy. Dinner expensive but not particularly good. Plumbing a bit old - e.g. drooping shower head. Used our own pillows because those in one room smelt strongly of a previous guest's perfume (however they didn't smell dirty). Nowhere obvious to dry damp clothes or towels.

The place is magical, the huge vegetable and herb garden is amazing, and the sea walk into town was a delight. It's a sensual and romantic place. I loved it.

Two things stand out. Firstly, it is very difficult to stay there if you do not have a car or a motorcycle. It is five km to town, and the taxi services only run about once an hour (book ahead, pan to spend some time phoning them all to get a time near the one you want), and not at all after around 7pm. Secondly, for a place so far from town, they are under equipped to deal with customer needs. I was surprised to find they had no obvious supplies - no aspirin/ibuprofen, no suncream, no razors, no toothpaste - either for sale or as a courtesy. Once you are there, without a car, if you don't have these things you are stuck.

L'accueil est chaleureux et l'ambiance agréable et feutrée tout en étant familiale ! La cuisine de l'Auberge est raffinée et de saison avec des produits régionaux. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la proximité de la mer et les superbes ballades sur la falaise. Nous reviendrons l'été pour profiter pleinement des baignades, de la pêche à pieds, des fruits de mer et pour visiter les environs. Une adresse que nous recommandons avec un très bon rapport qualité/prix !!!

Désolés, nous ne trouvons franchement pas de reproche à formuler.

Nous avons beaucoup aimé la situation géographique de l'auberge. Elle est exceptionnelle , très proche du sentier des douaniers et permet de très belles balades en bord de mer. Le personnel est très accueillant. L'auberge et les chambres sont arrangées avec beaucoup de goût. Le repas du soir fut un délice et le petit déjeuner un régal, tout cela à base de produits maison (légumes du potager, confitures maison etc ..... et même du vin maison). Pas de doute, nous y reviendrons avec beaucoup de plaisir.

très joli cadre, appart spacieux et très agréable, personnel très sympatique

L'accueil, le charme, le calme, l'environnement, la convivialité, les animaux de la ferme, l'auberge et ses repas au coin du feu, la vue mer, le potager, l'ambiance chaleureuse des lieux (salon, salle de restaurant, l'appartement)

Vue mer pour une chambre cosy; Un petit déjeuner copieux au coin du feu; Un diner gourmand et du personnel agréable et compétent qui sans problème a accepté de changer notre réservation pour une vue mer

Parfait ! Personnel souriant et compétent, cadre de l'hôtel magnifique, hébergement impeccable tant au niveau de la propreté que des prestations, nourriture délicieuse, bref que demander de plus !?

acceuil et service tres sympatique , cadre et situation exeptionnelle restaurant de qualité sans un service trop obsequieux. sommes ravis du sejour.
