“We loved our stay!”

We had two amazing nights in flat 223 of the residence, which has the most beautiful view over the Baie de Somme. I did not want to leave! We are definitely going to return.

We had two amazing nights in flat 223 of the residence, which has the most beautiful view over the Baie de Somme. I did not want to leave! We are definitely going to return. Parking was very easy with the underground parking and lift to ground, 1st and 2nd floors. Staff were super friendly. The beach is obviously right on your door step. It is really ideal for people who find walking up and down difficult as everything is flat in Le Crotoy! There are some small supermarkets, bakers, butchers...anything you want within a 5 mins walk. It is just an incredibly relaxing place, don't expect anything too lively to happen. On the day we left, it was market day and it was very busy and full of delicious foods. There is a very long walk / bike ride you can do on the sea front, all flat of course, but we did not get to do it as the weather turned and we had to leave. We visited the Parc de Marquenterre which was just the most relaxing experience too. Flat 223 is a 9 person flat and it was very comfy for us as there was only 4 of us! But all the rooms were spacious and clean. Kitchen had everything you might need. Basically, go for it! I want to go back there with friends and family.

“Not what we expected”

We are staying in a "house superieure" facing the baie. It's one of three. We've spoken to reception about our disappointment regarding the metal fence blocking our view, as well as the ineffective privacy dividers. They say they will speak to the council about it and implied the fence had only been up for a few days. However it is clear the weeds have been growing up behind the fence for a while. Having just stayed at La Belle Dune with a lovely Lake view & growing bamboo privacy dividers, this outlook into scrubland was a shock. It cost over a thousand Euros more a week! In addition the house is smaller and not 100% as we woukd expect - one duvet cover not clean, 3 chipped glasses, a cigarette butt on the "patio"... Plus, having arrived on time at 4:50, we had to wait 50 minutes to get into our accommodation, which smelt fishy. What is also poor is that we were informed on enquiry that as we had a roof rack, we could buy a 30 Euro weekly pass and park roadside. We arrived yesterday in the middle of a festival!! A note was put on our car to remove it from the hotel drive (we thought it was just the front three spaces that we had to vacate for safety). We eventually parked at the station... tho not comfortable as locals told us we might not have a roof box on collection! We will need to bring it back into town tomorrow... Note, 24 Euros per day for parking in Zone 1, 30 in Zone 2 (beach area)!! We looked everywhere for a machine that let us buy the weekly ticket we were told about by email. We trudged home at 9pm, weary boys in tow, without a weekly ticket. When I queried at reception this morning, apparently there is one special machine you can use outside the Tourist Information! Note, some people were removing their roof boxes and leaving them in front of their cars in the underground carpark, but we didn't have the step ladders required for ours, plus what a job at the end of the day!! (even if we had known & booked the required underground parking space in advance!). Hopefully the stay will pick up and the view will be restored...
