Le Clos Normand

Had a lovely stay at hotel and on last night went into hotel restaurant.. was greeded by Geraldine who was an asset to the hotel very friendly and explained things on french menu .. overall a great experience very friendly … will be back .. thank you Geraldine

We discovered this hotel about 2 years ago when we were passing through. We returned to St. Aubin Sur Mer this year but because we were staying longer than a night we booked into a camp site we had found. We visited the restaurant twice because the food is superb and the staff are so helpful and friendly not too expensive but the food is great quality. Really would recommend this restaurant for a special meal.

I find it hard to give an overall rating to this hotel. My wife tells me to "be positive" so let's start with the positives. There is free parking right outside and the hotel leads directly onto the promenade, as shown in the picture. Vincent, whose English is excellent, gave us a very good welcome and there is a lift to the upper floors. Our sea view room gave us a lovely 'panoramique' view of the ocean and the free wifi worked well. For those interested in WW11 the beach was 'Juno Beach' in the Normandy landings and there are plenty of memorials and reminders of those dark days; there is even a German gun emplacement complete with gun on the promenade. However; the room was quite small and was so simply furnished and decorated as to be austere; it felt like a student flat. The wardrobe was fitted with folding doors that were not of the best quality, the bathroom had been refurbished and had 2 wash basins, side by side, which left almost no space to use the toilet. The bath had a shower head over but no shower screen or curtain. Given it's positives the hotel offers good value but, for us, the negatives outweigh the positives and we wouldn't recommend staying here.

From when we made our phone call to confirm our reservation for dinner up to our arrival and welcome at Reception, we experienced Sophie’s energy and delight in the wonderful hotel she has established. Both somehow set the tone for everything we experienced at Le Clos Normand. The beautiful grounds, our room, superb bed linen and wonderfully comfortable bed as well as the most fabulous meal in the charming restaurant all were perfect. Add to that all the staff who seem to share Sophie’s own energy and pleasure in making guests so welcome, including our waiter in the restaurant, though clearly very knowledgeable about both food and wine, advised us generously without any pretension. He was professional, amusing and relaxed. In all the very many years we have been coming to France, it has been a challenge to find somewhere as lovely to stay near one of the northern ports. We will definitely be back – perhaps for a weekend as well as when we travel further south. Le Clos Normand is exceptional and we have huge admiration for Sophie in all she has achieved.

We stayed here with family for one week in August. This is a lovely little place. Everything is very clean and well organised, and the staff is helpful and friendly. The rooms seem to be recently renovated and clean. The hotel is situated at the beach front and the beach itself is good for kids as it gets deeper very gradually. Despite the high season the town was not crowded, so it was a relaxing esperience. The wifi works well in the rooms and is fast enough. In the common places it is quite slow.

Chambre petite mais la salle de bain c’est pire encore… Espace hyper réduit entre les wc et le meuble vasque notamment pour les grandes personnes peu de place pour s’assoir. Ce n’est pas digne d’un hôtel 3 étoiles !!! Des hôtels 2 étoiles font nettement mieux … Voir photo

Très bon restaurant à un prix abordable. Cuisine un peu élaborée. Plats savoureux très bien cuisinés avec de bons produits. Personnel serviable. Service rapide en nous laissant le temps. Beau cadre. Face à la mer. Je recommande. Belle surprise

Idéalement situé en bord de mer, joli bâtiment et chambres très confortables, avec vue sur la mer. Bonne literie, bon petit-déjeuner, personnel aimable et accueillant. On a passé un très bon séjour. Nous n'avons pas eu l'occasion de manger au restaurant

Chambres agréables, vue mer. lits confortables. Petits déjeuner correct mais bruyant et atmosphère désagréable (comme au restaurant le soir) : du personnel nettoie ses bacs à glace en acier et d'autres balaient le sol pendant que vous déjeuner !
