LE SECRET

Poor
Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : The location, the fireplace in the small lounge
  : Much too expensive for the room provided. Breakfast too poor for 15 euros. Very disappointing overall

Disappointing
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : Location excellent
  : You really have to like dogs & dog's hairs, + a cat in the corner . The owners' dog lays prominently around the premises , nd not to everyone's liking . There was not a clean spray every day ,( around the premises ) + nor were clean sheets/ towels offered / a day + a not so helpful owner to offer us a nice and fine stay + a very risky little swimming pool , you have to glide in with no supports , nearly broke my wrist .

Very Good

  : The position was fabulous. We had a great room in the main hotel once we moved. The first room we were offered was very small at the bottom of the garden with large sliding French windows. No privacy plus very hot as no air con.
  : It is more a guest house, our room was not cleaned and no clean towels - disappointing

Pleasant

  : Location and interior design.
  : Expensive for what you get. No breakfast. Rooms feel very exposed.

  : Location great, easy walk to restaurants bike hire.
  : Location of room too close to door into dining room, info on this would have allowed us to select and book room further away and quieter.

  : This hotel was stunning, the eye for detail and decor was exceptional. We absolutely loved the character of the house and took home many ideas for our own Victorian home! Our room had a lovely garden view. The hotel has a small pool and terrace area which is shared by all guests. It was quiet when we stayed but imagine it could get quite busy when at full capacity. The location was brilliant, very central and within walking distance to the centre, all of the restaurants / shops / beach and cycle shop. It also had an amazing roof top observatory which you could book out and enjoy the stunning views with a drink, which we did almost every evening. The host was very friendly indeed, available when needed but not intrusive. We would absolutely recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again.
  : Unfortunately, the room we had was not air conditioned which made it quite hot, but the host gave us a fan which definitely helped.

  : The whole building has been beautifully restored recently and sympathetically furnished and decorated - a treat for those that have an eye for such details. Public access areas lounge/bar, dining room all comfortable and beautiful. Bedroom "Canopee" was a lovey size, vaulted ceiling - great bathroom/shower and a big very comfortable bed. Breakfast was very good with 3 different options (if a little expensive). Gerome (owner) was super friendly & helpful - very knowledgeable and took time to show us around the property and served us some very nice local drinks each evening before we headed out to dinner locally.

  : Breakfast was great and the system they operated was perfect. The service was fab and the lovely lady that looked after us most mornings was so helpful with anything f we wanted during the day. And so friendly. Jerome was also helpful with restaurant suggestions, parking etc
  : More towels and better lighting in the shower!

Very Poor

  : Great location
  : I have never been made to feel as unwelcome in a hotel as I was at Le Secret. Check in isn't until 5pm and the welcome to drop bags off before then is a complete lie. We arrived at 10am from a very early start of the day to zero welcome and told they were too busy to help us but if we must we could drop our bags in the corner of the hallway and come back at 5pm. After returning at 5pm, my partners daughter had asked to check in first but was told we all had to be shown to our rooms together (despite having 2 separate bedrooms) because the owner didn't want to have to explain himself twice. Rooms are nice but bathrooms smelt of drains and the garden sprinklers come on in the middle of the night and stay on for hours which kept us awake. Breakfast is fine but certainly not worth 25 euros a head. If the welcome was bad the check out was even worst! The owner reminded us several times how busy he was and that he couldn't possibly accommodate our need to want to leave our bags after check out for a few hours before our flight in the evening it was also pointed out how disappointed he was that we had arrived to the hotel so early and left so late. I have never stayed in a hotel where it was a problem to drop off bags and leave bag before/after check out! By the owners attitude towards his paying guests one would think he didn't actually want any guests to come and stay! I usually love telling everyone about my travels and where to stay but I can assure you I would never stay here again nor recommend any one I knew to say either. To add insult to injury I left a bag behind a bag with medication in reception which he refused to put in post (only to France, not even to UK where I live) again because he was much too busy! Hospitality I don't think is for you!
