The spiral staircase was a little scary and may not be suitable for the elderly, young children, or anyone with a disability

The location was excellent, right on the harbour. The room was lovely, clean, and had wonderful character. There was also a mini fridge that was stocked with breakfast items and drinks. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend for those looking for somewhere with character.

Beware the steps to the room are narrow so if you are not good at steps beware. Also the bin men empty the bin at 6.30 am so if you are a light sleeper beware

The location was perfect, just behind the harbour but when you open your window you look directly onto the harbour. A1 position

Loved the room. Loved the view. The hosts were great. Thought of everything

The only very minor comment would be that as we were there for two nights we could have done with more butter.

Fabulous location right in the centre of Honfleur overlooking the Vieux Bassin. The room was well appointed with a well-placed table where we could eat watching all the activity going on around the harbour, and experienced a spectacular thunder storm! The bathroom and the shower were excellent with plenty of towels and toiletries and the water, juice, yogurts and cakes provided supplemented the delicious croissants and baguettes from the boulangerie situated one minute away. We had excellent take away sushi from Fuji Sushi in the room on our first night and on our second night dined at Le Fleuron (situated virtually underneath the accommodation) on the recommendation of our hosts. Jean-Philippe and Caroline, the hosts, were very helpful and responded to queries very quickly. A previous review mentioning noise concerned us a little but once the windows were closed it was very quiet. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable stay and we will definitely be back!

Being in the centre of the city had two small drawbacks, but in fairness to the owner, it is a normal trade off to being in a city centre. First, it was noisy. The windows are well glazed to block out the noise if shut but that makes the room a bit too warm. As we like a cooler temperature, we left them open and were woken regularly throughout the night with street cleaners and people enjoying the city night life (as you would expect). We live in the countryside so I am sure a person use to the city would be fine with this element. The only other small point is that parking is a bit of a lottery. We didn't mind putting the car in the city car park at only 6 Euros a day, and it is a pleasant 5 minute walk back to the accommodation through the old town (and, as advised by the owner, some interesting views of the city harbour and old houses from another angle at the car park - so it was a bonus). We did, again as advised, manage to get parking right outside the front door on the Sunday so that was convenient to load up the bags the next day. Again, both of these points didn't reduce our enjoyment of the place and its what is expected in a city.

Wonderful host who very kindly took the time to check what we liked to do, hiking and learning history, and tailored the advice accordingly to inform of us of all the best spots to explore in Honfleur, and there are many, all of which are close to the accommodation. He told us of a great hike to a view point that wound down onto the beach and through a lovely garden with famous people connected to the city, Le Jardin des Personnalités. The walk took in a beautiful fisherman's church, Chapelle Notre-Dame . Incidentally, the small train of Honfleur also goes up to the church/ viewpoint if you don't feel like the 2 hours hike around the circuit. The walk took in the old city which was fascinating too (both halves). There is also a small garden directly opposite the front door of the property which is well worth a stroll through: Jardin du Tripot. The host also advised us on the the most fantastic lunch spot packed full of locals, Le Corsaire, beside the 15th century Église Sainte Catherine, France's largest wooden church, so the setting was wonderful. We had a leisurely lunch and were thankful for the recommendation as we would have otherwise walked past it (like so many tourists were doing). The decoration is so clever and we kept noticing quirky detail over our stay. The water heater in the top room, Albatross, was even painted as an old suitcase, the attention to detail was fantastic. The apartment had everything you could need including a small bar fridge and coffee/ tea making facilities. It was a trek up the lovely old windy wooden steps but that burnt off our big lunch so we didn't mind (but it is worth bearing in mind if you have mobility issues). A top location we would happily go back return, we are certain we missed some of the many Honfleur sites and this is a good starting location. The people in Honfleur were very friendly, like the host, to make the stay even better.

Parking was quite difficult to find & expensive. The town was particularly crowded due to Bastille celebrations.

Fabulous location in the heart of the old harbour area. Very helpful host & generous touches to contribute to the self catered breakfast (butter, milk, bottled water, juice, yogurts, tea & coffee all provided).

Absoluely everything was thought of. Great coffee and food in the room. Fantastic view of the harbour and excellent location. Quirky decor made it something out of the ordinary. We will definately be staying here again.

Not a problem for us but people should be aware that the stairs could be a problem (very steep)

Location , and top class room, hostess and facility’s

Climb to top floor bedroom was steep, wouldn’t recommend for anyone with walking issues.

Great location in centre, car parks close by, but if you can get parking directly in front, it is free.

Just the bed. But personal preference Otherwise it was perfect

Loved the decor and the lovely touches. High end finish. Location was superb and owners called me to tell me how to get in etc. so very easy. Left us yoghurt and milk and water in fridge which was lovely. Bed was uncomfortable but probably a personal preference as bed was hard.

Loved our stay in la Mouettes. Fantastic location, amazing quirky decor, tastefully furnished. The owners certainly go above and beyond - we left something behind and they were great at sorting it out for us.
