La Cour Sainte Catherine Demeure de Charme

Yes. It’s a lovely old medieval building with an in-town location. It has lots of charm although it would have been nice if the plastic flowers in the yard and office were real. Our room had little practical lighting - what was the purpose of the huge modern chandelier hanging over the bed? The room had a strong sweet perfume smell. There were 8 lively decorative pillows on the bed but not one of them could be used for comfortable sleeping. Have the owners tried sleeping here? The bathroom was its best attribute. It was beautiful - large and modern. The shower had plenty of hot water and great water pressure. There was no one permanently at the front desk AND there was no bell to call anyone that we could see. Definitely reserve parking as there are very few spaces on the steep and narrow street.

Booking this Hotel was a delight, in that Liliane who is responsible for all bookings, always responded by email in English and was as helpful as anyone could be. This boutique Hotel is superb, with an amazing history, and so beautifully kept. All rooms are unique, furnished to a high standard with quality fittings and modern bathrooms. Do check mobility issues, as some of the staircases can be steep, but help is always available. The Hotel is managed by the owners, and we were delighted to make the aquaintance of Marie and her daughter Laura, both of who spoke very good english, and constantly looked after their guests. The garden courtyard with it's patio tables and chairs within the delightful garden are just lovely, and drinks can be purchased for consumption. A special mention must be made for the breakfast offering. The quality of the food is exceptional, with much of it being homemade, and Laura and her mum look after all their guests magnificently. Car parking is available but must be pre-booked. The port of Honfleur is a simple 5 minute walk. What a truly wonderful find. Thank you so much to the owners.

A lovely small hotel centered around a courtyard and garden. Our room was a suite that was accessed by a tiny circular staircase. In retrospect we should have left luggage in our car but weren't sure if the parking garage was secure at night. It was hard getting our gear up two levels. Our traveling companions scored the suite that was on the first level with the reception area and breakfast room. Both rooms were lovely but having the lower floor would have been my choice. The breakfast was great with lots of choices. We were there two nights and met two couples that we had connections with. One couple from Atlanta was friends of friends at home and another couple were friends of friends in Nashville - such a small world. You just never know who you are going to meet! The parking garage was uphill a couple of minutes but parking on the street was an option if you were lucky. Honfleur center is a few minutes walk away. Had a great time at the Saturday market in Honfleur. Would highly recommend.
